Juniper Communities

All excellent!

My parents are very comfortable since their move to this community. The staff is all very friendly and accommodating. The place is kept spotless and the meals are fantastic. So far we have no complaints, everything has been great.

Brookdale Preston is a GREAT Place for your love ones. Their Memory Care Neighborhood is Awesome. My mother lives there and I must say its very clean and the staff there are very hands own with her.

I am happy with the care that my sister and brother in law are receiving here. The staff is taking great care of them . The community is always clean and nice to enjoy. My sister is enjoying the activities that are offered to her. The seem to enjoy the food that is available. I know other families would like the care and the value of this great community for there loved ones.

I have lived happily at Wood River Village for 16 years. The staff is wonderful, food excellent and activities galore. I always feel safe and I am ensured that when I need extra care it is here for me.

The community is great and the staff is outstanding and caring. the community is very clean and well taken care of. There are alot of great activities to participate in. I would recommend this community for all around great care for a loved one.

A welcoming atmosphere from the first moments. Staff friendly and always concerned about residents at all times. Public and private spaces well maintained. Daily activities and special events are easily accessible.

JV is just like being at home. I love Juniper it is so friendly, warm and welcoming. This is both the atmosphere and the staff. The family likes that the fees are paid monthly instead of yearly. When I am ready for Assisted Living I will definitely going to Juniper Village at Chatham that's where I know I will be safe and well taken care of.

Very pleasant environment, and nicely appointed. All of the staff were consistently friendly and helpful.

Our dining manager goes beyond our meals. Kris K. sat with me when a nurse needed to help someone else, Kris, stayed after hours waiting for the ambulance to make me to the hospital. He is so willing to be helpful and is so pleasant.

If a historic inn interests you, check out Juniper Village of Meadville. It retains its charm & cachet, giving your loved one a permanent address of timeless luxury. But above all is the staff, who are unfailingly kind, considerate and friendly. My mother is request was out of the ordinary, but they were willing to accommodate. The dietary service is high quality and variety.

A wonderful place for my dad to receive great care. The staff is outstanding and helpful. The food is very appealing and a good variety. Activites are offered. I would highly recommend friends for great care.

Let me begin by saying, we have visited MANY assisted living facilities throughout the country before deciding upon Juniper Village at Chatham for my father. We were blown away by everything Juniper Village has to offer. It is not just your run of the mill assisted-living home. The attention to detail and the compassion shown by the staff is what makes this place home. I have not come across one problem at this facility and my father couldn't be happier. His life is constantly filled with happiness, comfort and love and this makes my life more pleasant. Thank you Juniper Village for making aging in place,a possibility.

The community at Brookdale Spicewood Springs was our second choice. The community is nicely kept throughout. It was very nice and clean. The staff were very friendly and took the time to address all of our concerns. They were courteous and welcoming. The location was a bit further than what we wanted for our loved one.

his is a very nice community. The staff is friendly and very helpful. My mom is happy with the variety of food that is offered. Activities are offer for her to stay active with others. I would recommend this for care for a loved one.

Everything has worked out very well for my aunt here at this community. It has been a lovely experience, they are caring for her very well. The community looks great, everything is nice and clean. I'am comfortable with the care they are providing her with. This is a community I would recommend.

Interesting village concept for residents so they don't feel locked in. Well-being of residents is first. 1-6 caregiver to resident ratio. Can age in place - should not have to leave facility to move to anywhere else.

I recommend Juniper Village in Chatham, New Jersey. My mother has been living there for seven months and I have been impressed with the facility and its staff. It is a beautiful facility with elegant, well-appointed public rooms and beautifully kept private suites. Staff vacuums residents' rooms and makes their beds and takes out trash and does laundry. Handymen are available for things like repairs or setting up a TV. Private aides are available through an experienced agency that has been at Juniper for years and who work well with Juniper's own aide staff. (My mother has private aides.) Residents are issued pendants that summon a Juniper aide, so help is only a button-push away. The food is very good and the chef will always prepare an omelette, hamburger, sandwich, etc. to order if the resident doesn't want whatever is on the menu. The dining room staff are friendly and kind and greet all the residents by name. Once when I was having dinner with my mother, a resident ordered steak. When the server brought it, he immediately realized the resident wouldn't be able to manage it (because of paralysis in one hand) and he very quickly and discreetly took the plate and cut it up and brought it back, all with no remarks and no embarrassing the resident. This kindness made a big impression on me. There are numerous and varied activities for residents, including games, lectures, movie nights, cooking, documentaries, crossword and jigsaw puzzles, bridge, knitting, singing, concerts, and book club, to name a few. One thing I am very impressed with is how much the staff cares about the residents. They know if a resident hasn't come to the dining hall for a meal, for example--I have seen a nurse asking a resident who is forgetful whether she has eaten, and then gently guiding her to the dining room. The nursing staff is excellent as well. They are quick to address any physical issues the resident has, and they are fantastic about communicating with the family. If my mother asks for a nurse visit, or the nursing staff determines my mother needs blood work or medication, they call me and fill me in. I think that is very important. I would recommend Juniper Village to anyone seeking a safe, warm, caring, and attractive senior facility. (Resident's daughter)

Placing a parent in a facility is an extremely difficult decision. We decided on Wellspring after checking three other places but I could still not bring myself to make a final decision. The executive director suggested that my mother and I have lunch there to gauge her reaction. While she did not realize it was a facility, because it is so home-like; she was very positive about our lunch and the tour. That was 3.5 years ago and I am still so very thankful that there is a place like Wellspring. At each stage of dementia they have something to offer and they are excellent at problem solving and coming up with solutions as the disease progresses. They figure out how to provide her care, what she will eat, and how to keep her occupied and happy. The staff is very well trained. The residents are treated with respect and kindness by everyone and I always feel welcome and part of the family when I visit-- which is often. The activities are fun and the music program with the iPods is a big hit. There is a group singing session everyday around 4 and ice cream socials on Wednesdays. The activity calendar is packed. Dementia is a terrible disease and it is hard to watch a loved one go through it, but the help, care and support and skill-- lots of skill of the Wellspring staff makes it easier. To know that your mom is safe, well cared for, and loved is a great comfort.

My mother has been living at Wellsprings since the end of December 2015, so about half a year. Her dementia had progressed to the point that memory care was advised, and when she arrived she was coming out of rehab for a stroke. Wellsprings has turned out to be a perfect match for her. She is engaged in activities throughout the day so that she is surrounded by friendly staff and other residents. Activities range from singing, art, flower arranging, and movies, to petting companion animals and much more! This has been a great asset for our family since she enjoys activity and companionship and progressively needs help and direction to participate. At Wellsprings, the staff are sure to include her and help direct her attention while also caring for her daily needs. Everyone is trained to work with dementia and so everyone is super aware of the needs and challenges these individuals need in their daily care. On top of that, they are genuinely friendly and loving towards my mother, making her happier and making me (and our family) confident in the care she receives.
