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!

Chocolate Spa Day



The ladies of Juniper Village were treated to an afternoon at the chocolate spa! Fresh cucumber slices and mud masks adorn friends Daisy and Mary. Daisy said "this was the best Mother's Day Gift!" Later in the day, she and Mary could be heard giggling about how their faces were as smooth again as a baby's bottom!


Decadent trays of chocolate treats layered the tavern bar top as soft sounds of nature and calm emanated from the ballroom where massages by Ms. Prettyman were being held.



Students from LTI-Laurel Technical Institute volunteered their time to give manicures and pedicures. The event was so inspiring for the students, that they have expressed interest in returning on a regular basis to pamper the ladies further! A request to which the ladies readily agreed!


The Alive in All Seasons Best Friends program was in full bloom, as Best Friends, Anna and Desiree shared in a precious moment of mud, masks and manicures!



Wellness Intern, Carol, who is sharing her last few days with us, takes time to pat clean Beverly's renewed and pampered skin.
Carol has been interning here at Juniper for the past couple months and her experience with our Alive in All Seasons programs have only inspired her to continue her work in the medical field. She has seen how "the associates do everything they can to make the residents feel special and feel at home." She further feels "this is the most caring place I have ever worked" and personally "Juniper has done more for me in the time I have been here, than my last job did in 5 years!"

The Juniper Culture lives in each and every associate at Juniper Village, and we strive daily to Nurture the Spirit of Life in each individual whose life we touch. Our Residents and Associates have embraced the Juniper Alive in All Seasons culture. A program in which Diane Byrne, VP of program, development, training and operational oversight, nurtured from its creation nearly four years ago. Each year we, as associates, challenge ourselves to take the programming to the next level. Programs like the Chocolate Spa Day, Gardening Project, Veteran's Recognition, Campfire Nights, Tai Chi, Yoga and Sweets for the Soldiers, are all examples of the new programming the Residents of Juniper Village are encouraged to enjoy.
We hope to see you at our Get Fit Fair, Wednesday, May 19th from 2pm to 4pm, to celebrate Fitness Month with us! The community is welcome.
