  About Weissman Day Center at Menorah Life:
  Weissman Day Center offers affordable, quality care in a safe and compassionate environment. The day center provides an engaging program that promotes the well-being of the whole person. Activities include daily exercises, arts & crafts, food programs, cognitive games, entertainment, pet therapy, etc. Participants benefit from diverse programming that caters to the various stages of social, physical, mental, and spiritual needs they may have.
  
  The program also benefits our care providers by offering respite during the day (reduction in stress: mentally, physically and financially), family meetings and support groups (increased support and communication), community outreach (improved coordination and communication between family members and LTC), decrease in current support costs (opportunity for increased savings for future care), and preservation of one's promise/ familial obligation (prolong the necessity for LTC).
  
  Most important of all, at the end of the day, your loved one comes home to you. We look forward to serving the community and keeping those entrusted to our care, happy, active, & safe. Learn more

  Get ready for one of the most fun and festive events of the year! We invite you to join us for an evening filled with holiday cheer and the chance to connect with fellow BLS Pinellas Chapter members. Please RSVP to let us know if you will be attending so we may better plan the arrangements.

  Dress code or lack of one is business casual, but with a holiday twist! Think 'business on the bottom, party on the top' – or vice versa! Feel free to jazz things up with cocktail attire, jingle bells, twinkling lights, or even a fun holiday-themed t-shirt. And for those brave souls willing to battle the Florida heat, dust off that ugly sweater and show off your holiday spirit! Let's make this a festive and memorable occasion!
  

  But that’s not all! We’ll be giving away some exciting door prizes, and we encourage you to bring your own to share, adding to the festive spirit of the evening.
