What is wellness? The National Wellness Institute defines
wellness as "a conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving
full potential." At Juniper we believe in fostering this definition of
wellness everyday by offering programs and services that help our residents
achieve their full potential. As we wind down our Healthy Aging series, this
month we focus on Food by highlighting our H’Art and Soul of Dining Signature
Program.
Throughout our lives the most important discussions,
revelations, decisions and announcements have transpired around the dinner
table. When company came over we caught up on the latest gossip over coffee and
fresh baked goods. If you needed advice from your parents, it was often given
while enjoying Mom’s delicious pot roast on a Sunday evening. Why should that
be any different when you enter your retirement years in one of our
communities?
With the kitchen often being the heart of the home, we have
developed H’Art and Soul of Dining with this in mind. This program strives to
impart spirited service, companionship and nourishment through sharing the joy
of good food – just like home! Our dining program is designed to not only meet
resident’s physical needs, but their emotional and social needs as well. We
believe this program provides a perfect balance of nutritious and delicious
food choices, comfortable atmosphere and ambiance, social interaction,
cleanliness and a spirit of service.
Indulge with us this month as we focus on the “heart” of the
home with program offerings centered on food and nutrition such as our
hydration program with healthy snacks and juices and educational presentations
by a dietitian. Join us in June as we Live in Wellness.
