John joined our Bickford family in April. When he first arrived, he used a wheelchair that he could not maneuver on his own due to being legally blind. His family shared that he preferred to stay in his room, quietly listening to his radio and keeping to himself.
Since then, John's transformation has been truly inspiring. With the encouragement of our health care team, the dedication of PT, OT, & speech therapies, and the kindness of our staff and residents who welcomed him with open arms, John discovered his strengths and gained confidence through repetition & support.
Today, John is thriving! He now walks independently with a walker and navigates the building using bright reflective tape markers on his mailbox and at hallway corners. While he still enjoys his radio, he especially loves listening to live music alongside his new friends.
We're so proud of John and grateful to witness his journey of growth, resilience, and connection here at Bickford of Tinley Park.

We are walking with heart! This weekend we laced up our sneakers for the Walk to End Alzheimers Walk-A-Thon in Tinley Park. We are so proud to have four very special participants join us: Stella, Dolores, Darla, and George! Every step we took was a step toward a future without Alzheimer's. Seeing our residents participate reminded us exactly why we do what we do- to cherish every moment and fight for better tomorrows.

What's in a name? Everything. In our Montessori- Inspired community here at Bickford of Tinley Park knowing one another by name isn't just a courtesy- its the foundation of connection. It's how we build deep respect, foster a true sense of belonging and honor the individual within our collective family. It's about seeing the person, not just the resident. Pictured here are a few of our beloved community members who's names are essential to their identity and our relationships. In our Montessori environment, the practice of wearing names tags help our residents forge genuine connections, turning neighbors into friends.

We loved having Mary Lou and Jeanne join our Assisted Living residents Alice, Doris, Darla and Mary Jo for a fun filled baking class. What could be better? Today our Grandma's Recipes Baking club had fun making everything from scratch, shared skills, stories and a few laughs. Alice passed out the apple pies to our residents today. Looking forward to our next class soon.
