September 2016 Events in Aurora, CO: Spread Your Joy


As the air begins to cool and summer wanes, Juniper Village ends our “Stay Connected” series by recognizing Friendship and Joy. What is it that brings you joy? Is it the wet nose of a newborn pup? The smile of your first grandchild? The taste of a triple chocolate ice cream cone? Whatever it is we invite you to share that joy with others at Juniper Village this month.

Much attention has been paid to studies regarding the effects of stress on your health, but what about the effects of joy? The landmark “Nun Study,” as it's often known, revealed that positive emotion is correlated with longevity: 90% of the most cheerful quarter of nuns was alive at the age of eighty-five, whereas only 34% of the least cheerful quarter lived to that age. Similarly, 54% of the most cheerful fourth was alive at age ninety-four, versus 11% of the least cheerful. Of the 678 sisters in the original study about four dozen are still living. So go ahead, grab that triple chocolate cone it might just extend your life!

Join us this month as we celebrate friendship and staying connected with calendar events such as our annual daffodil planting and our home warming, birthday party and Best Friend initiatives.

Our fabulous September 2016 events in Aurora, CO at Juniper Village at Aurora include our:

§  Fresh Bread for Friends because National Assisted Living Week is not only a chance to pat ourselves on the back for all that we do, but it’s also a chance to acknowledge all of the other communities that provide great care for seniors, so Juniper will be baking friendship bread and delivering it hot and fresh out of the kitchen to our partners in caring between September 12th and September 17th.

§  Best Friends Forever because each and every senior here at Juniper Village has a special bond with their best friend who is an associate on our team, so join us on this special day as we celebrate our friendships with a gift that lasts a lifetime by transferring our favorite pictures onto beautiful wooden canvases with the help of our best friends, and though this event may sound exclusive, we promise to include anyone and everyone that wants to participate, so come and join in the fun on September 22nd from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm.

§  Learning With Friends because with such spectacular resources at our fingertips, we’d be terrible friends not to share, so Juniper will join our partners in caring from across the Front Range to tour the Rocky Mountain Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, located on the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus; there are only 15 total spots available for this exclusive, expert led tour, so secure your spot today on this one of a kind journey through today’s top findings in CU’s passionate quest to cure Alzheimer’s on September 29th from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm. (Please RSVP to Evan at 303-218-8322.)

We look forward to sharing our September 2016 events in Aurora, CO at Juniper Village at Aurora with you as you Spread Your Joy.
