The My Life Story is a signature Juniper program that we use to develop individualized programs to meet unique interests and needs. The information we gather spans from childhood , adolescence, young adulthood, middle age through older adult hood. As our Residents were reflecting on all of these seasons of life, the answers Luella got to some of the questions are indicitave of what season the Resident focused on; so unfolded "Words of Wisdom from Juniper Village".
