Memory Care Happy Hour Fridays are at 2-3pm. This week Beth and I hosted a Hot Cocoa Bar/Ugly Sweaters. A hot cocoa bar adds a touch of sweetness and creativity to any party, where friends can sip, laugh, and customize a perfect cup of warmth. We also celebrated the first day of Winter (Saturday) by selecting cool blue colors/sweat cocoa aroma, and Christmas music.

The sounds of Christmas filled the air today! This morning we were treated to the wonderful sounds of the North Middle School Patriot Choir. They sing so beautifully! This afternoon we were surrounded by the foot stomping lively sounds of Chopper and the Huckleberry's! The music if the season brought so much joy to our Bickford Family! Tis the season to be jolly!

Lights, camera, Action! We keep it moving every day. Noodle ball, pedal power, and drum therapy with Michelle and Stephanie bring energy to our days. And for the artist in the group, we build a snowman. This is how we do it. It does the body good!

We were so happy to have the Siouxland Youth Chorus, Thank you here with us. The choir put on a wonderful performance. One of our Residents Mike, joined them with a solo of Silent Night, the choir followed that in German. This is so touching to be a part of! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Merry Christmas! “Get ready to jingle and mingle! Our Memory Care Christmas Party is the perfect blend of holiday cheer, festive fun, and heartwarming moments to create memories that will sparkle brighter than the tree!”

Experiences of our every day life here can be summarized by the want for purpose. We need to let them do things they can do. We need to let them enjoy those tasks that come easy for them. Sometimes, simple is more. At the end of the day, we create happy moments at every chance. Here’s proof! Look at those smiles!! Even Lucky, the elf, agrees!

Today we were treated to a wonderful performance by the Arena Dance Academy. These girls were so adorable! This was so much fun to watch! The dancers brought smiles and joy to our Bickford Family. The spirit of Christmas was all around us! Thank you dancers! You are fabulous!

Hanging an ornament you made on the tree is pure delight, a mix of creativity and pride. You laugh at its quirks, maybe a smudge of paint or uneven edges, and remember the fun of crafting it. As you place it on a branch, there’s a playful satisfaction in knowing your handiwork now shines among the twinkling lights.#Bickford #christmastree
