we are committed

At Juniper we are committed to nurturing the spirit of life in each individual we serve so that they may live fully throughout all seasons of life. To us this means understanding an individual, not only their needs but their desires and responding with programs and services which provide for the highest quality of life possible. Our Alive in All Seasons program of activities is designed to foster healthy bodies, enriched minds and fulfilled spirits. These pictures and stories are living proof that we at Juniper are dedicated to walking our talk!

We've been clowning around the cottages!

Our residents delighted in the antics of Joey's Clowns in late January. Here, Joey cleans himself off after taking a pie in his face. Joey and his entourage of 9 clowns clodhoppered and twinkle-toed from cottage to cottage eliciting smiles and laughter along the way.  In tune with our first quarter's Alive in all Seasons theme of exploring creative expression, Joey's Clowns provided antics, mimes, and music while engaging our residents.

Residents in all cottages enjoyed the
entertainment ~ including Terri L.

Some of Joey's clowns brought their very low-maintenance "pets" to delight and entertain residents like Gusti L.  Juniper Village is blessed with amazing volunteers like  Lil Brownie (R).

A Special Visit From Santa

Santa, aka Angel Morenga, Environmental Services Director, and his elf, Julie B., Connections Director, distributed gifts donated to our residents by our friends at Home Instead Senior Care through their Be A Santa to a Senior program. Every one of our residents received three gifts that had been put on Santa's wish list especially for them by Julie B. We all enjoyed goodies and drinks from our Juniper kitchen courtesy of Steven;  A great time was had by all! Many thanks to our kind and generous friends who helped us Celebrate the Little Things by supporting the Be A Santa to a Senior program.
