Holiday House Fun!

Residents at Juniper Village enjoyed some old fashioned fun by making these gingerbread houses last week!  Traditional M&M's, Pretzels, gumdrops and other gummies were adhered by lots and lots more sugary goodness. The creativity was flowing this month with our annual Holiday door decorating contest too...photos to soon follow as soon as our winner is determined.

Holiday Cheer!

Juniper Village at Meadville residents are really getting into the Holiday Cheer!  This Holiday ribbon project was a creative task that the residents found delightful!  Lois is proud to display her tree.  Celebrate the little things this Holiday season and stop in to our Trees of Christmas in our Ballroom.  Vote on your tree of choice, and their Charity will receive a gift of $100, compliments of Juniper Village.  Cecilia takes pause in front of our beautiful lobby tree.  Anywhere you turn this Holiday, you will see the Joy of the season!  Stop by today, warm up with a cup of coffee and enjoy your visit.

Halloween Celebration

Halloween at Juniper Village in Meadville was a celebration that spanned over a festive week. The holiday began with "Trick or Treat on Chestnut Street". Our residents lined the front patio as well as the front lawn handing out yummy treats. Hundreds of neighborhood children arrived and greeted us with creative costumes and sweet smiles. The residents were overjoyed.

We celebrated Halloween day with a decorative party filled with goodies, apple cider and prizes. Residents were entertained with games that enhanced their knowledge of superstitions, folk lore and the history of Halloween. It was a ghostly time.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving from our Juniper Family to yours!  These cute little turkeys showed up today from one of our Resident Family members.  They brought smiles to our faces and joy as we Cherish the Journey this Autumn season.  Please think of your local food pantry this month and consider donating to the Juniper Village food and coat drive.  Mike Franko, Family member, takes time out to support our efforts to feed the local community.  To date, we have collected nearly 100 pounds and 6 coats.  A great start, but we have 900 pounds to go!  Give thanks this season by giving back.

Memorable Moments!

With the leaves falling, preparing us for the cold winter months, we fondly look back on our days of summer fun. One of our most enjoyable summer adventures was a boat ride on Conneaut Lake. Residents boarded the "Kaylee Belle" and sat back for a peaceful, scenic tour. We couldn't have asked for nicer weather. The day was bright and the
waters sparkled. Residents reminisced about days when they'd taken their own families to the shores of Conneaut Lake. We awed as the jet skiers raced by. It was a perfect day of relaxing and socializing with friends on one of Northwestern Pennsylvania's most treasured lakes.

Wreath Decorating!

Residents welcomed in the fall season by creating personalized wreaths to display on their doors and brighten our hallways. Participants sorted through piles of autumn décor and crafted together a colorful collection of wreaths for all at Juniper to admire.

Fred Trace, melted our hearts with his heart shaped wreath. He
carefully chose from an assortment of bright flowers, gourds and
leaves. The participants marveled at his creation and complimented his newly discovered artistic abilities. We learned that a little bit of hot glue and a lot of imagination goes a long way. All of the residents posed proudly with their wreaths after the activity. They are already asking when we can make them again!

Hometown Heroes

Residents of Juniper Village Senior Living celebrated their Hometown

Heroes! Treats were prepared and deliverd to the Police and Fire
Departments, as well as to the first responders at Meadville Area
Ambulance and the Emergency Department at Meadville Medical Center. The event was intiated to give thanks to our Hometown Heros through the Hometown Heroes program.
