Traveling to the Fabulous Fifties

On Saturday, June 11, 2011, Juniper Village at Aurora traveled back in time to the fifties. Our annual Father's Day Car Hop was a blast as

we dressed the part, listened to a live band play fifties music, and had restored vehicles displayed at our front entrance. The air was warm and the skies were bright and shiny as we enjoyed cheese burgers and chili dogs; fountain drinks were also available, from old fashion soda bottles to malts and root beer floats. Dancing was an option as many of our residents, families and staff joined in to show off their moves and grove to the fifty's sound. Between the music, great food, great company and great times, these are ways that we can live in wellness and keep a positive mind.

Healthy Aging

The sun was shining and food was sizzling on the grill as Juniper Village at Aurora celebrated Memorial Day on May 30, 2011, with a BBQ
lunch. Families and friends gathered with their loved ones in our courtyard to soak up the sun and enjoy hot dogs, cheeseburgers, cole slaw, baked beans and watermelon. The Memorial Day BBQ was a kick-off to our BBQ's on every Thursday at noon in June and July; the BBQ's are a great way to help get the residents and families to enjoy our beautiful sunny summer days in our courtyard and take in the amazing smell of a grill. Also, within the month of June our mission is to advise about healthy foods that can be beneficial to healthy aging. So, bring your pen and notepad and join us, as we have a registered dietitian discuss about healthy foods during our BBQ on June 16th.
