Juniper Village Senior Living At Brookline

12/09/2025

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.

Our Veterans Day event was a wonderful tribute to the brave men and women who have served our nation!

We were honored to hear a heartfelt and inspiring address delivered by Retired Navy Veteran Mark Stephens, who paid tribute to the service members in our community. The duo Picker and Papa kept us all tapping our toes to familiar and lively patriotic tunes.

To honor their service, each Veteran received special ribbons. Thank you to everyone who made this day a success!

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.
