We also celebrated National Bingo Day with a family bingo evening and,spaghetti supper. Everyone had a great time! And our kids from the Beyond The Bell program spent their final day of their summer volunteer season with us this week.The group enjoyed Bingo with prizes and treats.We enjoyed the children very much! Let the good times roll !

We celebrated our dad's with a delightful Dessert with Dad Bar. There were many Delights to please any appetite.There was a wonderful selection! Happy Fathers Day!

We experienced heartwarming activities this week. These activities brought us joy and comfort and a wonderful feeling of life's Simple Pleasures. We enjoyed pet therapy with lots of furry cuddles and we spent some time looking through recipe books for the cooking club and we attended a spaghetti dinner and barber shop chorus concert what a wonderful week!

At Bickford, we embrace the Montessori approach to dementia programming by focusing on abilities rather than limitations. Meaningful roles, familiar routines, and purposeful activities help residents maintain independence, confidence, and a sense of belonging. Something as simple as a resident watering the flowers each morning becomes more than a task—it becomes a valued responsibility that provides structure, accomplishment, and purpose. By creating opportunities for residents to contribute in ways that are meaningful to them, we help foster dignity, engagement, and joy in everyday life. #higherpath #memorycare #bickfordofsiouxcity

Hat's Off to Bickford: Creating Colorful Summer Hats The residents at Bickford Memory Care recently welcomed the summer season with a fun and creative hat-making activity. Using colorful flowers and other decorative materials, residents designed their own unique summer hat, each reflecting their individual creativity and style. The conversation and laughter as they admired each other's hats was priceless. This is a great reminder that age has no limits on creativity.

A Splash of Fun: Our Resident Painting Party This week, creativity was in full bloom at our resident painting party! Residents came together to unwind, socialize, and most importantly—paint whatever their hearts desired. The atmosphere was full of laughter, music, and the delightful smell of fresh paint. The variety of colors, styles, and ideas on display was truly inspiring. What made the event extra special was the freedom to create without rules. No pressure, no expectations—just pure fun. It was a joy to see neighbors encouraging each other, sharing tips, and admiring each other’s masterpieces. By the end of the afternoon, the room was filled with colorful canvases and even brighter smiles. Our painting party reminded us that sometimes, the best way to connect and unwind is to simply pick up a brush, let your imagination run wild, and have a good time. #bickfordofsiouxcity #montessori #memorycare #creativepainting
