It's "All In The Family" at Juniper Village at Cape Coral

This holiday season the residents and staff at Juniper Village at Cape Coral started a search for a family to adopt.  And, the "perfect" family came into our lives this week.  Nathan Henning, a very proud Serviceman in the US Army, returned from overseas duty earlier this year.  After serving his tour in Iraq, Nathan was stationed in Germany prior to returning to his home in Cape Coral.  Nathan and his wife Ashley visited Juniper Village on Wednesday, along with their beautiful 18 month old daughter Layla to meet our residents. 
Their smiling faces and sincere appreciation for being included in our "Juniper Family" took our residents' breath away. 

Earlier this fall our residents held a very successful rummage sale and all proceeds were donated to our new family to make their Christmas a little more jolly.  In addition, Juniper Village gave the Hennings a turkey for their Christmas dinner table.  One of our creative and talented residents knitted a blanket and booties for their daughter.  After all the excitement of the presents came a wonderful announcement from Ashley Henning - she is expecting another baby in May!  All of our residents, men and women, are planning a baby shower, and talking about how they are going to spoil Layla and her new sibling.  The Hennings will be coming to our Christmas Party and, of course, will be attending all of our monthly Family & Friends Dinners...because they are now a part of our Juniper Family!

We would love to have you or your family member join our Juniper family.  Come on down and see how we nurture the spirit of life in each individual we touch.
