Celebrating our Assoicates


This month is a special month at Juniper Village of Williamstown. As we celebrated our "Alive In All Seasons" theme: of The Brain: "Believe In Yourself" we were excited to kick off our April Events and Offerings with our Annual Juniper Associate Appreciation Week!  Residents, families, and all of the Juniper Teams enjoyed a week-long celebration of events in recognition of the Juniper Associates!  We celebrated with many wonderful gifts, raffles, music, dancing, thank you notes from leadership to their teams.  Everyone enjoyed special luncheons, new
summer t-shirts, and so much more!

Of course it wouldn't be the same without the President of Juniper Communities, Lynne Katzmann, personally taking time out of her very busy schedule to join our Executive Director, MaryJane Eicke, in spending a day here at our community in Williamstown, personally presenting the Juniper Spirit Awards and Giraffe Awards to our special recipients!

She also graciously bestowed a special honor and award to the sister of one of our beloved team members, Ronnie Seidenberg, who recently passed away earlier in this season!

Residents also celebrated with a social and presentation of new books for our Healthy Resource Library!

Join us as we celebrate the Brain: "Believe In Yourself" and continue to increase the power of positivism in ourselves, communities, and the world!

April 2016 Events in Williamstown, NJ: 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!
