A snapshot of some random Wednesday fun at Juniper Village at Meadville! What else do you do when
“Rockin’ Around the Clock” starts to play, but get up and boogie? Resident Barbara Young and associate Amanda
Miller did just this! It’s those little
times of fun and interaction that can make anyone’s day!

Honoring Our WWII & Korean War Veteran’s
Memorial Day was extra special this year for WWII and Korean
Veteran’s at Juniper Village. Art Price, Eugene Kline, Ralph Hagen, Richard
Lord and Sylvester (Dudley) Schall, all received recognition as participants in
the Meadville Memorial Day Parade. While riding the parade route, in vintage
army vehicles, the crowds waved American flags and shouted “Thank you for your
service”. With tear filled eyes and smiling faces Juniper Village Veteran’s
proudly returned many waves to the crowd.
A special recognition was given to our resident, Dudley
Schall. Although his service ended decades ago, he has served veterans by his
participation in the Meadville Area Memorial Day Observance Committee. Being
one of the original members, he has served proudly as its treasurer for many
years and recently was named “Treasurer Emeritus”.
After arrival at the gazebo in Diamond Park, the crowd
enjoyed music by Andrew Sister’s look-a-likes, complete with vintage hairstyles
& outfits. The Gettysburg Address and Flanders Fields were read by the
Governor & Lt. Governor of Meadville High School student body. Patriotic
songs were played by Meadville High School band and the guest speaker was U.S.
Army General Mark A. Bellini.
Much honor and thanks are given not only to those men that
were in the parade, but to each and everyone that served our country.

June 2015 Events in Meadville, PA: Live in Wellness
We close this quarter’s theme of Healthy Aging: “Let
Wellbeing Thrive” with a focus on Food, as we Live in Wellness through our June
2015 events in Meadville, PA at Juniper Village at Meadville. Hippocrates
advises, “Let food be thy medicine”. Research shows that eating a well-planned,
balanced mix of foods every day has many health benefits such as reducing the
risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, bone loss, some kinds of
cancer, and anemia. But, food has other benefits. There are also emotional
needs that are satisfied by food. Most of us have fond memories of food from
days gone by. Whether it was our mom's homemade chocolate chip cookies, a
hotdog from a street vendor or our wedding cake, food has a way of transporting
us back to the past. It is in that spirit that Juniper’s dining program is
called the H’art and Soul of Dining. The philosophy is that we impart spirited
service, companionship and nourishment through the sharing of good food. In
addition to meeting our resident’s unique nutritional needs, we also meet their
emotional and social needs as well.
Join us for our June 2015 events in Meadville, PA at Juniper
Village at Meadville to share in our hydration program, complete with healthy
snacks and learn more about healthy food and wellness with our dietitian
presentations as we continue to Live in Wellness.
