In recent years, the focus on eco-friendly living has surged, and communities across the globe are embracing sustainable practices to safeguard our environment.
Juniper Village at Washington Square is no exception. This vibrant older adult living community exemplifies a commitment to sustainability with various initiatives designed to foster an eco-friendly lifestyle, including:
Through these initiatives, Juniper Village at Washington Square exemplifies how senior living communities can adopt sustainable practices to create an eco-friendly environment while promoting the well-being of their residents.
Juniper Village at Washington Square integrates several sustainable practices to reduce its environmental footprint. The beautifully landscaped walking paths not only provide residents with scenic routes for exercise but also include a variety of native plants that support local wildlife and require less water and maintenance. This thoughtful landscaping contributes to biodiversity and conserves water resources.
Juniper continuously pilots evolving technologies to enhance the resident experience and promote sustainability. For instance, the community uses ultraviolet light sanitation with R-Zero, an eco-friendly cleaning method that reduces the need for chemical disinfectants. Additionally, the robotic porter, Servi, streamlines operations and minimizes energy consumption.
The integration of voice-first Alexa technology from Amazon offers residents a hands-free, convenient way to access information and control smart devices, thereby reducing energy use through efficient home automation.
The dining experience at Juniper Village at Washington Square stands out for its dedication to fresh, scratch-made meals that accommodate special diets. “All-day dining” offers flexibility with mealtimes, reducing food waste by allowing residents to eat according to their own schedules. The emphasis on using fresh produce not only supports local farmers but also minimizes the carbon footprint associated with food transportation.
Juniper’s Catalyst program empowers residents to live active and personalized lifestyles while supporting the Seven Dimensions of Wellness. By designing age-inclusive spaces and incorporating new technologies, the community fosters a robust environment where well-being thrives without compromising the planet’s health.
For example, the Wellspring memory care neighborhood includes environments and meaningful activities that are both beneficial for residents and mindful of ecological impact. Therapy services available onsite through Powerback Rehabilitation prevent the need for off-site visits, thereby reducing transportation emissions.
The team at Juniper is always leaning forward to “innovate for good,” making sure that our practices benefit both the residents and the environment.
From adopting advanced technologies to creating eco-friendly communal spaces, Juniper Village at Washington Square exemplifies how sustainable living can be seamlessly integrated into older adult care.
