Bickford of Urbandale

Your loved one deserves to live the best life possible

Watch your loved one thrive in an environment that feels like home

Navigating the aging journey is difficult.

We understand what’s at stake here: it’s not just someone, it’s your loved one.

Meanwhile, it’s on you to make the difficult decisions.

There's a Higher Path for our seniors

Senior care today is reactive, expensive, and siloed. It’s a sick-care system, not a health-care system (designed to keep seniors healthy). Most of us have accepted this status quo because it feels too big and complex to change. Not us. We’re taking the road less traveled and championing a higher standard of senior care.

Oh my goodness, you won't believe the excitement we had this afternoon in our Mary B's neighborhood! We embarked on a thrilling magazine scavenger hunt, and let me tell you, it was an absolute blast! The energy was through the roof as we raced against the clock, flipping through pages and searching for those hidden treasures. And guess what? Our amazing friend Lois emerged as the champion. It was a truly unforgettable experience filled with laughter, friendly competition, and pure joy. Can't wait for our next adventure together!

Hey there, everyone! Today's activity was all about button sorting, and let me tell you, it was a blast! Sorting those colorful buttons not only brought us joy, but it also gave our memories a fantastic workout. It's amazing how activities like these help us sharpen our cognitive skills and keep our minds sharp. Plus, the laughter and camaraderie we shared made it even more special. Can't wait for our next memory-boosting adventure together!

This afternoon was absolutely incredible! We transported ourselves to a Hawaiian cruise, where we indulged in mouthwatering teriyaki meatballs, chips with pineapple salsa, and sipped on refreshing tropical smoothies. All while grooving to the enchanting sounds of Hawaiian music. It was like we were reliving our past cruise memories and reminiscing about trips to Hawaii. What an unforgettable and lovely party it was!

I'm super excited to share our awesome tradition at Bickford of Urbandale! Alongside our daily exercise routine, we've implemented a special club called Bickford Bakers. It's all about treating ourselves once a week with some delicious homemade goodies. Today, we whipped up a batch of mouthwatering chocolate chip cookies, and let me tell you, they were absolutely divine! The aroma filled the air, and the taste was pure bliss. Can't wait for our next baking adventure!

Let me tell you, exercise is absolutely crucial for us at our age.

We're all about staying active and living our best lives. Let's keep rocking those workouts together!

    I have a fob to open the front door. It hardly ever works so the staff has to stop what they are doing to come help. Nice workers.! But it takes them away from their work.

    Thank you for your kindness and support in moving my Dad to Mary Bs. It's hard to accept he belongs there sometimes but just a very tough disease he has. Appreciate the reassurance. Love all the FB pictures and your new motto "whatever it takes". It's so nice to see the connections being made.
