June 2015 Events in Naples, FL: Live in Wellness


We close this quarter’s theme of Healthy Aging: “Let Wellbeing Thrive” with a focus on Food, as we Live in Wellness through our June 2015 events in Naples, FL at Juniper Village at Naples. Hippocrates advises, “Let food be thy medicine”. Research shows that eating a well-planned, balanced mix of foods every day has many health benefits such as reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, bone loss, some kinds of cancer, and anemia. But, food has other benefits. There are also emotional needs that are satisfied by food. Most of us have fond memories of food from days gone by. Whether it was our mom's homemade chocolate chip cookies, a hotdog from a street vendor or our wedding cake, food has a way of transporting us back to the past. It is in that spirit that Juniper’s dining program is called the H’art and Soul of Dining. The philosophy is that we impart spirited service, companionship and nourishment through the sharing of good food. In addition to meeting our resident’s unique nutritional needs, we also meet their emotional and social needs as well.

Join us for our June 2015 events in Naples, FL at Juniper Village at Naples to share in our hydration program, complete with healthy snacks and learn more about healthy food and wellness with our dietitian presentations as we continue to Live in Wellness.

Our fabulous June 2015 events in Naples, FL at Juniper Village at Naples include our:

§  Celebrating Dad Family Luncheon with Juniper Village at Naples’ Father’s Day Western BBQ to enjoy some good ol’ BBQ including baked beans, corn bread and coleslaw, so put on your cowboy hat and ride over on June 17th from noon to 1:00 pm. (RSVP to 239-598-1368 by June 11th.)

§  Peanut Butter and Jelly Happy Hour because during the school year, Collier county school district makes sure that every child receives a lunch and doesn’t go hungry, even if they can’t afford it, but during the summer months that doesn’t happen, so bring in jars of peanut butter and jelly to help those in need on June 25th from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm.

We hope to see you at one or more of our June 2015 events in Naples, FL at Juniper Village at Naples!
