Getting ready to party ourselves into shape!

And how are we going about doing that you may ask?? Through an exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow fitness program called Zumba! 

Zumba is a fitness program that combines Latin music and easy-to-follow dance moves. Not to mention it is excellent for mind, body and spirit! We are very fortunate to have Kelly from Heartland Hospice join us monthly for a fun way to get heart healthy. Juniper Zumba fans say," it's so popular here because Zumba is a fun way to work out!" And we couldn't agree more.

Welcome Spring

The residents and their families enjoyed welcoming spring at our latest family dinner celebration. The smooth sounds of jazz delighted the dining room as everyone enjoyed the delicious beef wellington that our Chef Rick prepared. One family member stated, " Give your chef a pat on the back for the wonderful dinner!"  It is always so nice that everyone could join us for another memorable event. Welcome Spring!

It's Never Too Late to Learn

This month at Juniper Village, Debbie from Lifelong Learning has joined us to teach and enhance our painting abilities as we explore creative expression.  Debbie brought watercolors for us to try our hand at. Watercolor painting is an art form that creates artistic representations, usually on paper, using pigments that are water-soluble. This month we learned how to paint a waterfall, which is perfect to look at in these cold winter months!  Our residents really enjoyed painting with watercolor and look forward to next months lesson.  A BIG thank you to Debbie from Lifelong Learning!



Once upon a time...

Alyse Barr, a community member of Juniper Village at the Shenango Inn, recently spent time at Musser Elementary reading holiday stories to a group of kindergarten children in anticipation of their winter break. Often times our residents have the opportunity to volunteer in our community and this is just one of the many times that our people have made a small difference in the lives of others.

Calling all the Monsters...

Juniper Village at the Shenango Inn celebrated Halloween with a monster mash theme this year.  Associates were encouraged to dress up in their scariest costumes for a contest that was held by the residents.  The awards were given out to Roy - 1st place; Kathy - 2nd place and Leonor - 3rd place. Each received a $15 gift card to Applebees.  Congratulations to the winners!

Cabaret night at Shenango

To celebrate National Assisted Living week, we here at Juniper Shenango decided to have a cabaret night for our residents. The tables were dressed in black table cloths with white floral arrangements that our residents had made as the center pieces. Wine spritzers along with cheese, pepperoni and crackers were served in our nightclub atmosphere. Jerry Cramer played jazz melodies that delighted the crowd.





Life is full of beauty

Every month the ladies of Juniper Village at the Shenango Inn enjoy an afternoon of pampering. As the sounds of nature fill the community room, the smell of  aromatherpy relaxes the mind, our Juniper ladies get a chance to sit back and enjoy a little bit of an indulgence. Manicures, pedicures and massage therapy are just a few of the monthly beauty treats. Because everyone deserves to feel beautiful we pay tribute to these special ladies!
