The Old-Newlywed Game

What could these folks possibly be doing? The lobby was in stitches as 2 of our married couples played along in the Old-Newlywed Game!

They were asked questions which threw them back to memories past. The faces and reactions were priceless!  Instead of the beloved Newlywed game, this is the Old-Newlywed game!  Just to see how well 2 of our married couples know eachother after all these years!

Oh! The Places You'll Go!

Students from Seton School walked down today to celebrate the Birthday of Dr. Seuss! According to experts, we hear he is turning 108 today! Jennifer Musone, administrator, read the book "Oh! The Places You'll Go!" to kick off the festivities. In celebration, the students wore hats and read to the residents from some of their own favorite Dr.Seuss books. One resident, Sharlene Peterson, had a special request to have Hunter Hanaway read to her. Sharlene met Hunter around Valentine's Day when the kids were in for their last visit. In fact, it came out in conversation that both like to play the Wii! Hunter and Sharlene both look forward to a Wii tournament of sorts in the future here at Juniper! Wii fitness and bowling have become a fun part of the lives of our Residents and just one way we stay active! After the reading, everyone gathered to cut the cake and sing Happy Birthday to two of the students who share their Birthdays with Dr. Seuss. The cake was delicious and festive.

A special Thank you to Pam Mitchell, Connections Director, for coordinating this fun activity! As we continue into performance month, please accept our invitation to our Annual Night at the Oscars on March 8th at 5:30pm. If you have a friend or loved one at Juniper...it's entertaining, even comical at times, and a very special event for all of our Residents! Each Resident will receive a special Oscar award. This is one you won't want to miss.

Flower Arranging

Flower arranging is common around Juniper Village.  Wellness Director, Carol Perrin takes a moment to enjoy the donated flowers and lead some ladies in a quick demonstration of flower arranging.  Carol perfects the "Art of Caring" as she Nurtures the Spirit of Life in each of our Residents!

More Dancing!

Zumba Gold continues to be a hit!  Dorris Kline enjoys a moving program this week...folks are starting to look forward to the lively music and dancing.  Adding exciting new programming is part of our focus in our Alive in All Seasons Connections Activities program.  Perhaps Louis L'Amour said it best..."There will come a time when you believe everything is finished.  That will be the beginning."  We believe in Nurturing the Spirit of Life throughout all Seasons, and at Juniper, we celebrate New Beginnings!

Happy Valentine's Day

Our Annual Valentine's Day Event was extra special with the crowning of not only our King and Queen and of our Prince and Princess.  The winners were treated like royalty...adorned with sashes and crowns by our very own Administrator, Jennifer Musone!  Sharlene Peterson and Paul Marsh were crowned Queen and King.  June and Harry Crabtree were crowned Princess and Prince.  Meet our Royal Court and some of their Royal family! 

 

Kick up your heels!

Margarite inspired a few of our associates this week to kick up their heels and strike a pose in the living room at Juniper Village at Meadville! We talk a lot about Nurturing the Spirit of Life in each individual...what folks outside our Juniper Family may not realize is, our Residents Nurture our Spirits daily as well. We find joy in those little things that keep our reasons we choose to work at Juniper in
the forefronts of our mind. We are fortunate to be touched by our Resident's joy and happiness. If you would like to inquire about our Community programs and events, please call us at 333.4400.
