Juniper at Brookline was proud to partner with the Alzheimer's Association to raise funds and awareness for Paint the Park Purple night at Medlar Field. Together, we turned the stands purple while cheering on the State College Spikes in honor of all those affected by this disease. The first 200 fans got a free purple t-shirt!

Our Juniper team brought community members out for a night under the lights—complete with box seats, hot dogs, ice cream, and plenty of baseball fun! Wellspring community member Bill got to throw the first pitch!

Thank you to everyone who joined us in cheering for a cause that’s close to our hearts. 💜 Together, we believe in a future without Alzheimer’s.

We wrapped up summer in the best way possible!

Residents celebrated "A Day at the Beach" right here at Juniper with a crab cake lunch, tropical music, and fun decorations. Our Dining Services Director even had an action station to make delicious bananas foster for dessert!

For an afternoon snack, residents made "beach baby" pudding cups and enjoyed dipping their toes in the sand. It was a perfect day filled with sunshine and smiles!

Yesterday was a wonderful day for a trip to Spring Creek Park. Our dining team prepared delicious bagged lunches, and the weather was absolutely perfect for enjoying them outdoors. After lunch, everyone took a peaceful walk by the creek, enjoying a moment to connect with nature. It was a relaxing and beautiful outing for residents!
