As we age, our risk for falls increases, and our ability to recover decreases. That’s why reducing fall risk is so critical, and the prevalence of falls among older adults is so concerning. In fact, 1 in 4 falls in senior living results in a higher level of care. But at Bickford of Sioux City, we manage falls with SafelyYou’s extraordinary combination of world-leading AI and remote clinical support, which is proven to reduce falls and fall-related ER visits. So, our residents stay safer, are more likely to stay out of the ER, and stay in the community they trust to care for them. #WeAgeWell #FallsPreventionAwarenessMonth

Friday was National Taco Day! We enjoyed Street Tacos for an appetizer followed by great entertainment! Terri Orr was here, and she gives a fun history lesson as she sings great old familiar tunes!

We’re all happy for Fall. Gathering around the table to paint a tall wooden decoration can start up many conversations. We always compare coloring techniques and try new things. #crafting # Bickford

National coffee day, we enjoyed the “take out” cup with a sprinkle of love And choice of creamer. I chose a few other photos that I thought represented our daily joys. I hope you enjoy them all! #bickfordmemorycare #coffeeday

Today Mike and Lori whipped up peanut butter cookies. The ladies spent the morning in the beauty shop. They look great! Chaplain Tony lead an inspiring Bible Study. Great Tuesday with many smiles!

It’s National Mud Day! Residents got special treatment in and out of the beauty shop. We enjoyed facials using a clay (mud) mask that is super gentle on the skin, followed by botanical moisturizer. Regular beauty shop hair-dos make the world go round! Who doesn’t like to soak their feet in warm Epsom salt water and get a leg/foot massage as we apply soothing lotions? Mani/pedis will be enjoyed all week! Here are some homemade treats we have enjoyed this week. We really hit the jackpot!!

It feels like Fall! With the change of seasons, painting and crafting is so fun. These friends found that pink is the new favorite blending color for sunflower painting. #bickford #fallcrafting

Yesterday we were Super Hero's for National Comic Book or Super Hero Day! Today we enjoyed music and color relaxation time. Being a super hero is exhausting!

We welcomed help with a project from “Into The Streets” group from Morningside University. They are committed to community involvement. Today they were our Hero Day heroes. Our residents did activities that included a Spider-Man puzzle, a reputable marvel hero. We ended the day with courtyard conversations about our favorite music. The Beatles were nominated to be put on the play list. #bickfordpatio #morningsideuniversity #hero
