Juniper Communities Expands Portfolio with Three AL/MC Properties
April 10, 2024
BLOOMFIELD, NJ — Juniper Communities has announced that it is now managing three Leisure Care senior living assisted-living and memory-care properties. The three properties are part of Columbia Pacific Advisor’s senior housing portfolio.
“These properties signify a strategic expansion for Juniper Communities in New Jersey and Delaware,” said Lynne S. Katzmann, founder/CEO of Juniper Communities.
The move adds 397 assisted-living and memory-care units, and approximately 300 associates to Juniper’s current portfolio. Juniper Communities now owns and operates 28 communities in Colorado, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Delaware.
Each of the newly acquired communities has been purpose-built to cater to the evolving needs of older adults, offering modern amenities and tech-enabled residences. Residents can enjoy wide-open indoor and outdoor spaces, state-of-the-art fitness centers, healthy dining options, art studios, and various gathering rooms for socialization, entertainment, and interactive programs.
The three new Juniper properties are:
Juniper Village at Newark: Formerly known as The Vero at Newark and built in 2023, the community is in Newark, Delaware.
Juniper Village at Hamilton: Formerly known as The Landing at Hamilton and built in 2020, the community is in Hamilton, New Jersey.
Juniper Village at Washington Square: Formerly known as The Landing of Washington Square, and constructed in 2020, this community is in Washington Township, New Jersey.
Katzmann expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, “We are focused on meeting the trend in demand towards communities that offer greater socialization, a la carte service menus, and onsite medical care — all areas in which Juniper has been an industry frontrunner.”

All three properties will feature Juniper’s Connect4Life and Catalyst programs.
Connect4Life is Juniper’s evidence-based program that integrates clinical providers, services, and communication protocols to deliver individualized, coordinated onsite healthcare. It has been proven to improve residents’ care by decreasing hospitalizations, re-hospitalizations, and urgent care visits, while offering potential cost savings to public programs such as Medicare.
Catalyst is a holistic program designed to support the seven dimensions of wellness, offering individualized tailored services and leveraging new technologies for communication and participation.
