Celebrating the Little Things

At Juniper Village the Spearly Center we celebrate the little things with our Restorative Nursing Department. Our dedicated restorative department promotes independence in our residents with active ambulation, restorative dining, walk to dine, individualized exercise, and other programs designed to promote an active body and engaged mind.

The gym is always bustling with residents stretching and exercising to regain or improve their independence.  This is achieved through many different activities such as riding the recumbent stationary bike, playing a wii game to increase range of motion and even dancing in the parallel bars.

The restorative team works closely with our rehabilitation team to ensure that our residents are safe and secure and able to reach their goals and be as independent as possible.  Even the smallest gain in  a resident's progress towards independence is celebrated by staff and other residents as well.  Join us as we celebrate the little things and big successes!
