At Bickford of West Lansing, we are incredibly proud to recognize Carol for her determination, perseverance, and commitment to her Higher Path journey. When Carol first came to us, she required the assistance of a mechanical lift. Through her hard work, positive attitude, and dedication to improving her strength and independence, she has made remarkable progress. Today, with the support of Fox Therapy, Carol is now walking with a walker and continues to reach new milestones. Carol's journey is a wonderful example of courage, resilience, and determination. Her progress inspires both residents and staff every day and reminds us that incredible accomplishments are possible through persistence and hard work. Congratulations, Carol, on this amazing achievement! We are so proud of you and look forward to celebrating many more successes on your Higher Path journey.

Carol is working with physical therapy to improve strength in her legs. She is actively practicing lifting and moving her leg over a bar to increase lower extremity strength, mobility, and functional movement. Her goal is to walk again, and she continues to work hard toward achieving that milestone. We are so proud of how far she has come, and her progress is truly remarkable. Carol demonstrates determination, resilience, and a positive attitude during therapy sessions, and it has been inspiring to watch her gain strength and confidence as she moves closer to her goal.

A huge Thank You to our resident, Pat and Maintenance Coordinator Mason, for helping put up our new yard signs! We're currently Accepting New Residents, offering Walk-in Tours, and we're Pet-Friendly too!
