There’s never a shortage of friendly conversations and helping hands here. This afternoon, we kept the fun going with our Birthday Bash, followed by our always-popular Happy Hour.

We know it’s not Tuesday—it’s Thursday!—but when Miss Judy wants to read a few stories, we make it happen. This afternoon, we visited our friends in Mary B’s Neighborhood for a special storytime session. There’s something magical about gathering together to hear a good tale, and Miss Judy made it extra special. After storytime, we kept the fun going with a lively game of bingo! It was a beautiful day full of smiles, laughter, and connection. Just the way we like it here at Bickford of Urbandale. #BickfordFamily #MaryBsNeighborhood #StorytimeAndBingo #SeniorLivingJoy
