Grow Strong Daily: May Events

Welcome to May where we will be dancing around the May Pole on May Day; donning opulent hats for the Kentucky Derby and sombreros for Cinco de Mayo; honoring our mothers on Mother’s Day and our fallen heroes on Memorial Day. What a fantastic month of celebration! In addition to observing these holidays, Juniper Village will be focusing on this month’s Alive In All Seasons theme “Grow Strong Daily” with an emphasis on fitness.

Studies show exercise is an effective treatment for many chronic conditions such as arthritis, heart disease and diabetes and can also help people with high blood pressure, balance problems or difficulty walking. Stress management, improved mood and cognitive function are other benefits of regular exercise. This is why Juniper Village makes exercise a part of every day! We are completely dedicated to whole person wellness and “nurturing the spirit of life” for each individual we touch by encouraging an active body, an engaged mind and a fulfilled spirit.

Join us here at Juniper Village at Williamstown for our Cardiac Heart Health Presentation on May 7^th at 3:00 pm; our Mother’s Day Music and Chocolates Celebration on May 11^th at 2:00 pm Village and 3:00 pm Wellspring; our Community Spring Festival Outing on May 15^th at 2:00 pm; our Memorial Day Concert Celebration on May 26^th at 2:00 pm; or our National Senior Fitness Day Event on May 28^th at 4:00 pm.

Celebrations Galore!!

This month as we celebrated our Alive in all Seasons Theme of The
Brain: "Believe In Yourself", we were truly inspired by the
metamorphosis taking place within our community! This metamorphosis is
within our residents, families, care associates and friends throughout
the community! We enjoyed the privilege of observing individual
growth and transformation in those so dear among us! Everyone is
stepping forward and engaging in new opportunities, new social
happenings, new friendships and celebrations and learning new cultural
experiences as well as celebrating the growth and success in others!

We have celebrated with adding new members to our Red Hatters group!
We enjoyed watching one of our own care associates as he mastered his
gift of music on the keyboard for a wonderful performance for all to
enjoy. We also celebrated the Juniper Spirit Awards given to our
Juniper Care Associates for exemplary service, dedication and
performance! In addition, our community enjoyed great fun as we
made fun of ourselves with the art of caricatures! We also welcomed
the largest group of Rowan University Students for an amazing
Inter-Generational day! We continued the season with a wonderful
Jewish Cultural Experience which included the fabulous Bobby Block
Orchestra, playing traditional Klezmer music enjoyed by all. To
conclude April events we also hosted our Annual Community Easter Egg
Hunt with a beautiful brunch, music and even the Easter Bunny! Guests
have reported our Egg Hunt is the best in the area!

Please join us as we continue to "Believe In Ourselves" and inspire
each other to grow & be the best we can be at all stages of life!

"Believe In Yourself"

This month at Juniper Village of Williamstown we celebrate our Alive
In All Seasons Theme of: The Brain: "Believe In Yourself"!  All of us
celebrate every day of life and the gifts of health at every level!
Our Brain is command central (if you will), and here at Juniper
Village of Williamstown we are on a mission to use our brain's optimum
potential.  Together with our residents, families, care associates,
volunteers and friends throughout the community we engage in every
facet of life to utilize and retain our full potential at every stage

We enter into every endeavor with the spirit of joy, friendship and a
great sense of community. Together we can conquer what we could never
do alone!

As we all engage in every opportunity to believe in ourselves and
strive to be the very best we can be, we will create a positive,
joyful life to the fullest! This month our residents competed in Bingo
Championships with our Rowan University Graduates, and they showed
Rowan who's boss when it comes to Bingo!  In addition they celebrated
the joy of friendship as they enjoyed parties, festivities and sharing
special birthdays and joyous moments with their Juniper family and
friends.  In addition, we dedicated our new books with a celebration
to our Healthy Aging Resource Library for all to enjoy and share!

Believe in Yourself: April Events

April, the month where we play innocent pranks on April Fool’s Day; celebrate Springtime and Easter with egg hunts, brunches, and church; pay homage to mother earth on Earth Day; and welcome the return of America’s favorite pastime – Baseball. This month we embark on a new quarter in our Alive in All Seasons calendar where we celebrate Healthy Aging and will “Let Wellbeing Thrive”. Throughout April our focus is on the brain and honoring the theme “Believe in Yourself”. Did you know that activities that are good for your heart are also good for your brain? The American Heart Association tells us that protecting memory and brain health is a matter of keeping your heart and blood vessels healthy. Regular cardio exercise and a healthy diet not only keep your heart happy, but your brain too.

This month’s offerings include activities and events that will keep our bodies and brains healthy and renew our faith in ourselves. Educational opportunities will cover brain health topics such as brain booster activities and ways to keep fit. We will rejoice in our individuality and celebrate ourselves through life affirming reminiscent and creative activities while reminding each other to “Believe in Yourself”.

Please join us here at Juniper Village at Williamstown for our Community Annual Easter Egg Hunt on April 5^th from 10:00 am to noon; our State Theatre of New Brunswick Vocal Performance on April 10^th from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm; and our Being The Very Best Version of You At All Stages of Life presentation on April 29^th from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm. See our newsletter calendar for a complete listing of events and come visit us during any that suit your fancy!
