Welcome to 2015! What a wonderful time for us to reflect on
the past year and forge ahead with new beginnings. January is a time for change
when we make and sometimes break our New Year’s resolutions and focus on what
we want to make better in the coming year.
January is also the month that Juniper Village begins our
Winter Alive In All Seasons theme of Creative Expressions: “Explore Your
Creativity” where in January we will focus on music! Research shows that music
can help us physically by easing pain, helping us sleep better, eat less and
enhance our blood vessel function. It is also suggested that music can help us
mentally by reducing stress, relieving symptoms of depression, elevating mood,
decreasing anxiety and improving cognitive performance. Hospitals are using
music to help cancer patients manage stress and anxiety and to ease recovery in
stroke patients.
Our fabulous activity offerings this month include our Veteran’s
Benefit Presentation with special guest speaker David Casterioto of The
Veteran’s Support Center about the VA’s Aide and Attendance program and how
this benefit could help you financially on January 7th at 1:30 pm;
or our 6th Annual “All Shook Up” Happy Hour where we welcome everyone to come
sing along to your favorite tune as we stroll down memory lane remembering the
Legend of Elvis on January 16th at 3:00 pm!
Look through our calendar and join us this month as we
explore our creativity through music with outings to local musical
performances, Elvis’ birthday celebrations and concerts by our Joyful Noise
Choirs. We invite you to Welcome New Beginnings at Juniper Village and make a
habit of joining us for activities and events throughout the year!
