We hosted our own rendition of Cinco de Mayo, attempting to break open a piñata, but our residents were largely unsuccessful. Fortunately, the BFM intervened and successfully broke it open, resulting in a shower of candies that captivated the residents as they picked them up. The celebration continued with music, dance, nachos, and salsa, delighting the residents and families who thoroughly enjoyed the festivities. #MontessoriMemoryCareProgram #AssistedLiving#HigherPath #BickfordofCrystalLake
