September 2016 Events in Louisville, CO: Spread Your Joy


As the air begins to cool and summer wanes, Juniper Village ends our “Stay Connected” series by recognizing Friendship and Joy. What is it that brings you joy? Is it the wet nose of a newborn pup? The smile of your first grandchild? The taste of a triple chocolate ice cream cone? Whatever it is we invite you to share that joy with others at Juniper Village this month.

Much attention has been paid to studies regarding the effects of stress on your health, but what about the effects of joy? The landmark “Nun Study,” as it's often known, revealed that positive emotion is correlated with longevity: 90% of the most cheerful quarter of nuns was alive at the age of eighty-five, whereas only 34% of the least cheerful quarter lived to that age. Similarly, 54% of the most cheerful fourth was alive at age ninety-four, versus 11% of the least cheerful. Of the 678 sisters in the original study about four dozen are still living. So go ahead, grab that triple chocolate cone it might just extend your life!

Join us this month as we celebrate friendship and staying connected with calendar events such as our annual daffodil planting and our home warming, birthday party and Best Friend initiatives.

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

§  Juniper Village Assisted Living Week because National Assisted Living Week is a great opportunity to celebrate Nurturing the Spirit of Life, so join us throughout the week as each day brings a different theme hosted by our Partners In Caring sponsors, with special events including best friends t-shirt day, PJ day and sports day, as in addition, we will honor our residents, families and care staff with a very special Memorial service, and finally this grand week finishes with a magnificent carnival event from September 11th to September 16th.

§  Friendship-N-Fun as our residents will be making new friends and celebrating old friends as we partner with our sister community, Juniper Village of Aurora, to enjoy a special outing in the community with festivities including bowling, pizza and lots of laughter on September 22nd at 11:00 pm.

We look forward to sharing our September 2016 events in Louisville, CO at Juniper Village at Louisville with you as you Spread Your Joy.
