Fire and Police Department Recognition

The police and fire departments are such crucial, important components to our society, and without their brave dedication our society would not function as it does today. As recognition to their service, Juniper Village hosted a luncheon to thank the men and women who keep our community safe. The residents and members of the community had a wonderful time visiting and learning about the police and fire departments involvement in our community while enjoying a wonderful meal together. After lunch, the Louisville fire department kindly brought a fire truck to the building, and the residents got an
opportunity to see the truck up close and learn about its inner workings. Thank you again to the police and fire departments, our society would not be what it is today without you!

Blog on Bowling Outing

As a fun way to keep an active mind and body, our residents love to play the video game Wii bowling. The game is often played multiple times per week, and we have several residents who can make consecutive strikes in a row. With all that practice, it was time to go do the real thing, and so last Wednesday a group of residents put on their bowling shoes and headed to the bowling alley. We had so much fun laughing and visiting together as we bowled the afternoon away. While Wii bowling will continue to be popular in the halls of Juniper, actual bowling will definitely be an activity to repeat.

Bird houses

Earlier this month we were fortunate to have fifteen students from Escuela de Guadalupe come to our community to work on a craft project with our residents. Collectively, the students and residents decorated four wooden bird houses as well as several wooden birds that will soon be displayed in our community's courtyard. The residents had a wonderful time working alongside the students as they shared stories, sang songs, and worked on the project. After completing the craft, the students joined us for lunch in the backyard. Thank you to all the students from Escuela de Guadalupe! The bird houses look beautiful and really show all the hard work and creativity put into them.

Sock Hop Blog

This past Friday, Juniper Village went back in time to host an old fashion sock hop full of all the classics from the fifties, from poodle skirts and milk shakes to rock and roll music and cotton candy! We kicked off the night by enjoying hamburgers, hot dogs, and french fries in pink Cadillac themed plates. After the entrée, our residents and friends enjoyed homemade cotton candy from our cotton candy maker as well as hand made milk shakes as they prepared to dance the night away to a live performance of classics from the fifties. Finally,
everyone had a chance to dress up in attire fit for a sock hop and take a picture in front of a juke box! The night was great fun and truly enjoyed by all!  Please check out our video at:

Spring/Flowers

Spring is finally here, and we at Juniper couldn't be more excited!  The warmer weather means that our residents can finally enjoy our beautiful courtyard now that the snow is behind us. During the summer,
we love to have backyard barbeques, stroll along the paths, and sit under the gazebo and visit. To get our courtyard in tip-top shape, residents and staff pitched in to plant flowers and really make our
backyard look like home! Stop by some time to see all the hard work our residents put in to the garden!

Mother's Day Celebration

On the first of the month, we celebrated Mother's Day with our residents and family, recognizing all of the love and care mothers provide. It was a really sweet event dedicated to pampering our mothers and showing them our love. The residents had an opportunity to get their make-up done by a professional beautician, as well as enjoy a relaxing massage. After enjoying our spa treatment, the residents were able to dress up and take beauty shots with family and friends.

As the day wrapped up, everyone enjoyed snacks consisting of finger sandwiches, cookies, fresh fruit, and punch. It was a day full of laughter and reminiscing about everything mothers do for us, and from all of us at Juniper, we hope you had a nice mother's day too!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter from all of us here at Juniper! This past Saturday, residents, family, and staff took advantage of the beautiful weather and participated in a long standing tradition this time of year: an Easter egg hunt! Our egg hunters were equipped with colorful baskets and searched all through the backyard for eggs as the residents watched and cheered them on. After the egg hunt, everyone went inside to enjoy a beautiful brunch and chat with friends and family. This event is a tradition here at Juniper and we hope you can join us next year!
