We had an absolute blast at our state park picnic today! We enjoyed good food, beautiful scenery, and lots of laughs with our residents. We even took some time to go bird watching and see what we could spot! It was the perfect day to get outside, enjoy nature, and make some wonderful memories together. We’re already looking forward to our next adventure! #BickfordSeniorLiving #IowaSeniorLiving #ActivitiesMatter #SeniorLiving #MakingMemories

Today we tried out a brand-new game called Cotton Ball Scramble! It was definitely a hit! We had lots of laughs as everyone scrambled to collect the cotton balls, and things got a little competitive along the way! It was so much fun watching everyone get into the game, cheer each other on, and enjoy some friendly competition. Sometimes the simplest games create the biggest smiles! We’re already looking forward to playing Cotton Ball Scramble again! #Bickford #WestDesMoines #IowaSeniorLiving #Activities #ActivitiesMatter

We had some BIG bites in Baking Club today! We made a delicious carrot cake, and we all agreed on one thing… the frosting needed to be MELTED! So that’s exactly what we did! We warmed up that frosting and enjoyed our carrot cake while it was nice and warm. Safe to say, Baking Club was a sweet success! #BakingClub #IowaSeniorLiving #Bickford #WestDesMoines #ActivitiesMatter

Puzzle time in Mary B’s today! Our residents spent some time putting the pieces together, working on their focus, memory, and fine motor skills while enjoying some good conversation along the way. It was a fun and relaxing afternoon! #Bickford #WestDesMoines #IowaSeniorLiving #ActivitiesMatter

Look Good, Feel Good! We had a little nail day back in Mary B’s today! Our residents enjoyed getting pampered, picking out their colors, and showing off their fresh nails. There’s just something about getting your nails done that puts a little extra pep in your step! #IowaSeniorLiving #Bickford #WestDesMoines #ActivitiesMatter

Painting Class Fun! We had such a great turnout for our painting class today with Kayla Edwards! She was absolutely amazing, and our residents had so much fun getting creative and showing off their artistic talents. Everyone did such a great job, and it was a wonderful afternoon filled with creativity, laughter, and a little friendly painting fun! Thank you, Kayla, for spending the morning with us! We can’t wait to do it again! #Bickford #WestDesMoines #IowaSeniorLiving #ActivitiesMatter

A Happy Hour to Remember! Happy Hour was extra special today! We had the sweetest surprise when one of our couples decided to dance together to their wedding song. Even better, they just celebrated their anniversary on August 6th! Watching them share that special moment brought so many smiles to everyone’s faces. It was such a beautiful reminder that love, memories, and dancing never go out of style! Cheers to love, anniversaries, and making special memories together! #Bickford #WestDesMoines #IowaSeniorLiving #Activities #ActivitiesMatter

Ladies Club! Our ladies got creative today with a fun button-painting activity! We used buttons to create colorful artwork while giving those fingers a little workout, too! Activities like this encourage fine motor skills, finger movement, hand strength, and coordination, helping keep those important handwriting and everyday hand functions active. Of course, the best part was seeing everyone’s creativity shine! #LadiesClub #ActivitiesMatter #IowaSeniorLiving #SeniorLiving #CreativeActivities
