These lovely ladies helped me out immensely by chopping up fruit and assembling fruit kabobs. Of course they got to make kabobs for themselves, but the rest were passed out for other residents to enjoy.

Our Friday was FULL of FUN! A neighborhood walk, Homecoming themed big word/little word, and BINGO lead by BFMs Eric and Adriana.

At Bickford Assistant Living and Memory Care of Marshalltown, our nationally recognized approach to help your loved one live happier, healthier, and longer is called the Higher Path senior health model. Here at Bickford, we see something about your situation that other well senior care providers don’t. There are two paths that seniors take as they age the lower path and the higher path. On the Higher Path, our residents receive proactive care services; improving their quality of life so they can live happier, healthier and longer! #higherpath

Make new friends at Bickford Senior Living in Marshalltown! Friendship and purpose give meaning to our residents. It has certainly been our experience in senior living! In fact, many older adults move to a senior living community to meet people of the same age with similar interests. Becoming part of a community gives residents a sense of purpose while promoting physical activity and social participation in life enrichment activities. It’s a win-win. Call us today to visit our lovely community! 641-354-5996 As a matter of fact, stop by for lunch and enjoy a made from scratch meal!

If you stop into Bickford today, you might see an unusual sight! Staff is partaking in a dementia simulation training. This gives us an idea on the sensory overload and confusion that comes along with dementia, so we can take care of your loved ones in the best way and meet them where they are. If you are interested in attending a dementia simulation, please reach out to us. We would love to give you some resources!

There's a whole lot of toe tapping and singing along happening at Bickford today. Thank you Ron for putting on an excellent show for our residents!

You’re never too old to learn something new! Ruth tried her hand at UNO tonight along with BFMs Darlene and Abby.

We try hard to plan a wide variety of fun activities to keep everybody engaged and living their best life- but sometimes, it's nice to slow down and go sit on the porch and watch the cars drive by.

Thank you everybody, for sending in so many beautiful family photos. It has been so fun watching the residents walk around and look at all the photos and show off their grandkids. Don't forget that this Sunday is Grandparent's Day! Celebrate with a visit to see your loved one, a phone call, or even send a letter.

The best way to start the day: walking club!
