You Belong Here: Juniper’s Culture of Inclusion and Community

(October 6, 2025) Sewell, NJ - Inclusivity isn’t just a value at Juniper Village at Washington Square, it’s a lived experience. “You belong” is more than a slogan; it’s a guiding principle that shapes how communities welcome and support every resident, family member, team member, volunteer, and visitor.

This month, Juniper Communities is reflecting on the ways it intentionally cultivates a culture of belonging. Widely regarded as one of the area’s most welcoming senior living communities, Juniper’s reputation is no accident. It’s the result of a strong, values-driven culture and a consistent commitment to creating environments where individuals feel seen, heard, and respected.

Inclusivity stands as a core value across all Juniper communities. Through intentional practices and relationship-building, Juniper works to create spaces where people from all backgrounds can thrive together. The goal is not only to offer a warm welcome but to foster a deep sense of safety, support, and purpose.

While some may call it old-fashioned hospitality, Juniper takes that idea even further. The organization emphasizes personal connections, individualized services, and an appreciation for each person’s unique story and contributions.

This commitment comes to life through several key initiatives:

• Peer-to-Peer Resident Ambassadors: Residents play an active role in welcoming newcomers, helping them feel comfortable and connected from day one.
• First Impressions Program: Every visitor to a Juniper community is greeted with genuine warmth and intentional hospitality.
• SAGE Training for Leadership: Juniper’s leadership teams receive specialized training to promote inclusive practices and lead with empathy.

For Juniper Communities, inclusion is more than a goal. It’s embedded in the organization's DNA. By fostering a culture of belonging, Juniper continues to build communities where everyone has the opportunity to feel at home and reach their full potential.

Juniper Village at Washington Square is located at 120 Twon Center Boulevard, Sewell, NJ 08080. For more information, please call (856) 386-6017 or visit www.junipercommunities.com.
