Kraynak's outing

For those who are not familiar with Kraynak's, it can be a difficult thing to describe.  Imagine every childhood and creative thought during every season and place all of those images in one building, in several settings, with creatures and flowers and even sparkly glitter.  People of all ages find the whole experience joyful.  Since we are entering Easter season, residents went to Kraynak's and visited Bunny Lane. The photos speak for themselves, every one had such a fun filled time.  Sharlene took great time examining the flowers to come up with some createive ideas for our real raised garden beds this year at Juniper.  They then became "ladies who lunch"...Ladies and Paul, that is!   Angelina, Sharlene, Paul, Hazel and Sophie had a fulfilling time together, staying connected to one of our communities long standing traditions!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's day was full of festive music and old fashioned Irish Fun; Irish Coffee's, Irish Soda bread and Irish Eyes that were smiling!  The beer was green and the laughter abounded.  Irish polkas filled the Laffayette Tavern, and yes, there was dancing!  Luella even donned her lucky leprechaun hair and joined in the fun before her shift!  Barbara danced all the way back to her room and Lou was there, front and center, singing along with each and every word!  We found our Irish "Treasure within" on this very celebratory St. Patrick's Day.

Creative Expression

Even the Occupational Therapist from Interim Health care stopped in to put a seal of approval on this program! But we were just doing it for the fun! Residents gathered in the Shryock Room at Juniper Village to create some beautiful pieces of jewelry and inadvertently they were able to show off some fine motor skills... Maintaining an active body, engaged mind and fulfilled spirit can be done in creative ways.  We strive to find new and appealing ways our residents will enjoy the benefits of staying active through all seasons of life.  Creative Expression is celebrated and is pervasive through all our monthly themes, including this Thursday night at our Annual Night at the Oscars.  We hope you will join us!  The Oscar celebration will begin following dinner.
