A special thank you to David Ambroson, vocalist for making our Mother's Day social extra special!! We look forward to your future performances!

We have some very special individual's that regularly visit us her at our community. Betsy Richter, West Des Moines Library is an extra special one! Each month she visits and does a presentation for our residents. She not only brings her warm, vibrant personality... she teaches, entertains and consistantly gets our residents engaged in fun forms of exercise/ music therapy. Many thanks to her and the West Des Moines Library!!

MEANWHILE IN OUR GARDEN....

A very memorable event happened here most recently! We wish to express many thanks to the Drake Brocals!! They came in by the numbers and lifted us with their amazing harmonies, flowing thru our building!! We could of listened to you all day of course and your performance will always be a special highlight we'll remember here in our community! THANK YOU, BULLDOGS!!!

Everything is in full bloom at our community! The season where our residents enjoy leisurely time admiring the lush greenery and various colors! Those birds singing and little wings fluttering around... not only brings joy to our spirit, but reminds us of another season of renewal! Come visit our courtyards and enjoy a cool beverage with us! See you soon!

The faces say it all! We've been working hard on getting those MAMA'S nails done before their special day! Nail care is a weekly social activity here... it is our time to catch up, to giggle and sit back for some extra TLC! We have no problem showing off our lovely looking hands, in all different shades!

We have several new residents that have joined us here at our community! Along with a new season... it also brings us to new groups gathering and enjoyment in getting to know one another! We welcome all of you and we are excited to learn more about each of you! Miss Georgia and Miss Deanna have not hesitated to jump right into our daily activities!!

Happy Nurse Appreciation Week, Elizabeth! You are so easy to celebrate! Your dedication, passion, love, and commitment are truly unmatched. In your 16 years of service, you’ve cared for countless residents and their families with grace and compassion. You touch the lives of everyone you encounter and leave a lasting impact wherever you go. Bickford is incredibly lucky to have you — and so are all of us who get to work alongside you. Thank you for all you do!

Relaxed and ready to sip some tea; some of our ladies here at our community enjoyed a wonderful afternoon together!
