May is normally a busy month with weddings, graduations, recitals, mother's day and Memorial Weekend!

We encourage you to take the time to stop and smell the fresh air and other wonderful smells Spring has to offer.  We are getting ready to do some planting here at Bickford.  We gear our residents up to plant flowers in the courtyard, vegetables in the courtyard and this year, flowers by our, "soon to be" new sign at the front of the property.  Before we know it, it will be time to pull weeds!

As many of our residents suffer from dementia or alzheimer's disease, we want you to know that there are many resources provided by alz.org that can help at any stage of the disease.  Education, professional advice, statistics, local resources and ways to donate. The Alzheimer's Association's has a 24 hour help line: 800-272-3900. At Bickford, we WANT to help you and your loved one through this journey, don't hesitate to contact us. Darcy Hansen, Director
