Friendship and Volunteerism!

Students from Allegheny College recently attended a morning of volunteering at Juniper Village. They met with residents, gave manicures and reminisced. In turn, the residents provided the students with homemade apple butter! The students were delighted to receive the special homemade gifts.  Volunteerism reaches our Residents in many ways, whether it is from a visit by the Students at Allegheny College or Seniors from the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), or a friendly visit from the Pups at PAWS therapy to the Residents themselves participating in a Volunteer opportunity to Nurture their own Spirit of Life!  Volunteerism and Friendship seem to go hand in hand at Juniper Village.  Inquire today about your chance to make a difference in the lives of our Seniors.  We have openings to fit your schedule!  Opportunities include reading, art classes, movie nights, games, reminiscing, Friends and Family Dinners, and many more!  Call Pam Mitchell at 814.333.4400.

Rope Making and Honey Tasting!

friend and fellow resident Angelina

What a way to wrap up Environmental month! We had a guest visitor in to teach us the old fashioned way of making ropes! Making ropes the old way, uses strict manpower, and no fossil fuels...The residents had a wrangling good time!  As a further focus on the environment and local resources Cathy Vorisek, "the Bee Lady" of Backyard Bee Farm gave us the buzz on bees!  Residents enjoyed tasting the local honey and sharing in some sweet time together!

Artistic Expression

The Residents of Juniper Village at Meadville spent time recently creating some beautiful bags. There was no shortage on color and companionship. The ladies were quick to join this environmentally focused activity so that when they go shopping, they will have a fancy reusable bag to place their new treasures in!
