We are delighted to introduce Kari Herman as the new Health and Wellness Cooordinator for Bickford of Midland. Kari is an experienced nurse who has spent several years at Seasons here in Midland where she supported seniors and their families. Her true passion lies in Memory Care and we are excited to have her as part of our Mary B‘s neighborhood and Montessori for Memory Care program. For Kari, wellness is more than physical health – – it’s about living with purpose at every stage of life‘s journey. Whether someone is enjoying vibrant independence, needs a little extra support, or is navigating memory loss, Kari believes that each day is an opportunity for meaningful living. We are excited for the compassion, expertise, and energy she brings to our community. With having Kari as part of our Health and Wellness team, our residents and their families can feel confident, knowing they are supported by someone who truly understands both of the science of care and the heart of caregiving. Please join us and giving Kari a warm welcome – – we are so grateful to have her. # #HigherPath #MontessoriForMemoryCare #BickfordOfMidland #BickfordSeniorLiving #MidlandAssistedLiving

More than just a snack – – a Montessori moment in Mary B’s. In our Mary‘s neighborhood, even something as simple as watermelon becomes a joyful, purposeful experience. Instead of just serving, Lynne and Carolyn a slice, we invited them to be part of the whole process: choosing the melon, helping rinse it, arranging the slices and then sharing the sweet reward with their friends. This is the heart of Montessori for memory care – – creating opportunities for residence to engage, contribute, and connect. Every step fosters independence, sparks memories, and makes life feel meaningful. Because here, it’s not just about care. It’s about purposeful living, dignity, and joy in every moment. Come see how Montessori for memory care makes a difference – – schedule your tour today by calling 989-373-7394. #MontessoriForMemoryCare #BickfordOfMidland #BickfordSeniorLiving #MidlandAssistedLiving

Puppies, puppies, puppies! Today at Bickford of midland, we had six adorable corgi puppies spreading joy and tail wags. Our residents loved every snuggle, and the pups seemed to enjoy the visit just as much! #PuppyTherapy #BickfordMoments #SeniorSmiles #FurryFriends

Today's taste test at Bickford of midland was all about popcorn! We tried White Cheddar and Doritos Nacho Cheese. Both were fun and flavorful, but each had it's own vibe- White Cheddar was smooth and classic, while Doritos brought that bold, tangy kick. Such a tasty twist on a snack favorite! #Popcornlove #SnackAttack #Tastetest #Foodiefun

At Bickford of Midland today was a little different, instead of baking or stirring, we pulled out the ice cubes and coffee. It felt new and fun, yet somehow still part of the tradition-just in a cup in stead of a warm plate. Sometimes the sweetest memories are made when we try something a little different. #GrandmaKitchen #FamilyTradition #HomeMadeWithLove #FoodAndFamily

Today we’re feeling just peachy at Bickford of Midland! Our team came together to celebrate National Peach Day and the smiles were as bright as the summer sun. Jasmine and Shelby, two of our wonderful BFM‘s are picking their favorite peach treats, a basket full of goodies. At Bickford, we love finding little ways to bring joy and togetherness to our days. Whether it’s celebrating a quirky holiday, sharing sweet treats, or simply laughing together, it’s the small moments that create a bigger sense of family. So here’s to peaches, to friendship, and to the amazing team that makes life at Bickford so special. We think that’s pretty sweet!

At Bickford, we believe life is sweeter with a wagging tail and a wet nose. This National Dog Day our branch was filled with joy as we welcomed the cutest corgi/poodle puppies for a day of play, cuddles, and unconditional love. But the celebration doesn’t end there. At Bickford, we know how important pets are to our residents, which is why we welcome them as part of the family. From daily walks to feeding and care, our team helps provide support so residents and their furry friends can stay together because moving to assisted living should never mean saying goodbye to the ones you love the most. At Bickford, we don’t just care for people – – we care for their pets too. After all, it’s those little paws and big hearts that make a house a home. Want to see love in action?

Today we extend a heartfelt thank you (and a goodie bag of snacks) to Brandon, our maintenance coordinator from our Battle Creek branch, for stopping in and lending his time and talents to support our branch. Brandon brought not only his skills but his positive energy, and made such a difference in our day. His willingness to step in, roll up his sleeves, and work alongside our team reminds us that we are all stronger together. Moments like this truly showcase the spirit of teamwork, when one branch needs a hand, another steps up without hesitation. That’s what makes our communities so special. As the saying goes, “teamwork makes the dream work,” and today we are a shining example of that. Thank you, Brandon, for everything you did to support us. We are so grateful for you. #bickfordofmidland #AssistedLiving #MidlandAssisted-living #MontessoriForMemoryCare #TheHigherPath #Bickfordofbattlecreek
