Juniper Lifesavers

Juniper Communities prides itself on delivering continuous educational opportunities to its staff.   With recent changes to CPR training, Juniper Village held a class to its staff in order for all staff to be updated, informed and trained  on proper procedures.  John Libonati Mercer County Coroner came out to deliver the in person classroom training.  Juniper Village is proud of all of their employees who became, “life savers,” to our residents and its Shenango Valley community.

For the active body….stretch your noodle!

Silver Sneakers has been one of our Partners in Caring for two years strong! Residents flock to the activity room Monday through Friday to take classes from Joyce, the fitness instructor. Joyce is full of encouragement and energy, two traits that keep our residents coming back each day for more. Chair exercises with the noodle can help increase circulation and flexibility. They can also strengthen postural and mobilization muscles.  Rain or shine, summer or winter, inside or out, there is so much that you can use the noodle for, but here at Juniper Village at the Shenango Inn, we like to use them for exercise.  Those that are interested in stretching your noodle, please contact Christa Cicuto at 724-347-4000 to schedule.

Announcing Juniper Royalty….

King Don and Queen Esther residents of Juniper Village at the Shenango Inn were crowned King and Queen at the Valentine’s Day Party held this past Sunday.  Residents, Families and Staff were encouraged to vote for King and Queen during the month of February.  The votes were tallied up and the residents were happy to see two great people enjoy a little bit of royalty treatment on a special day.  Congratulations King Don and Queen Esther!

Celebrate!

It’s a celebration each and every month here at Juniper Village at the Shenango Inn!  Whether we are celebrating another year of life or welcoming a new resident into our family, we sure do know how to throw a party!  Join us for our next Birthday and Welcome Party on February 26th at 6:00 pm during our Happy Hour.  Enjoy music, drinks and lots of celebrating!

February 2016 Events in Sharon, PA: Awaken Your Passion

In February we turn our Alive In All Seasons focus to art and invite you to awaken your passion with us. Leo Tolstoy defines the activity of art as “To evoke in oneself a feeling one has experienced, and... then, by means of movements, lines, colors, sounds or forms expressed in words, so to transmit that feeling.”

This month we will transmit our feelings using many different mediums to let other share in our experiences, feelings and passions. We will travel through art around the world and experience art as it is meant to be – inspirational and transformative. We will feel the cool breeze and smell the fragrant blossoms of Monet’s gardens in Giverny, France as we gaze upon In the Garden and the Water Lilies series. We will feel the angst of Vincent Van Gogh as we admire his passionate works such as Vase with Twelve Sunflowers and The Starry Night. We will also pour our passion into our own creations evoking memories of the past to share with the future.

Please join us on this journey as we visit local art museums and create our own art through weekly craft programs. Celebrate with us as we recognize Valentine’s Day with sweets for the sweet and Fat Tuesday foods and fun at our Mardi Gras party.

Our fabulous February 2016 events in Sharon, PA at Juniper Village at The Shenango Inn include our:

§  Fat Tuesday Family Luncheon for residents and family to have a wild Mardi Gras, featuring colorful beads and abundant delectable dishes on February 9th at noon.

§  Valentine’s Day Party as we invite our residents, families, and friends to share some sweet treats while making sweet memories on February 14th at 5:00 pm.

We look forward to sharing our February 2016 events in Sharon, PA at Juniper Village at The Shenango Inn with you as we Awaken Your Passion.
