Veteran's Day at Bickford is a very special day for a hand full of men here. Our LEC, Mindy arranged for our Vets to have a free meal from Applebee's today that included steak, shrimp and bacon cheeseburgers, whatever their heart desired. Our maintenance supervisor, John shared goodie bags that he got from the VA for our veterans.
After a nice lunch, we presented certificates and John pinned each veteran with a flag. The men shared their story of service and we shared how much we appreciate their sacrifice for all of us and our families. It is truly an honor to be in the presence of these men!

What do you do when a family calls needing immediate placement? What else? Put it into high gear, send the nurse to assess and start moving furniture! This is one of the many things we as caregivers do at Bickford. If someone you love needs immediate placement, even for the short term, give Bickford a call! One of our Directing Family Group members will be happy to assist you and discuss Retreat Stay availability.

COVID-19 Transparency
In today’s uncertain times, we understand the concern you may have regarding your loved one’s health and safety. We want to help you with this by addressing the elephant in the room. Your biggest question right now may be, “Has Bickford had a resident test positive for COVID-19 and if so, what are you doing to keep everyone safe?” We feel a responsibility to be straightforward in our approach and that is why we have made this information readily available online. We encourage you to visit our Branch’s website at https://www.bickfordseniorliving.com/branch/bickford-of-muscatine#transparency as it now shows the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases (if any) in our Branch. We understand that meeting the needs of the elderly cannot wait, even in the midst of this global crisis. That is why we are still accepting move-ins. We are caregivers. We were made to carry the burden, even when the burden is great. Whatever it takes.
Looking for work? Bickford’s hiring! If you’re looking for economic relief for your family – this video is for you! The senior living industry is looking for individuals ready to serve, even if it’s only on a temporary basis. There are many roles you can play (i.e. cooking, cleaning, caregiving, fixing) so don’t worry if you don’t have industry experience. Watch this video by Andy Eby (Caregiver/Owner of Bickford Senior Living) to learn more. #WhateverItTakes
Coronavirus Preparedness
Our top priority is to ensure we are doing everything to protect and prevent Coronavirus (COVID-19) in our Branches. The health, welfare and safety of our residents, their family and our Bickford Family Members (staff) is our key focus and intention. Please take a moment to watch this video from Andy Eby, Owner and Family Member as it relates to Bickford's approach to Coronavirus. https://www.bickfordseniorliving.com/coronavirus-preparedness

Today in honor of Mary Bickford we had some ladies come in to play beautiful music! Mary Bickford was an avid harp musician just like these ladies. The residents really enjoyed getting to try to pluck the harp.

A Caregiver's Manifesto
There is no higher calling, no greater purpose than that of a caregiver. Somehow, we’ve come to believe that caregiving is just for some of us and not all of us. Yet at our core, we are all made to love, to connect, to extend ourselves in service of others. The question is ... do we have the will to love, to do what it takes, to risk ourselves in caring, even when the burden is great? In times of happiness, in times of sadness - we are that caregiver. WHATEVER IT TAKES

As the Community Health Coordinator for Life Line Screening, I’m hoping you can help me spread the word about our upcoming health screening in Muscatine.
Life Line Screening is holding a community health event at SS. Mary & Mathias Catholic Church on December 3rd and I was hoping you could share the event to your page.
We provide preventive health screenings to those over 40, to check for risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke.
