Why a Giraffe?


At Juniper Village at Lebanon, we recently celebrated our exceptional
staff and residents with giraffe awards.  Since we are a relativley
new addition to the Juniper familiy, we thought it might be
appropriate to explain why the giraffe is part of our culture.  Lynne
Katzmann, pictured here as a giraffe, summed it up well when she came
to present the giraffe awards to the associates.  When you think of a
giraffe, you think of an animal with a long neck, who is taller than
all the other animals, and perhaps less commonly known, has an
unusually large heart.  So when we recognize associates with a giraffe
award, we are appreciating their tendency to stick their neck out for
our residents, to go above and beyond the call of duty, and to do it
all with a lot of love.

We also recognized our residents with their own giraffe awards,
recognizing them for what makes them unique and special.  Everyone was
feeling happy and proud.
