What's your favorite decade?

Another fun day of celebrating seniors, this Friday was our "Favorite Decade" themed party. We saw some fun side ponytails and bright colored spandex, crazy Hollywood style shades, and even beautiful
summer dresses from the 1920's complete with a garden party hat. As always, there were lots of snacks and beverages enjoyed outside. Residents and staff mingled and chatted it up while thinking back to the different decades. It was a great time, and another example of how we live to Nurture the Spirit of Life in our Residents.  Thanks again to all who joined!

Celebrating Assisted Living Week

On Monday, we kicked off Assisted Living week with a Carnival! Guests, residents and staff alike, dressed in our crazy pajamas and played games outside, in what turned out to be a beautiful day,
typical of Colorado weather. Everyone feasted on a BBQ style lunch with hot dogs, burgers, chicken and brats. Later, as the carnival continued, we snacked on popcorn and cotton candy to satisfy that sweet tooth. The residents enjoyed the many games available, but there was a special joy that came from watching the children who joined us
for this exciting day. Thanks to everyone who could attend, we had a great time!

K-9 Fun with the Loveland Police Department

July was an unusually hot month here in Colorado, but the residents here at Juniper Village were still able to enjoy this fun outdoor event. The Loveland police K-9 unit was kind enough to host a private police dog demonstration, just for Juniper Village. The police officers happily explained what the average day might look like for a police K-9 officer in training, and out in the field. The residents
loved seeing the dog performing tricks, especially when the officers brought in the protective attack suit. The residents laughed, and were in awe of the dog's accurate attack and swift movement, as it latched on to the actor in the suit. Thank you to the Loveland Police Department, it was a great day enjoyed by all of us!
