Welcome to 2015! What a wonderful time for us to reflect on the past year and forge ahead with new beginnings. January is a time for change when we make and sometimes break our New Year’s resolutions and focus on what we want to make better in the coming year.
January is also the month that Juniper Village begins our
Winter Alive In All Seasons theme of Creative Expressions: “Explore Your
Creativity” where in January we will focus on music! Research shows that music
can help us physically by easing pain, helping us sleep better, eat less and
enhance our blood vessel function. It is also suggested that music can help us
mentally by reducing stress, relieving symptoms of depression, elevating mood,
decreasing anxiety and improving cognitive performance. Hospitals are using
music to help cancer patients manage stress and anxiety and to ease recovery in
stroke patients.
Our fabulous activity offerings
this month include our Beat of a
Different Drummer educational and interactive fun program to provide you
with a new sense of how to release stress and tension in your life on January 8th
at 2:00 pm; or our Continuum of Care
educational session to learn how to navigate through our ever changing
healthcare system with a panel of experts onsite to assist you in areas of
insurance, long term care, and legal issues with a complimentary lunch served
on January 17th at noon (RSVP to 814-333-4400 by January 16th)!
Look through our calendar and join us this month as we
explore our creativity through music with outings to local musical
performances, Elvis’ birthday celebrations and concerts by our Joyful Noise
Choirs. We invite you to Welcome New Beginnings at Juniper Village and make a
habit of joining us for activities and events throughout the year!
