Juniper Communities

My mother has been resident of Juniper Village of Chatham for about 2 years and I have to say that there has been nothing that she wants or needs that isn't provided. Mom receives the best care around the clock ,if needed,the food is of restaurant quality,and the service is great.the wellness staff has been very helpful in helping mom when she requires special attention.Overall this facility has gotten my vote and is recommended to any one that needs additional help with their loved ones.

I am a contracted professor who provides the residents a bi-weekly current events lecture. This facility is not only beautiful, but impeccable. The residents are friendly and inviting. The residents are well cared for and the relationships with staff are warm and friendly. When my mother needs assisted living there is no other place I would recommend, and I provide my services to other nursing and assisted living facilities.

I spent a month and a half at Juniper Village at Chatham during a respite stay recovering from a broken hip during late June, July and early August 2013. Most of the residents are a little younger than my parent's so my stay there was a lot like a very long cruise with parents. The residents are really interesting people and have lead quite diverse lives. It's a excellent facility with lots of activities to engage the residents. Some of the residents have cars and there are field trips with the Juniper bus for movies, shopping, church or visits to other local sites of interest. The staff is great and the food is excellent and there is an Ala Carte menu if you want something other than one of the two offerings at each meal. It's served by a wait staff in the dinning room and there are nice touches like cereal in the morning can be topped by bananas or berries depending on what is available. Now a days I'm a volunteer doing technical support to help residents with iPads, PCs, smart phones etc. Most of the staff I knew from my stay is still there. I am tremendously impressed with Juniper Village and I strongly recommend it to anyone who is considering assisted living or a respite stay.

I have been a geriatric mental health and special needs massage therapist for 25 years. This facility is by far the best community I have visited. The staff, the environment, and philosophy is excellent. Only wish there are more like it!

They have really taken care of my mom so well. We are so happy how she got to settle in. The level of contact they provide. I think it's because it's such a small Community, that they have a lot more hands on with their residents. It's very clean there. I am so glad A Place for Mom helped me find this place. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have found it myself.

We're very pleased with how things are going at Juniper Village, it's a very nice place and my loved one seems to be enjoying herself! The facility itself is clean and well kept, and everyone here seems very friendly. She is doing so much better now that she is getting some regular social interraction!

They do an excellent job at Juniper Village at Lebanon! The people here are all very friendly, and if you have any problem at all they get right on top of it. It's a nice looking, clean, well kept place, and it is somewhere I would recommend to others!

Things have gone very well overall at Wood River Village! The staff, on all levels and in all capacities, has been very helpful and very accommodating. The facility itself is well kept and clean, and all of the residents seem well taken care of.

They've done an absolutely fabulous job so far at Juniper Village! It's a lovely looking, well kept, clean community, and they take very good care of the people who live here! The staff are all very friendly, and they really seem to care about each of their residents as an individual. We would definitely recommend them to others!

The staff there at Brookdale Preston is very friendly and welcoming. getting to know the residents and their families by name. The place is very clean, always looking nice and smelling good. All the residents there are very happy. The only thing that my mom has commented on that could be improved is the food. The food is good, but there have been some changes that Brookdale has made recently which has made it not quite as good as it was before. It's really been a great experience and has met and exceeded our expectations.

My husband and I truly loved this place. From the moment we walked in the staff was welcoming, friendly and they were very informative. The patients appeared happy and well cared for. Te facility was clean and well organized. Virginia was a wealth of information and she and Keith were warm and compassionate to our situation. This place is on the top of my list for my Grandmother.

f you have to have Alzheimer's Disease, and you have to be in a facility, it truly does not get any better than Juniper Village. My mother was there for about 4 years until she passed away a few months ago. During that time, I was consistently impressed with how well they train their caregivers specific to dementia care. They know how to redirect, comfort and reassure the residents, rather than control and escalate them. She was in the Sage House, where the wonderful staff was so consistent, warm and caring. Came to be like family. I observed the same kind of care by other staff not in Sage House when I was visiting. Other things that I really liked about Juniper as compared to other facilities I visited were: No offensive odors unless someone had just had an accident. Very clean. I like that there is a continuous loop where residents can walk around inside, unlike other facilities where there is a hallway to walk down and when they come to the end, a locked door. Did not want my mom to feel trapped. A HUGE backyard where residents can walk and sit outside, enjoy BBQs, and a play structure so they can watch their grand kids play. The food is really pretty good. One of the few pleasures for someone with Alz, so very important to make sure the food is tasty wherever you decide to place a loved one . I also appreciated frequent check- ins by Director to see how things were going, and frequent care conferences, if desired. While no facility is perfect, JV comes pretty darn close. Given the difficulty of the residents they serve and the need for a very high level of patience, I give them very high marks. :)

Excellent always!

Words from a wiser man: Great staff!!

Juniper Village is a top notch community. The staff is very caring and thorough. I have never seen such attentive communication between all staff in any other community. The activities, outings and extracurricular structure is also above and beyond. I highly recommend Juniper Village for your loved one.

People are very caring and loving with the patients. They also make visitors feel welcome. My husband is getting excellent care.

My mother has been at Juniper Village-Chatham for 8 months now and I cannot speak more highly of it on all aspects and levels. The setting and grounds are beautiful. The interior décor is elegant, warm and immaculate. The staff on every level is professional, caring, warm, efficient, accommodating and friendly. Each resident is treated as an individual and their level of care is reviewed on a regular basis. The food is excellent and there are a variety of activities and entertainment offered that the residents can choose to participate in. I couldn't be happier with the quality of care that my mother receives.

This is an amazing place for anyone needing senior care. Their motto is "Nurturing the spirit of life" and it could not be more appropriate. The experience has brought new life and joy to my Mom. She loves the staff, the food and all of the wonderful activities. She went in a bit reluctant (fear of the unknown) and now wants to stay forever! It is such a relief to me to know she is safe, happy and so well cared for.

Things have gone very well at Juniper Village! I thought they were very in tune with what I was looking for, and they really went out of their way to work with my Mom. They are very caring, very supportive, and very easy to work with. I haven't met one person that I thought had a bad attitude! And their community has a lot to offer, if the resident is willing to engage in all of the activities they offer.

Unexpectedly we found ourselves trying to find an assisted living facility for our 87 year old mother who had fallen at home and could no longer live in her home. Juniper Village was the second place we considered and it stopped there. We love the setting of the location, easy access while in a beautiful wooded area, small and personable. The care is excellent, aids are friendly, helpful, respectful and courteous. When you walk into Juniper Village there is always something interesting or fun going on. The facility always seems fresh, clean and tidy and the staff personable and engaging. I would not hesitate to recommend Juniper Village at Forest Hills.
