Juniper Village at Guadalupe Riverfront

We are Lyle & Sandi: Lyle retired at age 50, 30 years of service with the U.S. Forest Service in Emergency Services (Fire, Law Enforcement and Safety). Being retired so young we traveled extensively, first by Live aboard sail boat, then Diesel motor home and now by Cruise Ship. We took thousands of photos. In our mid 70's we realized our physical health was declining and we started looking for an alternate life style. We found Juniper, got a great tour, researched Independent Living vs our house cost and decided to make the move even though we thought it was 2 years premature. In hind sight it was the right time as we were still fit enough to move and set up our 1 bedroom unit like a home. The Staff is GREAT let us make it like we wanted and were right there to repair any issues found. Adapting to the life style was easy as it's like being on a cruise ship without the motion. The full service dining rooms, grand entry, elevators, activities, movie theater, presentations, even the resident hallways look like a cruise ship with the railings and room doors down the hall. Speaking of programs, we are sharing our "Shook Loose Travel" photos, first Sunday each month in the Chapel for fellow Residents. Come and visit: Lyle & Sandi

As you can imagine, moving a parent can be stressful for you and traumatic for your parents. The rep I worked with, Alyson Mitchell, jumped through hoops to make this such a smooth process. She guided us in finding the apartment that best fit my mothers needs and even helped us find a mover that could meet the timeline my mother wanted. Move in date is a week away. My Mom is looking forward to this next chapter of her life at Juniper Village.

We were invited to a small Car Show they had for the residents. Was a wonderful thing they did, I enjoyed all the employees that I came into contact with very friendly and you could tell they loved there job. Albert Vasquez coordinated the Car Show and he did an awesome job, you can tell he loves his job and the residents.

For someone (or their family) who is looking into senior living options in the Kerrville area, I encourage you to tour Juniper. From the entrance, through the front lobby, down the hallways and in the dining rooms during meals and/or activities, you will find residents visiting and interacting with each other, staff members and outside visitors. The community offers all day dining, housekeeping, engagement programs, 24-hr monitoring and support of a clinical team. The staff work closely together in ensure a welcoming, energetic, fun-loving environment for the residents who are equally as energetic. A rehabilitative gym is on-site, allowing residents to receive therapies without needing to leave the community. Willows at Home is an internal program geared toward assisting residents with some activities of daily living such as shower assist or medication reminders, which allow residents to continue living independently. The staff puts on many programs throughout the year to keep residents engaged while also inviting members of the Kerrville community to join the fun, as the photo below shows from the 2023 Halloween Party and Haunted House. Give them a call to set up a visit or stop by if you are in the neighborhood!
