Behind the Scenes at Cohen Florence Levine Estates and Florence & Chafetz

It’s been a busy few months with trips, outings, celebrations and outdoor activities. To mark the end of summer, Armando Alarcon and Anyi Guerva were named the employees of the month. They both go beyond every single day. Congratulations Armando and Anyi!

Our Employee International Food Day was a huge hit. Employees brought in a variety of foods native to their countries. They also dressed in the attire of their culture. What a wonderful event, with colorful outfits and delicious food. It was the perfect way to honor the diversity of cultures.

Rosh Hashana was a joyous time with beautifully set tables, traditional food and the opportunity to get together with family and friends. Residents helped the staff make the centerpieces using seasonal fresh flowers. They were stunning! Wishing our Jewish residents a sweet New Year full of peace and good health.

Over at Florence & Chafetz, residents are having a ball with Cathie’s carnival games activities. She has created a number of interactive games that the residents love to play. On the food front, residents enjoyed the made-to-order omelets by Richard, our beloved kitchen director. Coming up: the much anticipated Thanksgiving Dance Party. Featuring a live DJ and autumn snacks, the event promises to be festive and fun.

In honor of Assisted Living Week we had an Elvis impersonator, staff “guessing games,” Ice Cream Day, Cake Day, and a movie themed lunch showcasing the “Memoirs of a Geisha” movie. Appropriately, the kitchen served orange chicken, teriyaki chicken and lo mein. National Assisted Living Week is an annual observance that recognizes the role of assisted living in caring for seniors and people with disabilities. We applaud all our residents and staff. You are what makes our residences such a special place to live!
