Bickford of Moline

We've had a wonderful day. This morning we had pet therapy, current events, and exercise. This afternoon we had our monthly lima bean auction. The big ticket item was a lovely St. Patrick's Day scarf that garnered 10 beans! A package of sugar-free peanut butter wafer cookies went for 7. We had some big spenders. Everyone left with a treasure of some kind. Always something fun happening at Bickford of Wabash.

Brrr... whats the word, happiness is found at Bickford. While it is chilly out here we welcome you to visit our community and enjoy our atmosphere. As we focus on the month of February and Love is in the air, know that here at Bickford we will warm your heart with how we care. My name is Kayla and I am the Community Relations Director. look forward to meeting you.

Valentine's Day is such a nice time to let our resident's know how special they are to us. The staff made sure each of them received a gift to show them our love and appreciation. We also have a lot of fun making decorations, goodie bags and gifts for any visitors. Scott one of our favorite singers, braved the snowy, cold weather and came to sing for us on Tuesday. Today, Randy and his Gospel Quartet will be here to entertain. The residents enjoy singing along with the old gospel songs. Such a treat!

We had a very special Harp performance for us on our Valentine's day party. The Harp is a very special insturment that we hold near and dear to our hearts. Our very own Mary Bickford played the harp. "Like an angel in heaven, the harp was her voice, the window into her soul- Mary Eby Bickford gave her tremendous gift to the Lord."

Each resident started the day off with a personalized hand written Valentine and box of Chocolate and there was a happy buzz filling the room as residents reminisced their past Valentines with one another. Students from Capital baked cookies for us and brought every resident a handmade Valentine. A few of our residents are married couples and staff put on candle lit dinners for them! What a day!!!

Happy Happy Valentines Day everyone! I just wanted to give an update on our Paint Sip and Share event! It was a huge success and we all had so much fun! We had approx. 40 people total! All the paintings were donated for the Dementia Care Conference. If you or a family member are interested in attending the conference, please contact me at the branch. We would love to have you join us.

Happy Valentine's Day! We've been celebrating all day long. Here are a few pics from our party this afternoon. We enjoyed a few goodies, including sparkling cider and sparkling apple-pear juice. We also opened the valentines we'd collected in our decorated bags. Always something fun happening at Bickford of Wabash.
