Cherish the Journey: November Events


Life is a journey filled with lessons, celebrations and special moments that ultimately lead us to our destination, our purpose in life. The road will not always be smooth and we may encounter many challenges. Some of these will test our courage, strengths, weaknesses, and faith. Along the way, we may stumble upon obstacles that must be overcome. But, sometimes these obstacles are really blessings in disguise, although we may not realize it at the time. How we react to the situations we face will determine what the rest of our journey will be like.

This month Juniper Communities will honor our Families and cherish the journey we have taken together. November is all about celebrating the bonds we share and recognizing where we’ve been and where we’re going. We will do this through autobiographical journaling, reminiscing about family celebrations and breaking bread together in Thanksgiving. In order to support our families along this journey we will continue to develop our support groups and provide additional resources when needed. We will give back through our Annual Food Drive. From November 1 through November 30 all non-perishable food items collected will be donated to a local food bank.

Our fabulous activity offerings this month include our Annual Food Drive where you can drop off non-perishable food items for the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank anytime all month long; our Veteran’s Aid & Attendance Workshop with Veteran’s Specialist Kim Leve from Senator Doyle’s Office, to share information about the program, answer any benefit questions you may have, and discuss how the program can help you or a loved one pay for your long term care on November 8th at 10:30 am (please RSVP to 412-244-9901); our Veteran’s Patriotic Sing-A-Long as we honor Veterans for their military service with a special patriotic musical performance by local entertainer Dennis Smalley on November 11th at 3:00 pm; our Caregiver Support Group Meeting discussing the importance of families and how everyone in the family needs to help when it comes to caring for a loved one on November 12th at 1:30 pm (please RSVP to 412-244-9901); our National Memory Screening Day event providing free private and strictly confidential memory screenings as well as information about services available on November 18th from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm (please RSVP to 412-244-9901); our Diabetes Support Group Meeting offering  knowledge, education and sharing with other Diabetics to help make living with Diabetes a little easier on November 26th at 1:30 pm (please RSVP to 412-244-9901); or our Thanksgiving Day Celebration featuring a delicious Thanksgiving Day feast with all the trimmings at noon that is free for residents and only $10.00 for guests with all proceeds benefiting the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank with dessert and musical entertainment by Gene Ellsworth in the lobby at 3:00 pm on November 28th (please RSVP to 412-244-9901).
