Bickford of Quincy

Spring is quickly approaching which will bring our beautiful courtyards into full bloom. Residents are awaiting the colors of the season to replace the winter snows and the warmer weather so they can enjoy the fresh air. Our annual Easter Egg Hunt is scheduled for Saturday, March 30th at 2pm located in our courtyard. Hope to see you there!

Use it or lose it! That is a common phrase we like to joke about with residents in the halls of Bickford. We often tell our residents this to motivate them to continue their daily walks to meals, encourge their participation in our group exercise programs, and to remind them that bodies who are in motion tend to stay in motion. Bickford family members will often make "deals" with residents to ecourage increased mobilty, such as if they walk to the dining room, we will give them a lift back home afterwards, or attending a group exercise program first, then having coffee and cookies after! Please click on the attached link to read about the 4 types of recommended exercises for seniors, which include strengthening, stretching, endurance, and balance, all of which are incorporated in many different types of programs offered at Bickford. Now, get moving, because you know what we say, Use it or lose it!
