I would like to share this amazing man on Veteran's Day. Bob has earned many awards and has given so much back in such an unselfish way. We are honored to know him and to know part of his story that is so amazing! Thank you Bob, you are one of a kind!!
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!

Hello Everyone! We are off and running into another week of Covid and we are very proud to say we remain Covid Free! It is a daily task to maintain this with sanitizing three times a day, wearing masks and keeping our social distance. I am super proud of our BFM's and residents for honoring the guidelines, that is what keeps us safe. We pray you all are safe and healthy!!
We are proud to say that Bickford in Muscatine remains Covid Free!! I am very proud of all our BFM's (staff) for caring and doing your best to keep our residents safe, happy and healthy! I believe that our residents are the happiest in town and our scores prove that!! Great job Bickford BFM's!!!
We are proud to say we have been working day in and day out to keep our residents and caregivers safe at Bickford of Muscatine! Our hard work and dedication are paying off.
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
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
Thank you to everyone that came to our family council tonight. We always enjoy seeing and chatting with everyone💚
We are ready for 50’s day!!!
Yesterday we were so pleased to have Matt Barber here and entertain our residents! He did an amazing job and all of the residents really enjoyed his singing!
Happy Veterans Day to all our Special Vets!! Thank you to all that served!!
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.
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
