What a festive day full of joy and togetherness! Recently, our residents kicked things off by getting creative with gingerbread house making on National Gingerbread House Day, filling the room with laughter (and a little frosting!). Aviana & Bob had a grand time while Jess & Jo teamed up to put their creative style to work. Christina & Dottie had so much fun adding some festive goodies to their house! We then gathered for a friendly game of bingo, followed by a heartwarming visit from some volunteer carolers who truly brought the holiday spirit to life. We wrapped up the celebration with wonderful live music by Lou, ending the day on a joyful, toe-tapping note. Days like this remind us how special this season is when shared with community, music, and smiles.

Why Communication with Seniors Matters: A Loved One’s and Nurse Prospective As a nurse and loved one of a senior, I’ve learned that communication is one of the most important parts of their care. It’s not just about sharing information—it’s about making sure they feel valued, understood, and respected during a stage of life that can often feel overwhelming or isolating. When nurses and caregivers take the time to truly listen, it brings comfort not only to the senior but to their family as well. Clear, patient communication helps us trust that our loved one’s needs are being recognized, whether it’s a change in their health, concerns about pain, or simply how they’re feeling that day. It reassures us that nothing is being overlooked. Good communication also preserves dignity. Speaking directly to seniors, explaining procedures in a way they can understand, and showing patience when they need extra time makes a world of difference. Those small moments of kindness help reduce fear and confusion and remind them that their voice still matters. As family members, we may not always be there, but knowing that nurses communicate with compassion gives us peace of mind. It strengthens the partnership between caregivers, seniors, and families—and most importantly, it helps our loved ones feel safe, supported, and cared for every day. Thank you for choosing Bickford to care about and care for your loved ones.

Winter Games at Assisted Living! Today’s activities brought out so many smiles as our residents jumped into a trio of holiday-themed games! We kicked things off with a Snowball Shovel Race, where everyone showed off impressive speed and balance. Then we kept the fun rolling with a lively round of Pass the Snowballs, filled with laughter and friendly competition. To top it all off, we played Christmas Balloon Tic Tac Toe—a cheerful twist on a classic favorite that had the whole room cheering each other on. Nothing warms a winter day like joy, teamwork, and a little playful holiday spirit. #WinterFun #HolidayActivities #AssistedLivingLife #MakingMemories

Celebrating Giving Tuesday in the Best Way! Our community spent the afternoon creating Giving Baskets to support those in need. From gathering supplies to assembling and decorating each basket, our residents were all smiles knowing their efforts will bring comfort to others. These moments of connection and purpose are what Giving Tuesday is all about—coming together, lifting each other up, and spreading kindness far beyond our walls. We were able to gift a basket to the Scott County Humane Society, The Center, and Family Resources. We are so proud of everyone who helped make today special!
