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 Long Live the
King: Elvis Celebration where we welcome everyone to come sing along to your
favorite tune as we stroll down memory lane remembering the Legend of Elvis who
would be celebrating his 80th birthday this year with Elvis impersonator Don
Garcia on January 8th at 2:30 pm; our Disco Fever Dance Off reminiscing to the 70’s so feel free to wear
your favorite ensemble that showcases your personality and let the disco lights
be your guide to this “throwback jam” on January 15th at 2:30 pm; or
our Rockin’ with Rocky event as
we host one of our favorite and most versatile entertainers playing a variety
of songs including country, rhythm and blues, rock and roll and much more on
January 29th at 2:30 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!
