Celebrating 17 Year Work Anniversary – Meet Cecilia Lehuta!

This month we’re shining a spotlight on Cecilia Lehuta, who is celebrating an incredible 17 years at Juniper.

Cecilia joined our Environmental Services team back in 2008, drawn by the close proximity to home — but she’s stayed for something much more meaningful. She shares, “It’s a great working environment, and I’m treated well. Plus,” she laughs, “I don’t like change!”

Originally from Chile, Cecilia moved to the United States in 1988, but her heart remains connected to her roots. Whenever she can, she returns home to visit family and friends. When she’s not at Juniper, you’ll find her walking in nature, taking in the beauty of the outdoors.

Cecilia, thank you for your incredible work, your kind spirit, and for helping keep our community shining and beautiful every day. You are a vital part of what makes Juniper such a special place to live and work.

The Juniper Bucks Personal Care neighborhood hosted a special Fall Family Day this past Sunday, celebrating the season with activities and events that brought everyone together. Residents enjoyed a delicious lunch featuring community favorites, followed by an afternoon concert filled with patriotic tunes and lively energy. The day’s highlight was a flower arranging class where residents and families created stunning displays of mums, roses, and baby’s breath.

A perfect autumn day reminding us that the best memories are made when family comes together.

Thank you to our incredible community partners!

As we enter the season of gratitude and prepare for Thanksgiving, we reflect on the importance of our local community partnerships. These deeply-rooted connections are an extension of our mission “to be the people, places and programs that nurture the spirit of life,” both inside our walls and beyond.

With 28 locations in five states, each Juniper community has woven its own unique tapestry of ties to the local community. These partnerships are vast and varied. Elementary schools, universities, dance studios, breweries, bakeries, theatres, outdoor clubs, churches, animal shelters, libraries, athletic teams, artists, non-profits, and so many more come into our communities to create experiences that meld passion with purpose.

Through these partnerships, we’ve been able to:

🔹Foster a deep sense of connection and belonging for everyone involved
🔹Offer vibrant programs and impactful experiences for both Juniper residents and the broader community
🔹Give back through volunteerism, shared wisdom, friendship, and community spirit
🔹Combat ageism and challenge stereotypes about older adults and senior living

These relationships ensure that Juniper is more than a place to live - we’re an integrated and dynamic part of the communities around us.

We are proud to recognize Becky M. as this month’s Berry Board Winner. Our Berry Board hangs in the associate break room, giving team members the chance to share notes of appreciation for one another—from our maintenance crew to our nurses and everyone in between. Becky was nominated by her fellow associates who consistently see the warmth, energy, and dedication she brings to our skilled nursing neighborhood.

As a member of the Juniper Bucks Catalyst team, Becky’s enthusiasm and genuine care make her a bright presence in our community. Her ability to connect with residents, families, and coworkers alike has a lasting impact, creating an environment of kindness and teamwork.

Thank you, Becky, for embodying the Juniper spirit and inspiring those around you every day.

Over 6,000 people joined the Philadelphia Walk to End Alzheimer’s this year, and Juniper Bucks was proud to be among them.

Executive Director Kathryn Bainbridge, Administrator Nicole Sokolowska, and Catalyst Director Kenny Faunce led the charge as the team walked with purpose and pride.

The community came together for a two-mile walk that even included a special moment on the field at Citizens Bank Park—a truly memorable experience. Each step taken moves us closer to ending this battle, because we walk!

The mid-week slump didn’t stand a chance at Juniper Bucks on Wednesday!

November’s Mindful Moment

November reminds us that standing for what matters: community, compassion, and connection. This is how we nurture the spirit of life.

Rosa Parks said it best: “Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today’s mighty oak is yesterday’s nut that held its ground.”

At Juniper Village at Bucks County, we’re inspired daily by those who stand strong — from veterans who’ve served with courage to neighbors who lead with kindness. Together, we grow deeper roots and reach toward brighter tomorrows. Let’s all take a mindful moment this month to stand for something good — gratitude, purpose, and the people who make our community thrive.

We’re excited to recognize our Hero of the Month, Hajar “Heather” Jeljalane!

Heather joined the Juniper Bucks family just one year ago, and in that short time, she’s made a remarkable impact. Her Juniper journey began behind the counter of the Newsroom Café, where she greeted residents each morning with fresh coffee and a warm smile. Her genuine care, uplifting spirit, and exceptional customer service quickly set her apart and led her to her current role in the Business Office.

Today, Heather continues to support residents across all neighborhoods with their billing needs and beyond. Thank you, Heather, for being a true cornerstone of the Juniper Bucks team and for embodying our commitment to connection, compassion, and community.

Juniper Bucks recently hosted its annual Oktoberfest celebration, and calling it a success would be an understatement!

Residents from our independent living neighborhood, along with family, friends, and future neighbors, gathered to experience one of our most anticipated events of the year.

Special thanks to the incredible Good Times Live! band for bringing authentic Oompah sounds! Guests enjoyed a mouthwatering menu prepared by our talented dining team, and commemorative cups to toast the occasion. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, music, and connection.

At Juniper Bucks, every event is a chance to live vibrantly and bring the community alive. We look forward to raising our glasses again next year—because here, the good times are always on tap. Prost to life well-lived!
