Attack of the Nerds!

Who says being a nerd isn’t fun! Evidence proves otherwise by these BFF photos of some outstanding nerds found at Juniper Village at Aurora.  Even the Executive Director took on the appearance of a nerd ham boning! We truly have made the grade of being nerds.

Volunteers

Howard and Don are two of our many resident rock stars here at Juniper Village at Aurora.  The men recently volunteered their time at the Aurora Interfaith Food Pantry by hauling heavy boxes of frozen chicken thighs and hams to be stocked in their freezers in order to feed the homeless and low income residents in Aurora.  They also marked through numerous UPC labels on canned goods, baked goods and a various assortment of breads that were donated to the pantry.  High fives and thank yous were echoed throughout the pantry for their hard work.

2015 Successful Outcomes

April 2016 Events in Aurora, CO: Believe in Yourself

Do you know that embracing a healthy lifestyle promotes brain health as well? This month we embark on our quarterly Alive in All Season theme of Healthy Aging: Let Wellbeing Thrive. Throughout April we will focus on brain health and encouraging you to Believe in Yourself. We will learn more about how physical health and exercise, diet and nutrition, cognitive activity, and social engagement can help keep both your body and brain healthy and potentially reduce your risk of cognitive decline. At the 2014 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, results of a two-year clinical trial of older adults at risk for cognitive impairment showed that a combination of physical activity, nutritional guidance, cognitive training, social activities and management of heart health risk factors slowed cognitive decline. It’s never too late to make changes to achieve a healthier lifestyle.

Join us this month as we expand our knowledge of brain health and take steps to boost our brain health through our Healthy Brain series featuring our Daily Brain Builders and Wii Games designed to promote cognitive activity. Continue your research by perusing our Healthy Aging Resource Library, filled with volumes of information to help you and your loved ones age well. And, don’t forget to join us for our Brain Healthy Luncheon where we will nourish mind, body and soul. We look forward to sharing this month of healthful thinking and encouragement to Believe in Yourself – you can do this!
