We love it when our residents want to assist housekeeping folding the towels or when our veterans see that our table clothes are placed spot on on the tables. The residents love to make sure their home is always "ready for company".

Introducing Our Care Concierge Program: Personalized Healthcare Where You Live At Bickford, we believe senior living should feel like home—safe, supportive, and connected. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our Care Concierge Program, designed to bridge the gap between housing and healthcare for our residents. What is Care Concierge? It’s a proactive, personalized approach to care that ensures your loved one receives the right support at the right time—without the stress of navigating multiple providers or unnecessary hospital visits. Our Care Concierge acts as a central point of contact, keeping doctors, specialists, and caregivers aligned so families have peace of mind. Here’s what makes this program special: · Personalized Care Plans tailored to each resident’s unique needs. · Medication Management & Health Monitoring to reduce risks and improve outcomes. · Seamless Coordination with primary care physicians, specialists, and behavioral health professionals. · Dementia Care Navigation & Emotional Support for residents and families. · Quick Response in Urgent Situations with access to on-site labs, imaging, and equipment. Why Families Love It: · Fewer ER visits and hospital stays. Real-time communication and updates. A trusted partner who knows your loved one and advocates for their health. This program isn’t just about healthcare—it’s about restoring joy in daily living, reducing stress for families, and helping residents thrive. Ready to learn more or enroll? It’s simple! Just ask to speak with Naomi and let her know you’d like to be enrolled in the Care Concierge Program. She’ll take care of the rest—making the process quick and stress-free. #higherpath #AssistedLiving #MemoryCare #BickfordSeniorLiving #Bickford #Seniors

Our residents had a wonderful time making our New Year's Eve favors and then celebrating the new year at our Happy Hour. The favors looked great and everyone had a wonderful time. On behalf of the Residents and the Bickford Family Members we want to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy 2026!!!

Exercise is an important start to the day at Bickford of St. Charles. Chair exercises are just as good as standing exercises. These residents can prove that.

As we look back on this Christmas, the families and residents of Bickford of St. Charles had a wonderful holiday. There were many activities in December in both AL and Mary B's to celebrate Christmas. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!!

As we celebrate the Christmas season, we’re reminded just how meaningful this time of year is for the older adults in our community. The holidays aren’t just festive decorations and familiar songs — they’re powerful connections to memories, traditions, and the people who shaped their lives. For many seniors, especially those experiencing cognitive changes, holiday traditions can spark joy, comfort, and recognition. The music, the lights, the scents, the stories — they all help bring long‑term memories to the surface and create moments of connection that truly matter. The season also brings something just as important: togetherness. Loneliness is one of the biggest challenges older adults face, and the holidays give us a chance to surround them with warmth, companionship, and meaningful engagement. Whether it’s sharing a meal, singing a carol, reminiscing about childhood traditions, or simply sitting together with a cup of cocoa — these moments support emotional well‑being, reduce isolation, and remind our residents that they are valued and loved. This Christmas, we’re grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside our residents, honor their stories, and create new moments of joy together. From our family to yours, Merry Christmas and thank you for helping us make this season bright for every resident we serve. #higherpath #AssistedLiving #MemoryCare #BickfordSeniorLiving #Bickfordof St.Charles #Bickford #Dementia #Seniors

The Christmas season is a joyful one. The residents always love the gift of music, especially in the voices of Christmas Carolers bringing Christmas Cheer. The residents have had the joy of several groups coming to carol for both AL and Mary B's. Thank you to the St. Charles North Alum friends, Baker Methodist Church Choir and the two girl scout troops that came to share their holiday spirit and beautiful voices with the residents. Happy Holidays to all!!

There are times when activities can be one-to-one with a resident. When a resident wanted to build a gingerbread house we made it happen. She did a beautiful job!

It's always a wonderful joy to have a visit from the local Girl Scout Troops. Our guest troop came and serenaded us with some Christmas Carols. They also had some crafts ready to help our residents completed. Everyone had such a wonderful time. It was a great evening.

It's always fun to go for a ride to look at the Christmas lights. Everyone must have their ticket to ride in order to enjoy the fun. We had a different group each night and both nights had a wonderful time.
