Theralink Days with Vitality Checks

We kicked off our "Theralink Days with Vitality Checks” with a fun, energetic celebration and the Juniper/Genesis team provided screenings of residents, testing for mobility, balance, walking ability, falls risk, aerobic endurance, leg strength and endurance, as well as overall safety of equipment!  The team does monthly assessments and Vitality Checks on these principals and communicates them to our Juniper Nursing Team thereby providing quick interventions for ongoing and changing needs of all residents!

It is our joy to Connect4Life with Genesis in our ""Theralink Days with Vitality Checks”, and increase overall fitness, well-being and the highest quality of life!  We also kicked off our Route 66 Walking Fitness Challenge and will celebrate the gift of Walking for Fitness as we enjoy the beauty of the Spring Season with Friends!

Join us this month as we Connect4Life in "Theralink Days with Vitality Checks” on our journey to Destination Wellness!

May 2016 Events in Williamstown, NJ: Grow Strong Daily

We all know that regular physical activity is great for overall health. But do we all understand the dangers in being inactive? Studies indicate that sedentary lifestyles are risky. For the most part, when older people lose their ability to do things on their own, it doesn't happen just because they've aged. It's usually because they're not active. Lack of physical activity also can lead to more visits to the doctor, more hospitalizations, and more use of medicines for a variety of illnesses. In recognition of those facts, Juniper nurtures wellbeing by encouraging an active body, an engaged mind and a fulfilled spirit through our innovative Signature Programs such as Connect4Life, Connections and H’Art and Soul of Dining.

We continue our Healthy Aging Series with a focus on Fitness. In the wise words of J.R.R., Tolkien, "All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost." This month we will Grow Strong Daily so as to not wither, but to thrive as we develop strength in bodies, minds and spirits.

This month we invite you to join us as we Grow Strong Daily with activities such as our Daily Brain Builders, Wii, and our Brain Healthy Luncheon. We also invite you to expand your knowledge in our Healthy Aging Library.
