Spearly Having Fun at the Stock Show

It's a January tradition at Spearly to head to the Stock Show. The Residents continue to show off their creative expression by dressing up in their western wear and enjoying a good old fashion rodeo. At the rodeo they enjoy snacks, each others company and the animals. For some of the residents this was a new beginning as some of them had never been to a rodeo or the Stock Show.

we enjoy music and welcome new beginnings

At Spearly music is a big part of the community. When you walk into Spearly our residents are always exploring new beginnings with all types of music. No matter the music, all the residents will agree, they love a good tune. Come by anytime and explore music with us.

Christmas at Spearly

Once again at Spearly it's that festive time of the year to celebrate friendships, enjoy laughter and celebrate the little things in life. This years holiday party was a hugh success. Thanks to our volunteers who helped including Linger Restaurant, DRCOG and Fleece Navidad who donated gifts for all of our residents. Our residents LOVED their presents.

Spearly residents visit the Denver Zoo holiday lights

December is all about "Celebrate the little things!" The little things of seeing the holiday lights at the zoo were quite impressive to our residents. "Having hot cocoa and seeing the animals in the lights made our night," says one of Spearly residents.

FW: Veterans Day at Spearly

Veterans bring a unique touch to our Juniper Village Home. The Spearly family enjoyed the day honoring our 35 resident veterans along with many veteran staff members. Colors were shown with the branch of
service the veteran served along with nurturing each spirit that came to the event.

Tailgating Party!

Tailgating-The Spearly Way...This is how we "Show our Colors!"  The Bronco Cheerleaders came and helped us kick off our Annual Tailgating Party. Our residents and our neighbors enjoyed the grilled hot dogs, brats and tofu. We also had homemade chili, chips and plenty of refreshments. This was definitely an event you won't want to miss next year.  So, plan on attending and "Show your Colors!"  Review your monthly Village View Newsletter for more November programs you can attend to stay connected!

Spring Flings at Spearly 2011

As we celebrate the return of sunny days and bluer skies, we are reminded that life is about being alive in all seasons. Spring is about being given the chance to start anew and a time for growth. It is the perfect time to renew our commitment to staying active and believing in ourselves, that we can overcome anything we set our mind to. Keeping our minds active is one way to do that, and Spearly's residents truly enjoy our activities that promote healthy aging. We have had several exciting events throughout this Spring, each one inspiring our residents get their minds active and healthy! Our residents truly love our daily brain-building activities, from playing board games such as Monopoly, word extraction, banana grams, Wii Tennis and most famously, Wii Family Feud. And as the warmer weather fills our beautiful Colorado air, there has been plenty of fun outside as well....from planting daffodils and daisies to walking the hillside for that fresh air and sunshine....and as always, hanging out on our private patio.

Spearly has also celebrated Spring with a few notable holidays. There were memorable times egg-painting around our Spring Celebration Dinner with the residents and staff, as well as our Mother's Day Tea banquet, where raffle prizes were given to the residents. This event was quite a hit -  the mother's received rose pins and gifts, and the room was filled with laughter and cheer!
