Juniper celebrates New Life

We celebrated today one of our very own, Magalie Innocent, who will be giving birth in August. We know she is having a girl and this will be their first child. All hands were on deck to wish her a fair adieu by giving her a surprise shower. Magalie, who is shy, enjoyed every minute.  Hopefully we'll see her back in November. Good Luck! 

 

 

 

 

Horseshoes Anyone?

Let the Horseshoes fall as they will. The competition is fierce but Juniper residents came out to participate in an 8 week competitive

game of Horseshoes. The weather cooperated as residents warmed up with some arm exercises and then delved in. The first week has Jayne Capevillo taking the early lead, but time will tell.

 

 

 

 

Elisaveta "Wellness Director" is not only a Nurse!

Keeping with our theme of the Month, "Food, Live in Wellness", our very own director of Wellness, Elisaveta Zaharieva demonstrated how to make one of her favorite Russian salads. Residents were treated to an interesting history of how this became the traditional salad dish of

Russia. We also found out that Elisaveta is not only an excellent nurse.... but also a superb cook. Samples were accepted by all.

 

Dance Innovation Delights Residents

Once again, Dance Innovations delighted residents by performing their lastest repertoire of dance numbers. Families and the residents were
in awe of their talent. The girls aged from 6 to 15. They were impeccable in their beautiful attire with only artistic aptitude and beauty to match.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thomas Jefferson visits Juniper Village

He was the Third President, but the Sage of Monticello would rather be remembered as scientist, farmer, inventor, architect, and author of the Declaration of Independence. Our  residents, along with the community, were treated to a performance by Peter Small impersonating Thomas Jefferson.

 

Senior Luncheon and Spring Concert

The residents of Jniper Village were treated to an wonderful luncheon and concert presented by the children of Southern Blvd. Elementary School. Our lunch started with the principal welcoming Juniper residents and he gave us some history about the school. We had 10 third graders who sat and ate with us while providing us with

interesting tidbits of their school life. We were then escorted into the gymnasium where the concert began with chimers playing beautiful
tunes followed by voilin players and then the choir. It was truly a fantastic day.

 

 

 

 

 

Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom

Residents boarded the Juniper Bus on April 15th, Tax day, and headed to Branch Brook Park in Newark, NJ to escape any income tax blues.

Instead, they were delighted to see the pink colors of Branch Brook park in full bloom at the countries second best Cherry blossom display, only second to Washington D.C. It was spectacular and the weather was great.  The residents enjoyed a picnic lunch; a fun time was had by all.
