Team Spearly at the 2015 NAMI Walk


Every year, residents, staff and family members participate in the National Alliance on Mental Illness Walk, or NAMI Walk.  This event is for fundraising and creating support and awareness about mental illness.  Team Spearly was large this year with 20 participants!  The weather was perfect, the crowd was festive, and there were plenty of organizations with booths with information on services, support groups, and snacks.  Live music really got the walkers excited to be a part of this supportive event.  A great time was had by all who attended, and Team Spearly cannot wait until next year’s NAMI Walk.

May 2015 Events in Denver, CO: Grow Strong Daily


Fitness is on our mind during our May 2015 events in Denver, CO at Juniper Village at The Spearly Center 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 Denver, CO at Juniper Village at The Spearly Center 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!

Our fabulous May 2015 events in Denver, CO at Juniper Village at The Spearly Center include our:
