Family is a simple word, with complex meaning. To some
family is the people you are related to by blood, but to some family is the
people you choose to hold in high regard, and to others family isn’t people at
all, but animals – our beloved pets.
Regardless of the definition, family plays an important role
in our personal journey. As the saying goes, “Family is what you make it.”
Whether made of blood relatives, friends, colleagues or pets, your family can
offer you the support you need to thrive.
This month we celebrate family and reflect on our personal
journeys while creating new memories for the future. Join us as we reminisce
about these journeys through autobiographical journaling. Plan to share with
those less fortunate through our annual food drive from November 1-30 with all
non-perishable food items being donated to a local food bank. Also interact and
share with others through our community support groups, and know that you are
not alone. Throughout the month we will also be hosting several family events
as we celebrate family and give thanks. We encourage you to review our calendar
and join us for any or all of our events and Cherish The Journey!
Our fabulous November 2015 events in Louisville, CO at
Juniper Village at Louisville include our:
§
Minute to Win it Family Games are a wonderful
way to pass time with bonding and laughter, as things are about to get a bit
silly here at Juniper as we have picked out some pretty ridiculous games to play,
so mark this event on your calendar if you don't want to miss Cheetos being
thrown across the room as we Live well, laugh often, love much on November 10th
from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
§
Introduction to Dementia Part 2: Approach and
Communication because according to Peter Drucker, “The most important thing in
communication is hearing what isn’t said,” and communication can sometimes be
difficult with someone who has dementia, so Sherri Koltz with Accent Care will
explain different communication techniques we can use to foster understanding
and achieve positive outcomes on November 20th from 2:00 pm to 3:00
pm.
§
Traditional Thanksgiving Celebration because
this holiday season we have much to be thankful for, and it’s also a day of
feasting, football and family, so please join us as we share Thanksgiving feast
and cherish life’s journey, and if you feel so inclined, bring in a favorite
dessert to share, since we will have a dessert table just for this occasion on
November 21st from noon to 1:00 pm.
We look forward to sharing our November 2015 events in Louisville,
CO at Juniper Village at Louisville with you as we Cherish The Journey.
