July 2017 Events in Naples, FL: Stand In Integrity

Each summer Juniper Village begins our quarterly Alive in All Seasons focus on Staying Connected. We promote staying connected to the community, the environment and each other. In July we shed light on staying connected to our community through volunteerism. Do you know that, as a company, we receive more than 10,000 hours of precious volunteer time each year? We have many volunteers, both human and animal, who contribute to our mission of nurturing the spirit of life. Elizabeth Andrew said it best, “volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.” This month we honor all of the wonderful volunteers who make time to share a bit of their heart with us. We appreciate those who lead groups in our communities; those who share their unique skills and talents with our residents; those who provide friendly visits to our residents and give a reassuring hug or comforting puppy kiss; and the many, many other special people who enhance our lives.

This month as we focus on volunteerism we invite you to find a way that you can make a difference. Whether helping us at Juniper Village or another organization, volunteering has countless emotional and physical health benefits. Volunteering gives a boost not only to those receiving, but to those giving of their time as well.

Review our full calendar and make time to join us for any and all events.

This month we highlight our Ambassador Program and other volunteer opportunities for residents. In addition to volunteer opportunities, we invite you to join us during July for our summer celebrations and share our thanks as we honor those who Stand In Integrity with us.

PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!

The 2^nd Annual Peanut Butter and Jelly Fundraiser was another huge success!- Juniper Village at Naples collected 367 pounds of Peanut Butter & Jelly topping last year’s 302 pounds collected! We couldn’t be more thrilled! 

The generosity of our Community Care Partners and Juniper Village at Naples family members was very heartwarming. All week folks were stopping in with their jars of Peanut Butter & Jelly - and the front lobby looked amazing!

Guests of the afternoon event enjoyed Peanut butter and Jelly inspired appetizers including “sticky chicken wings” and “Peanut Butter and Jelly Bacon sliders” along with the most incredible Peanut butter ball candy - made with love by Steven!

We at Juniper Village at Naples want to thank all those who participated in this wonderful event. As some of you may know, children of Collier County can receive a free lunch at school during the school year - which may be the only meal they have for the day.

Juniper Village at Naples will donate the 214 jars of Peanut Butter and Jelly to St. Matthews house in Naples to help those families in need. 

June 2017 Events in Naples, FL: Live In Wellness

“You are what you eat.” The old adage is now truer than ever. Good health is largely dependent on good nutrition, so much so that doctors trace many physical and emotional ailments back to a diet deficient in vitamins and minerals. Eating a well-balanced diet is a major part of encouraging long life, lowering the incidence of disease, and helping sick people recover. On the flip side, inadequate nutrition and poor quality foods can generally cut life span and open us up to many illnesses and disease. In effect, food is medicine per Webster's definition of medicine: "The science and art dealing with the maintenance of health and the prevention, alleviation, or cure of disease." Food acts as medicine - to maintain, prevent, and treat disease.

With this month’s Alive in All Seasons focus on food, we’d like to give you a prescription for a healthy diet: breakfast daily (do not skip); meals x3 (at least) daily; foods from each of the food groups per meal daily. The food pyramid defines the food groups as grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy and proteins. The amounts vary according to age, sex, height, weight, and physical activity level. Here’s a good guideline to start you on your way. Make half your plate fruits and vegetables. Make half your grains whole grains. Move to low-fat and fat-free dairy. Vary your protein routine and eat and drink the right amount for you.

Join us as we continue our focus on healthy aging by shedding light on our hydration program with healthy snacks and juices, and demonstrate how food and nutrition help us to Live in Wellness from a dietitian’s point of view.

Our fabulous June 2017 events in Naples, FL at Juniper Village at Naples include our:

May 2017 Events in Naples, FL: Grow Strong Daily

Continuing our Spring Alive In All Seasons focus on healthy again, we continue to let wellbeing thrive with a May focus on Fitness. Staying fit throughout all seasons of life is possible and at Juniper we promote fitness every day of the week! We recently shared on our Facebook page a New York Times story, authored by Gretchen Reynolds, providing results from the Mayo Clinic who recently conducted an experiment on the cells of 72 healthy but sedentary men and women who were 30 or younger or older than 64. The volunteers were randomly assigned to a particular exercise regimen. There were some unsurprising differences: The gains in muscle mass and strength were greater for those who exercised only with weights, while interval training had the strongest influence on endurance. But more unexpected results were found in the biopsied muscle cells. It seems as if the decline in the cellular health of muscles associated with aging was “corrected” with exercise, especially if it was intense, says Dr. Sreekumaran Nair, a professor of medicine and an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic and the study’s senior author. In fact, older people’s cells responded in some ways more robustly to intense exercise than the cells of the young did. So pick up those weights, get on that bike and remember it’s never too late to benefit from exercise. And if you’re not doing so already, follow us on social media so you don’t miss a thing.

We invite you to Grow Strong Daily along with us with programs such as Fitness Five and our Route 66 Walking Program. Learn more about fitness and keeping your heart healthy at our Heart Healthy Luncheon and educational presentation. Staying fit throughout all seasons of life is possible.

Our fabulous May 2017 events in Naples, FL at Juniper Village at Naples include our:

Laughing Out Loud

They say laughter is the best medicine, so we decided to invite Lenore Farkas to share her joy with us. She is known as "the woman with the tickle in the middle". Lenore taught us that laughter therapy can bring happiness back into our lives and help relieve the pain; and it's contagious! Everyone enjoyed playing silly games, sang amazing songs, and exercised our internal organs.

Oh what fun we had laughing away!

Celebration of Life

We hosted a celebration in honor of a wonderful woman named Oma. Oma was a woman who ran her own business in the 1920's and rode a motorcycle in her mid-70s. She was always ready to share her laughter, wisdom, and sheer love of life. She lived life to the fullest and raised an amazing family. We would like to shine a light on her granddaughter named who we proudly call our founder - Lynne Katzmann.

Lynne loved her grandmother so much and was so inspired by her love of life. Juniper Communities is a place where Lynne's vision of seniors living in a community honoring the concept of being alive in all season of life truly comes to fruition!

April 2017 Events in Naples, FL: Believe in Yourself

Each April we begin our Healthy Aging Series with a focus on brain health, and encourage you to Believe in Yourself. We know that believing in yourself has a positive effect on your mental health, but did you know that self-confidence influences your physical health as well? Recent studies show people who exhibit self-confidence are generally healthier and tend to live longer. That's because confidence is a positive emotion and positive emotions have countless health benefits for your mind, body and spirit. In nurturing wellbeing by encouraging an active body, an engaged mind and a fulfilled spirit, Juniper is also building self-confidence. The link between health and confidence also may be related to the ability of positive emotions to boost our brain's power to hold attention, be aware and remember things. We are better able to learn, build new skills and relate with others when we are feeling optimistic. Also confident people are better able to handle chaotic situations in a positive manner. This helps to reduce or avoid excessive stress, high blood pressure, anger, confusion – all the negative side effects of feeling powerless, overwhelmed and out of control.

If you need to kick start your confidence, here are a few things to try: smile; count your blessings; surround yourself with confident people; learn how others have found their confidence and follow their lead; challenge negative or inaccurate thinking and replace with accurate, constructive thoughts; and encourage yourself. You can also plan to join us this month for uplifting discussions and a focus on brain health with offerings such as Daily Brain Builders, Wii games, and a Brain Healthy Luncheon.

Our fabulous April 2017 events in Naples, FL at Juniper Village at Naples include our:

§  Family Caregiver Discussion Group with Debbie Fulton of the Alzheimer’s Support Network who will be our guest speaker this month, so join us as we learn how to care for ourselves as the caregivers and learn how to reduce stress and let our wellbeing thrive on April 11^th from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm. (RSVP by April 5^th to Dinelle at 239-598-1368.)

§  Brain Healthy Family Luncheon because we need more than nutrients essential; our human brains, have so much potential; assorted berries, a memory boost; apples protect us, cancers reduced; cherries fight inflammation; dark chocolate boosts our circulation; oysters provide us with plenty of zinc; aging and healing, there is a link; eggs and fish, will build our brains; all these foods, have countless gains; so join us to feed your brain on April 12^th from noon to 1:00 pm. (RSVP by April 5^th to Dinelle at 239-598-1368.)

(RSVP by April 6^th to Dinelle at 239-598-1368.)

Music is the Treasure

On this beautiful day, we found Bill outside on the greens with his one true treasure…his guitar. To Bill nothing could be more satisfying then to sit in the garden playing his favorite tune. Bill is a Florida born and raised resident. His favorite types of tunes to play are country. On the days he isn’t playing a tune, you can be sure to find him in the garden holding tight to his guitar telling stories of the good old days.

Connect4Life Leads to Better Outcomes for Residents

Integrated Care in Seniors Housing that Meets the Triple Aim from Cindy Longfellow

Data shows Connect4Life’s high-tech/high-touch integrated services lead to higher quality care and better outcomes for residents

Executive Summary: Integrated Care in Seniors Housing that Meets
the Triple Aim

By Anne Tumlinson, MMHS and Lynne Katzmann, PhD

According to the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease, more than 190 million Americans, or about 59 percent of the population, are affected by one or more chronic illnesses. Over the next 15 years (between 2016 and 2030,) 80 percent of the United States population will experience one or more chronic conditions, costing more than $42 trillion in medical care spending and losses in employment productivity.

To address these challenges and enhance the resident experience, Juniper Communities, a Bloomfield, NJ-based national owner-operator of seniors housing, developed the Connect4Life model, which provides on-site comprehensive therapy, primary care, pharmacy and lab services, integrated with other services using a “high-tech/high-touch” communications protocol that transfers information through an Electronic Health Record (EHR) and coordinates care through a human navigator.

Juniper Communities retained Anne Tumlinson Innovations (ATI) to compare Connect4Life outcomes and utilization data with data on the broader Medicare population from the 2012 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS). The findings suggest that the Connect4Life model contributes to lower hospital readmissions and the utilization of inpatient services among a high-need resident population. The results affirm the potential of integrating select clinical care and services in a seniors housing environment that provides supportive services to those who have chronic conditions, functional limitations, and complex social needs.

The results suggest an integrated program of services in seniors housing—like Juniper’s Connect4Life —can contribute to reducing the cost of care and services to Medicare beneficiaries residing in seniors housing. More importantly, the data points to the value of the Connect4Life model for managing population health because of its ability to efficiently target integrated care interventions in the high cost, high-need Medicare population.

Juniper Communities has been a thought leader in senior living care, developing nearly a dozen innovative service and delivery programs to enhance aging, lifestyle and resident health. Recognizing opportunities in to meet the triple aim of recent health policy changes in the United States – improved customer satisfaction, evidence-base quality and lower healthcare utilization, Juniper is pioneering Connect 4 Life – one of senior living’s first truly integrated care models of assisted living care and service.

Cottage Updates

We have been very busy lately updating and remodeling our cottage, and we think the results are simply stunning! New appliances, cabinets, counter tops, and back splashes in the kitchen, with new paint and flooring in the main rooms all lead to a remarkably welcoming and warm atmosphere. Stop by for a tour to see the beautiful results for yourself; you won't believe it until you see it.

“Peaceful Art”

Caught in the act on this day… Sal was living with challenging behaviors ~ restlessness and anxiety. When presented with the opportunity to express his feelings, he creatively transitioned to the photo that we now interpret as peaceful art.

Let this be a reminder that in every moment is an opportunity for hidden therapy.

March 2017 Events in Naples, FL: Your Treasure is Within

Theatrical readings, colorful costumed dancers and spectacular vocal performances bring to a close our creative expression quarterly theme with a focus on performance and honoring our inner treasure – our self-worth. With so many demands on our time these days, it’s easy to always put others first and forget to care of ourselves. Also as we get older, retire from work and in some cases caretaking, we may forget our sense of value – our self-worth. A large part of nurturing the spirit of life is providing opportunities for purpose.

This month we will put an even greater focus on identifying our continued purpose and self-worth by performing purposeful activities, reminiscing and creating opportunities to treasure ourselves. Motivational speaker Anne Naylor offers these tips to help you treasure yourself: Treasure your thoughts with kindness – nurture your thoughts of gratitude and appreciation. Treasure your feelings and emotions – observe and use them as your guide. Treasure your body – treat it well with exercise, nourishment, rest, joy and laughter. Treasure your spirit – breathe, meditate and enjoy the goodness in your life. We hope you all enjoy the treasure of your wonderful self.

Please join us as we dramatically embrace performance throughout March with our weekly drama club, outings to live theatrical performances and our Oscar-themed party. Celebrate the Irish culture in grand style with our Saint Patrick’s Day event filled with food, fun and, of course, dancing! Honor yourself and recognize Your Treasure is Within this month at Juniper Village!

Our fabulous March 2017 events in Naples, FL at Juniper Village at Naples include our:

Art Without Boundaries

Wendi Smith, a certified Mneme Therapist, brings Art Without Boundaries to the Naples community. It's an enjoyable, multi-modality process that engages the whole brain and stimulates its natural ability to rebuild lost or undeveloped functions, using a unique combination of singing, movement, directed painting, story-telling and praise. In one-on-one sessions the goal is to help individuals feel good about themselves and what they are able to do to improve their ability to communicate with others.

In this story telling session you can see our 87-year-old resident Pat enjoying her painting session she calls “HAPPINESS”. Pat talks about the memories of setting flowers on the table at home and the beautiful aroma filling the air.  

Juniper Village at Naples Earns “Excellence in Care” Distinction From Alzheimer’s Foundation of America

Juniper Village at Naples has achieved the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s (AFA) “Excellence in Care” distinction, having met the AFA’s rigorous national standards for dementia care settings. This is the fourth consecutive certification for Juniper, an unparalleled feat by most. At present, only two memory care communities have the Excellence in Care designation in Florida. Communities receiving the distinction can be viewed at http://www.excellenceincare.org/care-settings.

Juniper Village’s executive director Maria Ciocca expressed, “Our dedicated team has worked very hard to provide tender loving care to our residents. I am very proud that this is the 4th time that we have received this award. The staff works diligently at ensuring that our residents' experience a pleasant day while making new memories.”

“Juniper Village at Naples truly exemplifies the intent of our Excellence in Care program, to elevate the quality of care for people with dementia,” said Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr., AFA’s president and chief executive officer. “AFA is proud to recognize this organization for providing its clients with optimal care and nurturing their spirits.”

To earn the status of “Excellence in Care, Dementia Care Program of Distinction,” Juniper Village underwent a comprehensive on-site evaluation and consultation by an AFA Excellence Specialist to ensure compliance with AFA’s national standards on care quality and ability to sustain performance. This status is considered the highest hallmark of recognition by AFA for long-term care communities offering services for the memory impaired.

Music & Memory

Juniper Village at Naples implemented Music & Memory in mid-2015 and it has made a magical impact on our community.

Richard’s enjoying his personalized playlist. As you can see by his smile it has brought great joy, relaxation, and fond memories. In another photo, Richard is playing basketball and the melody of the music seems to help improve his focus and balance with the ball allowing him to make more baskets. The amazement on his face is priceless!

Another heart touching story is our resident Thomas. He came to us in 2012 with a love for listening to and creating his own play list, downloading it on to a CD and handing them out. Since then, Thomas is no longer able to create his own CDs, but we don’t let that stop him from being able to listen to his very own play list of music on a personalized iPod provided by Juniper and managed by our Connections Department.

February 2017 Events in Naples, FL: Awaken Your Passion

This month, our focus on creative expression continues with a focus on art. Art, as with beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. It is understandable that some have great artistic ability and others do not. But, at Juniper we know that everyone has a passion for creative expression, regardless of ability or age. Pablo Picasso once said, “All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” He is speaking about becoming inhibited as adults. With our various art programs we encourage uninhibited creativity as a form of therapy. Creating art affords the opportunity of self-exploration and self-expression leading to both physical and mental benefits. Creating art in any of its various forms, is also about sharing a bit of ourselves with each other. Art is one way to express ourselves, and the creations are honest and true representations of our experiences. In sharing our stories through art with others we invite communication and create lasting bonds.

Art typically encompasses painting, sculpting, and drawing. But, the act of creating art can be as simple as doodling. Art is simply the creation of something outside one’s self that often mirrors what is going on within their mind, soul, and body. We use creative arts as a way to nurture the spirit of life. Join us throughout February as we focus on great varieties of art such as photography, needlework, handicrafts, painting, sculpture and more. Please join us as we share a bit of ourselves with our weekly craft classes, experience art on an outing to an art museum, and embrace our celebratory spirit with Mardi Gras and St. Patrick’s Day parties. We look forward to helping you Awaken Your Passion this month!

Our fabulous February 2017 events in Naples, FL at Juniper Village at Naples include our:

§  Art in the Park with Pam as we travel around the world and view the delightfully photographed art by a very special artist who will bring stories to life with her many photographs of adventure on February 8^th at 3:00 pm. (RSVP by February 3^rd to 239-598-1368.)

January 2017 Events in Naples, FL: Welcome New Beginnings

Welcome to 2017! What a wonderful time for us to reflect on the past year and forge ahead with new beginnings. January is a time to begin again; a time when we make (and sometimes break) our New Year’s resolutions and focus on how we want to improve in the coming year.

January is also the month that Juniper Village begins our Winter Alive In All Seasons theme of Creative Expressions: “Explore Your Creativity” where in January we will focus on music! Do you know that research shows that music can help us physically by easing pain, helping us sleep better, eat less and enhance our blood vessel function? It is also suggested that music can help us mentally by reducing stress, relieving symptoms of depression, elevating mood, decreasing anxiety and improving cognitive performance. Because of this, Juniper Communities has adopted the Music & Memory program.

Through the use of MP3 players and headphones our teams download personalized music for each resident. These musical favorites tap deep memories and can bring participants back to life, enabling them to feel like themselves again, to converse, socialize and stay present. Learn more about our Music & Memory program by talking with our Connections Director and consider making a donation to this worthwhile program. We accept donations of new or used iPods, new over the ear headphones and iTunes gift cards.

Join us this month as we explore our creativity through music with outings to local musical performances, Elvis’ birthday celebrations and concerts by our Joyful Noise Choirs. We invite you to Welcome New Beginnings at Juniper Village and make a resolution to join us for activities and events throughout the year!
