Bickford Success Story-
Nancy moved in with us back in February. Her main concern was moving somewhere that would also accept her beloved cat, Lyla. Since moving in with us, Nancy has made so many new friends - both human and furry! One thing about Nancy is that she’s a busy body! So being here at Bickford has allowed her to actively participate in activities and come to three restaurant-style meals a day, while still leaving time for her to go on walks with some of her new best friends. We are so glad that Nancy is part of our family!
Everyone loves the smell of fresh popcorn!
