Down the Rabbit Hole and Into the Halloween Fun!
What a wonderfully whimsical time at Bickford of Virginia Beach! Our 1st Annual Trick or Treat event was a tremendous success, filled with smiles, laughter, creative costumes, sweet treats, and a little Wonderland magic!
Our very own Executive Director Loryn transformed into the Mad Hatter, Family Advocate Heather reigned as the Queen of Hearts, and Montessori Engagement Coordinator Amanda brought the magic of Alice in Wonderland to life! Together, this trio (especially appreciative to MEC Amanda aka “Alice in Wonderland) for helping create an unforgettable event for our residents, families, and community. Also, thank you to our BFMs for helping escort our residents to and from the party, kept candy bowls filled, and joined in the fun. And to Family Advocate Heather’s daughter, Caroline “Mad Hatter”, for volunteering her time to help, as well!
From trick-or-treating to sharing smiles and making sweet memories, it was a day filled with fun, fellowship, and Halloween spirit!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make our first annual event such a magical success. We can't wait to make this a Bickford tradition!

We had such a wonderful time welcoming students from Landstown High School to play seasonal Bingo with us! It was a great time filled with laughter, fun, and meaningful connections. One extra-special moment was when a student was sweet enough to sketch a portrait of Jill and give it to her as a gift. Such a thoughtful and heartfelt gesture that made the visit even more memorable! Thank you to the students from Landstown High School for spending time with us and bringing so much joy to our day. We loved having you and look forward to making more wonderful memories together! Bickford of Virginia Beach Assisted Living and Memory Care

BOO TO THE FLU! At Bickford of Virginia Beach, we gave the flu a fright during our recent flu clinic! Our residents, nursing team, caregivers, and friends from Equilibrio Home Health came together for a day focused on health, wellness, and a little fun! Our amazing caregivers did a fantastic job helping residents make their way to the activity room, while Nurses Tiaqua and Jacky administered flu shots with care and compassion. Our wonderful partners at Equilibrio Home Health were on hand to check everyone’s vital signs, and our residents enjoyed delicious beverages and snacks and goodie bags along the way! A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped make our flu clinic such a success! It’s teamwork like this that makes Bickford such a special place to call home. We’re rolling up our sleeves, looking out for one another, and saying BOO TO THE FLU! Bickford of Virginia Beach Assisted Living and Memory Care
