We have only recently initiated a relationship with Juniper. I am very impressed with the entire organization. The facility is excellent (homey atmosphere), but more importantly the staff is very professional, very personable and compassionate. While I only have a week of experience, I have already seen the compassionate care these professionals provide not only to the resident, but the family. I am ever grateful

I want to comment on the food service juniper offers. They've invited me to stay to several barbecues which are wonderful the meat and the beans in the potato salad are all good. I do not think I've had a bad meal there yet and I don't expect to. I give the kitchen a 10 on the rating scale

UPDATE: My mom has gained 7 pounds since moving into Juniper Village end of February. That's 7 pounds in 2 1/2 months! My mom is thriving. The staff are amazing too. Since I visit almost every day, I've observed the caregivers and how they interact with the residents. The quality of the care provided is outstanding. They clearly have experience and training in dealing with advanced dementia cases. So patient and caring. Thanks to Maria, Annette, Daniel, Juan...and everyone...You have to be a very special person to do this kind of work.<br><br>My mom recently moved to Juniper Village at Aurora. I wanted to give a special shout-out to the kitchen manager, Eddie, and staff for preparing delicious menus and good quality food. My mom enjoys it very much. It's not the cheap pre-made, processed, overly salty, artificially sweet crap she was getting at the other facility. At Juniper Village, the meals are healthy and high quality. Homemade soup is served every day! Eating is the only activity that my mom enjoys. She is especially happy when her daughters join her and appreciate the food. "Seeing the kids fed" gives her joy. My mom looks forward to the meals and eats everything. She is one of the last to leave the dining room. I wouldn't be surprised if my mom has gained a few pounds since moving to Juniper Village. Thank you Eddie and staff, for the delicious meals. They are appreciated by the residents and guests alike.
