We congratulate our clients for taking the proactive initiative to measure quality by listening to the feedback of their customers and caregivers.”

15-Year Anniversary Juniper Village at Aurora

We celebrated 15 years of Stellar Memory Care at Juniper Village at Aurora!  Our theme was Hollywood and "Rolling out the Red Carpet!"

We also celebrated three of care staff that have been with us since day one for the past 15 years – Alba, Daniel, and Evelyn!  We are so fortunate to have them on our team at Juniper Village at Aurora!

Without great staff, we are just a building.  Our wonderful staff, residents, and family make Juniper Village at Aurora the amazing community that it is!

Spread Your Joy: September Events

September signifies the end of summer with Labor Day celebrations and the Autumnal Equinox on the 23^rd. In this last month of our “Stay Connected” series we aspire to connect with our friends and embrace the theme of Spread Your Joy.

The Mayo Clinic tells us that friends are good for your health. They can help you celebrate good times, provide support during bad times, prevent loneliness and give you a chance to offer needed companionship, too. Friends increase your sense of belonging and purpose, boost happiness, reduce stress, and improve your self-confidence and self-worth. Friends can also encourage you to increase healthy habits – it’s always better to walk, run, swim or exercise with a friend. And friends don’t always have to be of the human kind either! Several studies have shown that heart attack patients who have pets survive longer than those without.

Our fabulous activity offerings this month include our 15-Year Anniversary Luau featuring delicious Hawaiian cuisine in a festive atmosphere complete with traditional music and floral decorations on September 4^th from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm; our Concert in the Village end-of-summer musical performance on September 11^th from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm; our Walk to End Alzheimer’s team participation in City Park (we’ll be the ones with the Juniper green shirts) on September 20^th; or our Plant a Juniper event as our residents and associates help beautify our environment on September 22^nd.

Please look through our calendar and join us for any events that can help you stay connected, cultivate friendships and Spread Your Joy!
