When your outfits match AND your teamwork does too! Bistro Assistant Jane and Bistro Manager (aka Happiness Coordinator) Amber were accidentally twinning today! For Happy Hour, Jane served up her delicious olive dip with crackers, and Amber brought the booze. Now that’s a perfect pairing! #Montessori #CARD #HappyHour #ServingSmiles #Cheetah

We love our volunteers! Have you ever signed in at our Accushield kiosk when visiting our community? We partner with Accushield to help combat senior loneliness through their Project LoveMeter. This program allows us to see how many social visits our residents receive—and, unfortunately, who may not be getting as much company. These insights help us intentionally match volunteers with residents who could use a little extra connection and companionship. We’re especially excited about Accushield’s partnership with Averitt University’s nursing program! For the next six weeks, nursing students will be spending time with our residents every Wednesday. This week, the students joined our Mary B’s residents for a cozy cookies and cocoa social, sharing laughter and reading fun, captivating stories together. Moments like these make such a difference. Thank you to our volunteers and partners for helping us spread connection, kindness, and love! #ProjectLoveMeter #Volunteers #SeniorLoneliness #Accushield #BickfordSeniorLiving

The cold doesn’t stop us! During today’s scenic drive, volunteer Jan and our Happiness Coordinator treated our residents to warm cups of hot chocolate before we stopped at City Park in Portsmouth to take in the beautiful views—all from the comfort of our heated bus. Cozy moments and happy hearts! #CityPark #Portsmouth #ScenicDrive #Starbies #HotChocolate #StayWarm #BickfordSeniorLiving

Happy hour prep was a team effort in Mary B’s! Steve got things started by filling the cups with ice, and Helen finished strong by pouring the drinks. Purposeful roles, big smiles, and a lot of pride in a job well done! #Montessori #MontessoriMagic #Teamwork #TeamPlayers #HappyHour #Bartender #CARD #BickfordSeniorLiving #ThePowerofWouldYouHelpMe?

Bingo is kind of our thing. Because of our love for Bingo, we take the fun on the road and host it at other communities, too! This week we visited our friends at Cardinal Rehab just down the street, and look at that crowd! Our bingo gatherings keep getting bigger, and we love bringing smiles, laughter, and a little friendly competition wherever we go. #BickfordBingo #CardinalRehab #Community #Montessori #MontessoriDementia

Today our Cooking Club came together to make healthy, no-bake peanut butter protein balls in honor of Wellness Month. Through our Montessori approach, residents are able to reconnect with the joy of cooking and baking—something many of them loved long before moving in with us. Watching familiar routines spark smiles and confidence is truly special. Everyone in our cooking club helped play an important role in caring for our community today. Jane, our wonderful Bistro Assistant, helped with the ingredients, RoseMary helped roll them into bite sized pieces, Brenda swept the floors, and Rosemary cleaned the tables once we finished. Moments like these remind us that purpose, teamwork, and belonging never fade. The love and effort put in today will be enjoyed tomorrow as a healthy Happy Hour snack! #MontessoriatWork #MontessoriMagic #Purpose #Friends #GrandmothersthatBakeTogetherStayTogether #BickfordSeniorLiving #CARD
