Adventure Under the Sea! Today our residents from Bickford Assisted Living joined friends from our Mary B community for a special trip to the Greater Cleveland Aquarium. It was a day filled with discovery, laughter, and plenty of “wow” moments. From the moment they walked in, residents were captivated by the colorful fish and unique aquatic displays. Many enjoyed the chance to reach out and try to touch the stingrays, an experience that brought smiles and lots of conversation. A scuba diver gave a fascinating talk about the animals, sharing fun facts and answering questions, which made the visit even more interactive. The absolute favorite part of the day was stepping into the overhead shark tunnel. Surrounded by sharks gliding gracefully above and around them, residents were amazed by the close‑up view of these incredible creatures. The tunnel sparked excitement, with many saying it felt like they were truly under the sea. Outings like this remind us how meaningful shared experiences can be. Our residents not only enjoyed the wonders of the aquarium but also the joy of spending time together, creating memories that will be talked about for weeks to come. #BickfordAssistedLiving #MemoryCare #Moments #SeniorCompanionship #HealthAndHealing

A huge thank you to the Rocky River Public Library for joining us today at Bickford Assisted Living! Our residents had such a wonderful time creating festive Christmas cards together. The joy and laughter filled the room as creativity flowed, and some residents even made special cards to gift their favorite staff members. We are so grateful for the library’s kindness and for helping us spread holiday cheer. Moments like these remind us of the true spirit of the season—community, connection, and joy. #BickfordAssistedLiving #RockyRiverPublicLibrary #HolidayCheer #CommunityTogether #ChristmasJoy

The Great Bickford Beautification! What a joyful day here at Bickford Assisted Living & Memory Care! Our amazing residents rolled up their sleeves, tapped into their creativity, and transformed our home into a festive wonderland. From trimming the trees to adding cheerful touches throughout the facility, every decoration was placed with love and laughter. The energy was contagious — smiles filled the room, holiday music played in the background, and everyone joined together in the spirit of the season. It wasn’t just about the decorations; it was about the sense of togetherness, teamwork, and holiday cheer that made the day so special. We are so proud of our residents for making Bickford shine brighter than ever. Their joy reminds us all that the holidays are best celebrated side by side, with friends, family, and community. #BickfordFamily #HolidaySpirit #TogetherWeShine #GreatBickfordBeautification #SeniorCompanionship #HealthAndHealing

On this chilly day, we stayed cozy indoors and tried something new together, Rack-O! Many of us learned a game that was brand‑new, and while we’re still figuring out the rules, the laughter and smiles made it all worthwhile. At Bickford, it’s not just about learning—it’s about enjoying the journey, sharing moments, and having fun along the way. #BickfordAssistedLiving #RockyRiver #assistedliving #activityprofessionals

Sweet Success in the Kitchen! Today at Bickford Assisted Living & Memory Care, we rolled up our sleeves and baked ginger cranberry jam cookies together. Halfway through, our recipe gave us a little challenge—but thanks to the quick thinking of one of our amazing residents, we turned it around and saved the day! The result? A tray of wonderfully fragrant, festive cookies that tasted even sweeter because they were made with teamwork, creativity, and a dash of resilience. Life (and baking) may not always go according to plan, but with friends by your side, there’s always a way to make something beautiful. #BickfordFamily #Teamwork #AssistedLiving

Fun & Games at Bickford! What a joyful day we had across our community! Over on Assisted Living, we gathered for one of our favorite traditions—Bingo! We were thrilled to welcome new residents into the game, and it was wonderful to see everyone laughing, cheering, and enjoying the friendly competition. Meanwhile, over on Mary B’s, things got hilariously festive with Shoot the Turkey! Our “happiness coordinator” dressed as a turkey while our ladies took aim with Nerf guns, tossed baseballs, and even threw rubber ducks to knock that turkey down. The room was filled with laughter from start to finish, and we’re already looking forward to the next round! At Bickford, every day is about creating joy, building connections, and making memories together. #BickfordAssistedLivingandMemoryCare #dementia #assistedliving #activityprofessionals #recreationaltherapists #assistedliving #SeniorCompanionship #HealthAndHealing

Today in our Mary B Neighborhood at Bickford Senior Living & Memory Care, we rolled up our sleeves and made delicious no-yeast bread rolls together! As the aroma filled the room, it sparked beautiful memories. Our ladies shared stories of the breads they used to bake, and one resident fondly recalled how her mother baked all kinds of bread—her favorite being Italian bread.

Golden Years, Golden Leaves Today at Bickford Assisted Living & Memory Care, we celebrated our wonderful November birthdays! Cupcakes, laughter, and a lively round of trivia made the afternoon extra special. One of our shyer ladies truly shined today by stepping up to help read out trivia questions. Her confidence brought smiles not only to my face, but to everyone in the room. Moments like these remind us how beautiful it is to see friendships, courage, and joy blossom in our community. Here’s to golden years filled with golden memories! #engagement #memorycare #assistedliving #activityprofessionals #DementiaSupport #LoveAndCare #ElderlyCare #BickfordAssistedLiving #NovemberFun

What a Wonderful Day at Bickford! Today was filled with joy and smiles! We had a special visit from the Friendship APL, who brought along two sweet dogs, Micah and Beverly.
