The Power of Baby Doll Therapy
For many individuals with dementia, a baby doll provides a calming presence. It can soothe restlessness, encourage conversation, and create a sense of routine. Caregivers often observe residents rocking, singing to, and cuddling their dolls, helping to fill emotional and sensory needs. While this may not be a good fit for all, others welcome this, sparking joy.
I have to share another fun event.. if you’ve never been to a happy hour, here’s a little insight to our tea party theme today. Take a look!

Happy Hour Friday event was one for the books!! Alex Irwin performed many favorites, from Garth to Johnny. We danced and tapped the afternoon away! We made it a family affair, as Alex’s aunt is a resident here:-) #bickford # familyaffair

Who found the four leaf clover? It was Nancy! Our day began by baking banana bread. We added chopped walnuts to one loaf. It was a hit! Other activities of the day we played kickball and put puzzles together and listen to a story.

There is an activity that always brings out the smiles, It is our Cooking Club! There is something so satisfying about cooking together! It is also rewarding to taste the fruits of our labor! Food warms the heart!
