Bickford of Chesterfield

June loves to tell the romantic story of how her mother met her father during a trans-Atlantic voyage from Europe to America. June’s mother hailed from Edinburgh, Scotland, and her father from England. June always wished to have traveled to Edinburgh but never had the opportunity. Knowing this, Heather dedicated a morning to “traveling” to Edinburgh, Scotland.  They explored Edinburgh’s rich history through photographs, video, poems, interesting facts, and discussions.  With her mother’s Scottish accent in her mind and sweet memories in her heart, Heather’s hope was for June to feel closer to her mother by “traveling” to Edinburgh without ever leaving her chair.

Dylan went on vacation to the beach and while he was there, collected the seashells he found. He knew that Nancy had moved to Bickford from her home in North Carolina and missed being by the beach. When he returned from his vacation, Dylan took the shells to Nancy's beach themed apartment and gave them to her. He explained how the shells had made him think of her and he wanted to bring them to her because he knew how much he missed her home on the beach.

Bird doesn't like to interact with other residents very often or get involved in many activities. Most of the time she sits alone near the window that overlooks the courtyard. Shawana remembered that Bird loved to read and used to write poetry so she decided to purchase some books she thought Bird would be interested in. Shawana took the books to Bird and asked to sit with her. They started reading the books together. Shawana asked her about the things they were reading and reminiscing with Bird about her life. Every time Shawana works she takes time to sit and read with Bird. Bird loves their special reading time.
