The Juniper Red Hats have
embarked on another service project. We have joined up with the Summit
chapter of the Susan G. Koman Foundation,
and spent an afternoon pairing up shoelaces which will be given away to participants of the Susan G. Koman Race
for the Cure 5K fundraiser in May.
A fun activity for a great cause!

Juniper Communities Introduces Theralink for Onsite Integrated Therapy at Juniper Village at Chatham
Juniper Communities, a national owner-operator of Juniper Village senior living communities, is rolling out Theralink in all its facilities, and locally at Juniper Village at Chatham. Theralink is an on-site program designed to help residents regain and maintain independence, fitness and overall wellbeing. It is being implemented through a newly established partnership between Juniper Communities and Genesis Rehab Services.
“Rehabilitation, restorative services, and fitness are vital to healthy aging and whole person wellness,” explains Lynne Katzmann, CEO and Founder of Juniper Communities. “Coordinated with other clinical services permits, Juniper will be able to provide integrated post-acute care onsite at the communities through Theralink. This is especially important for Juniper’s residents who want and need more intensive rehabilitation services in their ‘home’.”
Grant Welson, Area Director for Genesis Rehab Services states, “Juniper is taking an industry lead by creating Theralink to offer onsite therapy services where they are integrated into everyday patient care. Feedback from preliminary implementation from Juniper’s residents has been overwhelmingly positive.”
The Theralink program will provide physical, occupational, speech, and when needed respiratory therapy that is integrated into the care Juniper currently delivers. Elements of Theralink include special balance and strength training, and fall prevention programs; technology and apps that facilitate and record personal fitness training; dementia management programs that integrate cognitive and occupational therapies; cardiopulmonary management; and monthly assessment reports.

March 2015 Events in Chatham, NJ: Your Treasure Is Within
Treasure hunting has been around forever! The search for
riches has evolved from archaeological digs revealing lost treasure to present
day treasure hunts such as television’s “The Amazing Race”. Much has been
written about the allure of treasure, but one thing that we’ve come to realize
is that the treasure within is the most valuable of all. Each one of us has a
treasure within and through our March 2015 events in Chatham, NJ we will be
exploring that treasure at Juniper Village at Chatham - be it your ability to
sing, play a musical instrument, recite dramatic prose or balance a spoon at
the end of your nose. No treasure is too small! In the immortal words of
Captain Jack Sparrow, “Not all treasure’s silver and gold, mate.”
With our March 2015 events in Chatham, NJ at Juniper Village
at Chatham we end our Creative Expressions Series with a focus on Performance.
Please join us during our March 2015 events in Chatham, NJ while we recognize
“Your Treasure is Within” as we provide opportunities to express yourself
through our weekly drama clubs and by attending theatrical performances. If
step dancing and corned beef and cabbage is more your thing, sample all that is
Irish with our annual St. Patrick’s Day party or walk the red carpet and share
your movie trivia skills at our Oscar Party.

Class Series about this month’s topic of Personal Connections Bring Family on
