Easter Brunch and Egg Hunt

Mother Nature was kind to us again this year for our annual Easter Brunch and egg hunt!  Everyone enjoyed the fun and spending time with our Easter bunny!! What a fun filled event for our residents, staff and families!

What a Wonderful Show of Community Support!

Karen Wuertz, Fine Arts Department Chair at Regis Jesuit High School Boys Division, and the students and families of Regis Jesuit High School, have taken on the challenge of helping Juniper Village at Aurora reach their goal of providing every resident with iPods, headphones, and playlists as part of our Music and Memories implementation.

They have gone above and beyond with cash donations for iTunes cards and iPods and even took on the task of downloading resident’s personal song choices onto the iPods!

We say at Juniper Village at Aurora, “It Takes a Village”, and Regis Jesuit High School, and Karen Wuertz really embrace this concept by donating their time and expertise and we are so grateful for their support of our community!

April 2015 Events in Aurora, CO: Believe in Yourself

Welcome to April - the name derived from the Latin word Aperire meaning “to open”; the month when everything starts to bloom and come alive. What better time to really put forth your best efforts and see the true beauty inside than the month in which everything begins anew! Diana Ross, in the Wiz, advises “believe in yourself, right from the start. You'll have brains; you’ll have a heart; you’ll have courage to last your whole life through if you believe in yourself.” So let’s put our best foot forward, believe in ourselves and we can move mountains!

Join us for our April 2015 events in Aurora, CO at Juniper Village at Aurora as we pull pranks on April Fool’s Day; honor Jesus Christ on Good Friday, followed by hiding Easter eggs; celebrate the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery on Passover; and celebrate mother earth on Earth Day and Arbor Day. Peruse this month’s calendar as we focus on the brain through our Daily Brain Builders, Wii tournaments and our Healthy Brain Luncheon. Plan to join us for any and all events. Also, check out our Healthy Aging Resource Library to learn more about the brain or any number of health related topics. We look forward to seeing you during this fun filled month.
