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

Tuesday Afternoon Delight at Mary B’s! There’s nothing better than a cozy afternoon filled with good stories and great company! This Tuesday in our Mary B’s neighborhood, we gathered for a peaceful reading time — and to make it even sweeter, Judy and I brought along some freshly baked chocolate fudge cookies and ice-cold sodas. The smiles were as warm as the cookies, and the laughter reminded us why these moments matter so much. #BickfordOfUrbandale #MaryBsNeighborhood #AfternoonJoy #SweetMoments #SeniorLivingWithLove

Manicure Mondays at Bickford of Urbandale! Every other Monday at 10am, we treat ourselves to a little pampering, because nothing lifts the spirit like freshly polished nails and a little TLC. Here’s our lovely friend Norma showing off her new nail color, which just so happens to perfectly match her blouse today! Coincidence? We think not, just great style. Whether it’s a bold pop of color or a subtle shimmer, we always leave feeling a little brighter and a lot more polished. #ManicureMonday #BickfordOfUrbandale #SeniorLivingStyle #FeelingGoodLookingGreat

At Bickford of Urbandale, we truly have one of the best communities around. Our friends care for one another like family. While Dean stepped out to run a few errands, we enjoyed a little impromptu "Creativity with Ceila" time and treated her to a relaxing nail session. When Dean returned, he was so grateful to see her smiling and pampered! Barb and Jean couldn't resist joining in on the fun too. Later on, we caught a sweet moment where Barb was showing Ceila how her walker works. Just another example of the kindness and support we see every day. It’s these small, meaningful moments that make life at Bickford so special. Want to see the heart of our community in person?
