Juniper Village at Paramus provides senior living including assisted living and Wellspring memory care. Our active senior living community is located in Paramus, New Jersey, in Bergen County, just eight miles west of Upper Manhattan. Our community features cozy living spaces, inviting common areas, nicely landscaped walking paths, and a spacious outdoor courtyard.
We’re home to approximately 100 mature, vital adults. It is a place where our team of compassionate professionals nurture the spirit of life in each individual through Juniper’s distinctive programs that encourage active bodies, engaged minds and fulfilled spirits.
We offer award winning care and service via Juniper’s Signature Programs paired with a commitment to the belief that the keys to health aging are keeping fit and staying socially connected.
Juniper’s primary care and specialist partners began offering telemedicine in 2019, for convenience and access. During COVID, usage soared. While many older adults prefer an in-person visit, we will continue to offer telemedicine as an option.
Juniper began universal testing in April. At that time, our approach to testing was unique. Our approach to vaccination is also unique; we paired focused education with vaccination as a condition of employment. This has led to an over 95% vaccination rate across both residents and staff.
When states restricted visitation, we really had to get creative! First came window visits and virtual visits. Then we added other options – outdoor pods, backstage visits, even hug huts!
We stayed active and connected during the pandemic! Juniper partnered with LTC REIT to create a crowd-sourced site called SeniorLivingVirtual.
In-room dining only? Let’s make it special! We launched Suite Eats to provide choice and spirited service. Our Suite Eats menus offer wide selection and delivery is festive – with servers taking time to visit and set up the meal.
“Recently, the world has faced a global pandemic. The manner in which Juniper has responded to this unprecedented situation has exceeded all of my expectations. Their communications have been clear and prompt; their explanations have been clear and reassuring. The safety precautions have been thorough. Every day I receive an email update on “COVID status” in the community with helpful information. To date, they have not had one case of the virus. Over the summer, Juniper made the effort to arrange outside visits with family, while taking all necessary precautions. They didn’t have to do this extra work but they did. Although I can’t hug them (yet), it’s wonderful to visit my folks outside in the open air.”
