Juniper Communities celebrates 25 years of Nurturing the Spirit of Life with Juniper Village at Aurora

If you know Juniper, you know we love to celebrate every opportunity we can; we were so very excited to host this celebration in honor of our parent company, Juniper Communities. We enjoyed the wonderful company of our family, our friends, and those that were able to come into Juniper for the first time, it was a great turnout! Being able to showcase our Signature Programs with the display boards, enabled everyone to see what really does set Juniper apart from the crowd. Our Partners in Caring program is one that was alive and well at this event, being able connect with our neighboring vendors, communities, families, friends...IS Partners In Caring. If you'd like to learn more about our Signature Programs, come on in and we'll tell you all about it.

Every aspect of our celebration was absolutely perfect. From the beautiful food that was prepared by our Chef, to the smiles that were beaming throughout the community...which almost was as bright as the sun that was shining. But have no worries, we had our shades on, more than anything to signify that We See Life's Possibilities! To make the world a better place, a place where each of us can live life fully throughout all seasons of life. At Juniper, we are passionate about our vision!

The laughter that filled the air was almost in harmony with the violinist as she played wonderful music. The conversation with each person was most enjoyable and pleasant.

25 years is a generation...you can believe that we are embracing the next generation as we speak.

Awaken Your Passion...

Awaken Your Passion...that's what the Overland High School Boys Basketball Team did for the basketball enthusiast at Juniper Village!!

Basketball has been known to be an art, to those that are players and to the on-lookers. Just as there is a wide variation of artists, there are just that with the players. From the way the ball is dribbled to the way he shoots a 3-pointer, there is variation in form. Just as many paintings are similar, no two pieces are the same...just as no two players are the same. Basketball is an Art.

We had a wonderful opportunity to watch "art" in action recently at Overland HS. The team showed their skill, talent, and love for the game. Some of our residents were able to get out to the late evening game and returned just as the snow was coming down.

The team has also been to Juniper Village at Aurora to connect with residents one to one...giving us an opportunity to see the artist within each player, up close and personal. Each player providing time that was filled with true awe aspiring moments, laughter to fill the air, and joy with our residents. What an awesome team the OHS boys and Juniper Village make!

Elvis Is In The Building

What a treat to have Elvis come to Juniper Village at Aurora on his birthday! We enjoyed a concert of his all time list of favorite songs. Elvis certainly serenaded the ladies and they loved every minute of it...big smiles every where you looked! We couldn't resist enjoying Elvis' favorite sandwich: Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches, a true treat.

Celebrating Tradition

In honor of keeping our long-time traditions alive, we invited Santa to Juniper for pictures with friends in the community, the young, and the young at heart. We had breakfast to go for our friends to jump start their day with Burritos from Benny...a delicious way to go.

The little ones really enjoyed seeing Santa and telling him what they wanted for Christmas. It was definitely a joy for the rest of us, young at heart, to see Santa. The memories that Santa can bring to mind are those of innocence, peace, and of that fun-loving spirit we hold deep inside.

Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanza, Christmas, or any other very special time during this holiday season, Juniper Village at Aurora is sending many wishes of peace and joy from our home to yours.

A Winter Wonderland

It seems only appropriate to share about our Winter Wonderland Open House that we recently hosted today on the first day of Winter. It wasn't then, and still isn't feeling much like winter here in Aurora, but you can count on that chaning in a blink of an eye...as we say: if you don't like the weather in Colorado, wait five minutes...it'll change soon.

We took the opportunity to celebrate the little things, like holiday music sung by carolers, delicious home-made candies and cookies, catching up with friends, and best of all, the nurturing and growing relationships that we have with each other.

Juniper Village at Aurora sends warm wishes to all, this first day of winter!!

Gettin' Sporty

There are many different ways we get to stay active, everything from a friendly game of balloon volleyball or putting the golf ball to exercise with stretch bands and kick ball. We always have opportunities for everyone to really show their colors and be fully engaged at Juniper Village at Aurora. We know how very important it is to be able to have a moment of feeling that "win", to be able to release a little physical energy, and most important to feel a part of a team!! There's no better way to do all of this than with good friends.
