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.

What a day for an outing! Residents enjoyed a festive trip to Lewistown, PA, for a sneak peek of their upcoming Ice Festival and stunning Candyland-themed Christmas decor!

We fueled up with a delicious lunch at the Downtown OIP & Grille, and then warmed up with tasty peppermint mochas at East End Coffee Co. before bundling up for a walk through town. Everyone loved checking out the beautifully painted windows and fantastic local murals.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this festive adventure!

Community spirit was soaring at our associate appreciation potluck-style Friendsgiving on 11/26! We had a wonderful time celebrating the Thanksgiving season together.

There is nothing quite like sharing a holiday meal with the people you love.

At Juniper Village at Brookline Rehab and Skilled Care, we were delighted to invite families to join their loved ones for a special Thanksgiving feast. Seeing the dining room filled with conversation, laughter, and families enjoying time together was the highlight of our week.

This holiday season, we believe everyone deserves a warm meal and a reason to smile.

The team and community members at Juniper Village at Brookline Rehab and Skilled Care came together to collect non-perishable food items for the Anti-Hunger Program. We are honored to support their mission and help ensure that families in our local area have what they need for a special holiday dinner.

Giving back is at the heart of what we do, and we are so grateful to everyone who contributed to making this drive a success!
