Spreading Warmth in our Community Our residents spent time putting together cozy kits filled with thoughtful items to bring a little extra comfort to individuals staying at our local warming shelter. Each care package was assembled with items that can bring a bit of comfort to the winter months, including fleece-lined socks, a hat and gloves, hand warmers, and a rain poncho. This project gave our residents the opportunity to show kindness, give back to our community, and make a positive impact on the lives of others. We are proud of their generosity and the reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can help someone feel cared for!

We’re excited to share another exciting milestone for our branch! Our team has officially become Certified Internal Trainers for Montessori Inspired Living! Congratulations to Beth, Lourdes, Maggie, and Ciara on reaching this milestone! This means we can continue growing our knowledge, supporting our staff, and bringing Montessori principles to life in everything we do. We’re proud of the dedication our team has shown and look forward to continuing to create meaningful opportunities, independence, and purpose for our residents. #MontessoriInspiredLiving #MakingEveryMomentMatter

Serving up sweetness with a smile! Our residents enjoyed spending time in the kitchen baking delicious skillet brownies! From helping mix the ingredients to preparing the batter, everyone had a chance to be part of the process. The best part, of course, was enjoying the warm, chocolatey treat together once it was ready! The brownies were so delicious, they were gobbled up before we could get a picture! Activities like these bring back familiar memories, encourage independence, and remind us that sometimes the sweetest moments are made right in the kitchen.

Our residents got creative in the kitchen as they put together homemade seasoning salt jars for our wonderful staff! From measuring and mixing to filling and decorating each jar, everyone had a hand in creating these special little gifts. It was a fun, hands-on activity that gave residents the opportunity to practice familiar kitchen skills while doing something thoughtful for others. We hope these jars add a little extra flavor to our staff's day and serve as a small reminder of how much they are appreciated!

Two of our caregivers showcased their creativity while supporting the Beyond the Bell program at their Trunk or Treat. We love supporting the community, please keep us in mind when looking for volunteers! #trunkortreat #bickfordofsiouxcity

Our residents had a frightfully fun time celebrating Halloween at our annual Halloween party! From festive decorations and plenty of Halloween spirit to laughter, treats, and time spent together, the afternoon was filled with smiles and spooky fun. It was wonderful seeing everyone get into the spirit of the holiday and enjoy a little Halloween excitement. Thank you to everyone who helped make our celebration such a memorable one!

We had a wonderful morning filled with music when a family member stopped by to play piano for everyone! Residents enjoyed listening to familiar tunes, clapping along, and taking in the beautiful music. It was especially meaningful to have a family member share his musical talents with our Bickford family. Moments like these remind us how music can bring people together, spark memories, and brighten everyone’s day. Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us!
