Bickford of Urbandale

Your loved one deserves to live the best life possible

Watch your loved one thrive in an environment that feels like home

Navigating the aging journey is difficult.

We understand what’s at stake here: it’s not just someone, it’s your loved one.

Meanwhile, it’s on you to make the difficult decisions.

There's a Higher Path for our seniors

Senior care today is reactive, expensive, and siloed. It’s a sick-care system, not a health-care system (designed to keep seniors healthy). Most of us have accepted this status quo because it feels too big and complex to change. Not us. We’re taking the road less traveled and championing a higher standard of senior care.

What a wonderful day at Bickford of Urbandale! It may sound like an unusual combination, but this past week we’ve been honing our cooking skills in our Bickford Bakers class. Today, we enjoyed sampling our delicious white chocolate fudge and homemade pickles. It made for a fantastic snack, and we were so proud of our creations!

What a spooktacular day at Bickford of Urbandale! Since Urbandale post-poned Beggars Night, we invited the wonderful kids from the Yellow Brick Road Preschool for a delightful afternoon of trick-or-treating. The little ones went door to door, and we topped off the fun with snacks and pumpkin painting. We absolutely loved seeing all the adorable costumes! Thank you to everyone who joined us for this festive celebration! #BickfordFun #HalloweenJoy

Today at Bickford of Urbandale, we celebrated National Cat Day! We had a wonderful time cuddling with our furry friends and capturing some adorable moments. Being pet-friendly allows our residents to keep their beloved companions close, which brings countless benefits— from reducing stress and loneliness to enhancing overall well-being. Our pets provide unconditional love and joy, making the transition to assisted living much smoother. Thank you to everyone who joined us in this celebration of our feline friends!

What a fantastic afternoon we had celebrating National Canning Day! We dove into making dill pickles, and it was a wonderful experience for all involved. Canning is not only a fun activity but also offers great benefits for our participants. It encourages fine motor skills and cognitive engagement, helping to spark memories and promote social interaction. Plus, the joy of enjoying a delicious, homemade treat brings a sense of accomplishment and connection to our community. A big thank you to everyone who contributed their ideas and hands-on help. Here’s to more fun and flavorful adventures together!

Just had an incredible evening filled with nostalgia as we dove into the classic chaos of Gremlins! With our movie/popcorn event. The highlight? Snacking on the most irresistible caramel corn! It was the perfect combo of laughter, thrills, and sweet treats! Who else loves a movie night like this?
