We are committed

At Juniper we are committed to nurturing the spirit of life in each individual we serve so that they may live fully throughout all seasons of life. To us this means understanding an individual, not only their needs but their desires and responding with programs and services which provide for the highest quality of life possible. Our Alive in All Seasons program of activities is designed to foster healthy bodies, enriched minds and fulfilled spirits. These pictures and stories are living proof that we at Juniper are dedicated to walking our talk!

Juniper Village at the Spearly Center focuses on resident centered, individualized care.  One of the ways we do this is through our Spearly Sidekicks program.  Each of our residents is paired with a staff member who serves as their friend and sidekick.  The sidekicks learn about each other and grow together as friends through many planned activities.  Sidekicks are also encouraged to spend some informal time together each week. 

In May of this year, we brought in a professional photographer to take some photos of the sidekicks.  At first many of our staff and residents were a little camera shy - but all it took was bringing out a box of fun hats and goofy shirts to bring everyone out of their shell. 

We hope you enjoy these photos of the sidekicks as much as we do.  Come on down to the Spearly Center and see many examples of resident focused care as we nurture the spirit of life in each individual we touch.
