Juniper Village at Brookline Wellspring Memory Care

12/10/2025

Community members and our Juniper team spent the week decking the halls — with a very special helper who needed just a bit less step-stool than the rest of us…

Miles the Giraffe, our beloved Brookline mascot, joined the decorating crew!

From supervising ornament placement (from way up top!) to lending his elegant neck for those “hard-to-reach” branches, Miles made sure our Wellspring small-house neighborhood felt warm, bright, and joy-filled.

At Juniper, people and connections are at the heart of all we do — and nothing brings people together quite like a dash of creativity, a sprinkle of holiday cheer, and one charming giraffe spreading smiles.

Please plan to join us this holiday season and experience the Juniper dining experience for yourself!

We understand that food is foundational to wellbeing. With that in mind, our H’art and Soul of Dining experience is thoughtfully designed to fuel both our bodies and our spirits. This becomes particularly evident during the holidays, a season dedicated to celebration!

Here are a few of the ways our dining program sets us apart at Juniper:

We nourish our bodies through:
- Personalized, flexible meals (low sodium, sugar-free, heart healthy) designed to align with your unique preferences and wellness goals.
- Meals inspired by the Blue Zones, the world's longest-living communities. This approach emphasizes whole foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, and lean proteins while limiting dairy and sugar.
- A commitment to freshness and quality by making dishes from scratch, sourcing seasonal produce from local growers, and swapping highly-processed foods with healthier and delicious alternatives.

We nurture our spirits through:
- A warm and inviting all-day dining experience that emphasizes community, connection, and personalized service.
- Live cooking demonstrations and taste testing experiences with our Juniper chefs and community partners.
- Sharing family recipes and cultural traditions.
- Creating extraordinary dining moments and celebratory events.

Nothing brings us more joy than gathering around the table with the people who make our community feel like family. Last week’s Harvest Fest family-style luncheon was filled with delicious food, laughter, and the kind of connections that truly nurture the spirit of life.

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.

There’s something about mashing potatoes from scratch that stirs up more than flavor — it stirs up memories.

As the holidays draw near, we’re reminiscing about those family-favorite recipes that bring comfort, connection, and maybe even a few happy tears to the table. At Juniper Village at Brookline Wellspring Memory Care, we celebrate those moments — the smells, the stories, and the traditions that nurture the spirit of life every day.

Associates and residents at Wellspring followed the Yellow Brick Road last week for a spectacular Wizard of Oz–themed Halloween celebration!

From the Munchkins, Dorothy and Toto to the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Glinda the Good Witch, and even the Flying Monkeys and the Wicked Witch herself — everyone truly brought the magic of Oz to life.

What a fun way to celebrate Halloween!
