Welcome to 2017! What a wonderful time for us to reflect on
the past year and forge ahead with new beginnings. January is a time to begin
again; a time when we make (and sometimes break) our New Year’s resolutions and
focus on how we want to improve in the coming year.
January is also the month that Juniper Village begins our
Winter Alive In All Seasons theme of Creative Expressions: “Explore Your
Creativity” where in January we will focus on music! Do you know that research
shows that music can help us physically by easing pain, helping us sleep
better, eat less and enhance our blood vessel function? It is also suggested
that music can help us mentally by reducing stress, relieving symptoms of depression,
elevating mood, decreasing anxiety and improving cognitive performance. Because
of this, Juniper Communities has adopted the Music & Memory program.
Through the use of MP3 players and headphones our teams
download personalized music for each resident. These musical favorites tap deep
memories and can bring participants back to life, enabling them to feel like
themselves again, to converse, socialize and stay present. Learn more about our
Music & Memory program by talking with our Connections Director and
consider making a donation to this worthwhile program. We accept donations of
new or used iPods, new over the ear headphones and iTunes gift cards.
Join us this month as we explore our creativity through
music with outings to local musical performances, Elvis’ birthday celebrations
and concerts by our Joyful Noise Choirs. We invite you to Welcome New
Beginnings at Juniper Village and make a resolution to join us for activities
and events throughout the year!
