Lunch-N-Go

On September 20^th, a beautiful warm fall day, Juniper Village at the Shenango Inn was busy passing out homemade deli style lunches to go to the community.  Chef Nathan Reed prepared deli gourmet style  turkey, bacon with pesto mayo sandwiches along with sea salt chips and fresh locally grown peaches.  Both Chef Reed and Community Relations Director, Christa Cicuto, passed the lunches out to the very grateful community goers.  Approximately 50 people drove up and through for a bagged lunch to go.  It was a small way to thank our friends in the Shenango Valley community who always support us here in Sharon, PA.

Juniper Village at the Shenango Inn Welcomes New Executive Director Carole Moberly

Juniper Village at the Shenango Inn is pleased to welcome Carole Moberly, an industry professional, as its new executive director. She was named executive director in June of this year.

Most recently she was a Regional Administrative Consultant traveling throughout Pennsylvania for a management company working on corporate compliance; opening, closing and moving nursing homes; and everything else in between.

“I am so excited to return to work in my home community of Sharon PA. I find it so rewarding to give back my knowledge and expertise to my own community, my own neighbors and friends,” expressed Carole Moberly. “Working so far with Juniper Village has been a wonderful experience. The Mission and Guiding Principles are an inspiration.  The Corporate Culture is truly one focused on our residents. The mission of Nurturing the Spirt of Life is in everything we do at Juniper. Our approach is to engage all aspects of our resident’s lives, including body, mind and spirit. Focus is and always will be on the needs and quality of life for our residents.”

Her goal is to continue the mission of Juniper Village at the Shenango Inn. “We are working on wonderful programs to provide personalized care and services that enhance the quality of life for our residents.”

Carole Moberly attended Penn State Shenango and received her Associate Degree in Letters, Arts and Science. When time permits she enjoys making jewelry and spending as much time as possible with her husband and family. She is the proud mother of three daughters and six fabulous grandchildren.

September 2016 Events in Sharon, PA: 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.
