Growing Strong Together!

This month as Juniper Village of Williamstown we are celebrating life, health and well-being!  Join us as we celebrate every moment of life in abundant joy and vibrancy of life!

We begin our month of May with a Themed Luncheon & Cinco de Mayo Celebration with a very spicy traditional Mexican Lunch, beverages and special dessert!  We celebrated with the traditional music of Mexico and experienced Mexican dance!  Everyone was so colorfully dressed and full of energy..... They loved the beautiful instruments and their favorite part was keeping the rhythm!

We also celebrate our very special Nurses here at Williamstown and throughout the communities, as they keep the pulse and are at the center of Growing Strong Together in our communities!

We hope you will celebrate every moment of life with joy and treasure the little things of life.  They create magic!  Join us as we continue our celebrations throughout the month of May!

New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Visits Juniper Village at Williamstown

Juniper Communities Founder and President Lynne Katzmann was privileged as she was asked to meet with New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno to discuss senior living and elder care issues in the state of New Jersey. The meeting took place May 6th at Juniper Village at Williamstown, one of our dual levels of care campuses that offers both Wellspring memory care and Village assisted living. The Lieutenant Governor toured the facility and met with staff member and residents as she was inquiring about the impacts of regulatory statutes and assessing possible future programs. Juniper Communities President was honored to have the opportunity to share her insights with the Lieutenant Governor while learning about policies and legislation from the Governor's office. Look for more from these two influential women in the near future.

May 2015 Events in Williamstown, NJ: Grow Strong Daily

Fitness is on our mind during our May 2015 events in Williamstown, NJ at Juniper Village at Williamstown with our Alive In All Seasons theme “Grow Strong Daily”. As you know, physical activity is good for you both physically and mentally. Regular physical activity can help you to continue to do the things you love and stay independent as you age. Exercise can reduce the risk of developing some diseases and reduce symptoms of some chronic conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and balance issues.

But, if exercise has not been a part of your daily routine how do you take that first step? Start by making it fun! Turn a walk around the block into a scavenger hunt – search for daffodils, birds, squirrels or lucky pennies. Instead of a dip in the pool, create an adventure as you pretend to swim with the dolphins. Rather than send your co-worker an email, walk to her office and communicate face to face, double the benefit with a smile! What’s important is to make it fun and just start – today!

Join us for our May 2015 events in Williamstown, NJ at Juniper Village at Williamstown as we will Grow Strong Daily with Fitness Five, and walk “cross country” with our Route 66 Walking Program and learn more about keeping our hearts fit at our Healthy Heart Luncheon. We look forward to sharing these and many other activities with you this month. Peruse this month’s calendar, and we will see you soon!
