April 2016 Events in Louisville, CO: Believe in Yourself


Do you know that embracing a healthy lifestyle promotes brain health as well? This month we embark on our quarterly Alive in All Season theme of Healthy Aging: Let Wellbeing Thrive. Throughout April we will focus on brain health and encouraging you to Believe in Yourself. We will learn more about how physical health and exercise, diet and nutrition, cognitive activity, and social engagement can help keep both your body and brain healthy and potentially reduce your risk of cognitive decline. At the 2014 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, results of a two-year clinical trial of older adults at risk for cognitive impairment showed that a combination of physical activity, nutritional guidance, cognitive training, social activities and management of heart health risk factors slowed cognitive decline. It’s never too late to make changes to achieve a healthier lifestyle.

Join us this month as we expand our knowledge of brain health and take steps to boost our brain health through our Healthy Brain series featuring our Daily Brain Builders and Wii Games designed to promote cognitive activity. Continue your research by perusing our Healthy Aging Resource Library, filled with volumes of information to help you and your loved ones age well. And, don’t forget to join us for our Brain Healthy Luncheon where we will nourish mind, body and soul. We look forward to sharing this month of healthful thinking and encouragement to Believe in Yourself – you can do this!

Our fabulous April 2016 events in Louisville, CO at Juniper Village at Louisville include our:

§  Way to Grow in Our Community Garden because one of the beautiful benefits of Juniper is our courtyard, an essential tool to complete a balanced experience for our residents, being able to watch the baby birds in spring, and enjoy the harvest of our vegetable garden, gives one a sense of ownership and involvement, and this year we are inviting our friends and family to launch our planting season since many of you have a great amount of knowledge that we could use in our very own back yard, and we will also be serving fruit salads and refreshments on April 5th from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm.

§  Food for the Brain Luncheon for a delicious brain healthy lunch prepared right here at Juniper by our wonderful chefs with a menu that will feature baked Mediterranean salmon, quinoa sliders and fresh berry and granola parfaits, plus each attendee will be going home with a brain health gift box on April 22nd at noon.

§  Be Aware for Better Care a spectacular collaboration with some of the communities most knowledgeable in the field of senior care, so join us in this enlightening community event where you will have the pleasure of learning about alternative therapies for better care as you will also learn about what tools we are using that enable a successful dementia care experience, and brain healthy treats such as salmon, couscous, quinoa and hummus will be served on April 28th from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm.

We look forward to sharing our April 2016 events in Louisville, CO at Juniper Village at Louisville with you as you Believe in Yourself.
