Red Nose Day

Our residents did not know the definition of “Red Nose Day”.  When we explained what it meant they were happy to be involved. Even though times were different they also experienced many sad life events; the depression, being left to be raised in an orphanage, the loss of family members due to illness, and many more sad stories. Unfortunately not much has changed. It is with that Juniper Village of Cape Coral jumped on board for “Red Nose Day”.  Our staff and residents as well as guests wore their Red Noses with great pride. We will embrace the richness we have been blessed to have, and will continue to pray for those less fortunate.

May 2015 Events in Cape Coral, FL: Grow Strong Daily

Fitness is on our mind during our May 2015 events in Cape Coral, FL at Juniper Village at Cape Coral with our Alive In All Seasons theme “Grow Strong Daily”. As you know, physical activity is good for you both physically and mentally. Regular physical activity can help you to continue to do the things you love and stay independent as you age. Exercise can reduce the risk of developing some diseases and reduce symptoms of some chronic conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and balance issues.

But, if exercise has not been a part of your daily routine how do you take that first step? Start by making it fun! Turn a walk around the block into a scavenger hunt – search for daffodils, birds, squirrels or lucky pennies. Instead of a dip in the pool, create an adventure as you pretend to swim with the dolphins. Rather than send your co-worker an email, walk to her office and communicate face to face, double the benefit with a smile! What’s important is to make it fun and just start – today!

Join us for our May 2015 events in Cape Coral, FL at Juniper Village at Cape Coral as we will Grow Strong Daily with Fitness Five, and walk “cross country” with our Route 66 Walking Program and learn more about keeping our hearts fit at our Healthy Heart Luncheon. We look forward to sharing these and many other activities with you this month. Peruse this month’s calendar, and we will see you soon!
