💕 Juniper was featured on World News Now! Reporter Danny New talked with residents from our sister community in Paramus, NJ ahead of Valentine’s Day. The segment perfectly captures that life in the third act can be bold, rich, and even witty. Watch the full segment below!

Spearly was filled with Valentine energy, love, and so many smiles thanks to a visit from the Colorado Children's Chorale.

The students sung and paraded through our third floor and out onto the Pinion Patio, greeting residents along the way and passing out handmade Valentines to everyone they met.

Residents were just as excited to give back — creating little gift bags that were shared with the students before they headed out. We wrapped up the visit gathered outside for a group photo, soaking in the moment together.

We always treasure visits from this wonderful choir. Their kindness, music, and youthful energy bring so much happiness to our entire community, and we are incredibly grateful for the joy they share every time they visit.

We truly appreciate the Smoky Hill United Women in Faith (part of Smoky Hill United Methodist Church) for their heartfelt gift of handmade prayer shawls and quilts. Each piece was crafted with intention and prayer to offer warmth, comfort, and a tangible reminder of compassion for our community.

Margo, our Social Services Director, accepted these treasures to share with those in need of extra support and spiritual comfort. We are so grateful for this partnership and the kindness poured into every stitch!

We were excited to share some wonderful news at this month’s Resident Council meeting—a brand-new partnership with the Highland Recreation Center! Through this partnership, residents age 60 and over will be able to participate in Denver’s 60+ Program, which offers free access and free memberships to the rec center. For residents under 60, we’ll be working with Play Applications to help secure memberships as well.

This opportunity opens the door to a wide variety of fitness and wellness classes, games, art and culture programs, and outdoor recreation. Lexi from the Highland Rec Center joined us at Resident Council to present, and residents were absolutely delighted and excited about all the possibilities this new partnership brings.

We are thrilled to share that Ethan Hall will be continuing his program with us through monthly piano concerts at our center. Ethan’s music has become a favorite, and we’re excited to welcome him back on a regular basis.

Through the rest of the spring, Ethan will be performing in the main dining room. Once summer begins, he’ll be joining us on the Pinion Patio for our Friday barbecues—performing on the fourth Friday of each month at 11:00 a.m. We’re so grateful for his continued partnership and look forward to many more moments of music, connection, and joy.

Help us celebrate Rey, our newest Associate of the Month!

Since joining the Transportation Department at The Spearly Center last March, Rey has become an essential part of the team. He has spent much of his career behind the wheel, doing what he loves most—driving and keeping people safe.

While he is a man of few words, his actions speak for themselves. Rey is consistently reliable, takes immense pride in his work, and is always there for his teammates. We are so lucky to have him on the road with us!
