National Assisted Living Week
Several weeks ago, we celebrated National Assisted Living Week, and we celebrated with special activities each day. The residents and staff were given pens, snacks and candy every day. The staff was treated to pizza as well as wraps, which were provided by Patient Care. And to everyone's delight, Compassionate Care Hospice of Morris County provided us with an ice cream truck stocked with every frozen dessert imaginable. Each resident also received a rose to thank them for their support. It was a very special week!

Family Fun Day
It may have been one of the hottest days of the summer, but that didn't stop people from having fun at our annual Family Fun Day!!! We had vendors selling merchandise, free wine tasting, and terrific refreshments sponsored by various community organizations. Also on hand were games, a bouncy castle, train rides, pony rides, balloon
art, a caricaturist, and face painting. Timing was everything as we all retreated to our air-conditioned library for a fantastic magic show. It was a great day for everyone!

September 2016 Events in Chatham, NJ: Spread Your Joy
As the air begins to cool and summer wanes, Juniper Village
ends our “Stay Connected” series by recognizing Friendship and Joy. What is it
that brings you joy? Is it the wet nose of a newborn pup? The smile of your
first grandchild? The taste of a triple chocolate ice cream cone? Whatever it
is we invite you to share that joy with others at Juniper Village this month.
Much attention has been paid to studies regarding the
effects of stress on your health, but what about the effects of joy? The
landmark “Nun Study,” as it's often known, revealed that positive emotion is
correlated with longevity: 90% of the most cheerful quarter of nuns was alive
at the age of eighty-five, whereas only 34% of the least cheerful quarter lived
to that age. Similarly, 54% of the most cheerful fourth was alive at age
ninety-four, versus 11% of the least cheerful. Of the 678 sisters in the
original study about four dozen are still living. So go ahead, grab that triple
chocolate cone it might just extend your life!
Join us this month as we celebrate friendship and staying
connected with calendar events such as our annual daffodil planting and our
home warming, birthday party and Best Friend initiatives.
