Staying Healthy during Flu season.
Our bell choir has been playing all year and practicing for their Christmas program this month. Family and friends are invited to stop by the house on December 12th for a 10:00 performance by our own Bickford
Bell choir. If you haven't heard them, they are pretty good!
We will be having treats after the performance so make sure you stop by and get in the holiday spirit.

The cold weather has arrived which means the cold and flu season is upon us full force. We just want to share some tips on how to help yourself stay healthy. The number one tip is to wash your hands. When you come back to your room from being in the community areas such as the living room, before a meal, or after playing Bingo make sure you wash your hands. When you do wash, make sure you wash for at least 20 seconds,
when you turn off the water, make sure you use a paper towel to turn it off.
If you don't have water the next best thing is hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol in it.
Cover your mouth with a tissue when you sneeze. Then put the used tissue in the garbage, not on the table. Please do not use the cloth napkins at the dining room table.
If you are not feeling well, please stay in your apartment and encourage your loved one to do the same.
