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.

Had an amazing time today in Mary B's neighborhood! We danced up a storm and enjoyed a delicious spread of fresh fruits, including grapefruits and oranges. Here's to more days of dancing, delicious snacks, and great company!

Had a blast shopping at Hy-Vee today! We bumped into these two gems, our very own super stars here at Bickford, Sanja and Mary, and ended up having so much fun navigating the aisles together. Nothing like a helpful smile and a little goofiness to make grocery shopping a highlight of the day! #ShoppingAdventures #HyVeeFun

Today at Bickford of Urbandale, we were delighted to welcome Jeanne, who shared her wonderful gift of singing and massage with our community. Music and massage are more than just treats; they're incredibly beneficial as we age. Music has a unique ability to evoke memories, reduce stress, and uplift spirits, promoting emotional well-being and cognitive function. It fosters social connections and encourages engagement, creating a joyful atmosphere for all. Similarly, massage therapy offers numerous health benefits for seniors, including improved circulation, pain relief, and relaxation. It enhances flexibility and mobility, contributing to overall physical comfort and well-being. Jeanne's visit today was a reminder of how enriching and therapeutic these experiences can be. We're grateful for her time and talents, which brought smiles and relaxation to our residents. Thank you, Jeanne, for sharing your music and massage with us!

What a wonderful morning we had here at Bickford of Urbandale! Our Bickford Bakers outdid themselves with some scrumptious 5-chip cookies. Alaina led our wonderful bakers in this class, and the smiles on everyone's faces were priceless. They literally turned out perfect! #BickfordOfUrbandale #BickfordBakers #ScrumptiousCookies

What an amazing day in Mary B's neighborhood! We dove into our picture puzzles with enthusiasm, savoring every piece and sip of homemade lemonade. Laughter filled the air as we pieced together memories and shared stories from the good ol' days. It was an absolute delight to see everyone having such a fantastic time together! Cheers to more puzzle-solving adventures and cherished moments ahead!

Embracing the tranquility of a blessed morning with our dear friend, Bob the Chaplain. Today, amidst the serene confines of MaryB's neighborhood, we gathered in one of our cherished courtyards for a profound session of Bible study. The gentle breeze at 72 degrees offered us a refreshing respite, a reminder of divine grace in the simplicity of nature. Grateful for these moments of spiritual enrichment and fellowship.

Yesterday evening was amazing! After dinner, we headed down to Bennegins for their Wednesday evening car show and had a blast. It was incredible seeing all those classic cars - we were in awe
