Celebrating the Joys of Fall at Cohen Florence Levine Estates and Florence & Chafetz

What a jam-packed and joyful three months it has been! We kept the energy high with our Summer Concert Series — six unforgettable weeknights of live music out in the courtyard, where even Elvis made an appearance. He’s still got the moves! And, of course, we danced, sang, and celebrated with the always-wonderful Alan Labella at his monthly party — a crowd favorite we always look forward to!

To kick off the Jewish holidays, we had a special visit from the Rabbi Bronstein, who generously handed out Rosh Hashanah gifts to our residents — a thoughtful and meaningful touch as we prepared for the New Year.

Over at Florence & Chafetz, shadow boxes have been completed, each one a personal and artistic reflection of our residents’ lives and memories. The Sensory Room is also finished, offering a calming and engaging space for relaxation and stimulation.

Book Club Buzz: Our CFLE Book Club is thriving! Members just wrapped up Shelter in Place by Nora Roberts, and the discussions are lively indeed! We love seeing our book group grow and connect through the magic of stories.

Sukkot in All Its Glorious Color

Fall sets the tone for festive celebrations and special events. Our Sukkah was a beautiful sight to behold, full of seasonal charm. Residents enjoyed spending time inside, eating, socializing and reciting prayers. Lively Sukkot songs filled the room. Sukkot is one of the most joyous Jewish holidays and residents, staff and families visited often.

Safety First

We continuously educate staff and residents on safety procedures, which is why our residents recently participated in an evacuation drill. This exercise is part of our ongoing commitment to safety and preparedness.

Activities Galore!

With numerous activities, trips and events, the days are flying by. Restaurant outings, birthday celebrations, tea parties, concerts, movies and more are on the agenda. We want our residents to remain active, engaged — and happy!
