Theresa Dzikunu-Markham, the Enliven™ Program Director at Coventry Place, was recently presented with a California Senate Certificate of Recognition by the Community of Jewish Seniors.

She earned the prestigious honor—the Seniors Advocacy Award—during the Community of Jewish Seniors’ annual gala. The organization was founded to bring Jewish engagement to seniors through a variety of programs, including Shabbat blessings and hands-on enrichment workshops.

The Certificate of Recognition praised Theresa’s “unyielding commitment and dedication to serving the residents of Coventry Place and its Jewish community.”

Among the highlights of enriching and stimulating programs offered at Coventry Place’s memory care community are visits by a local Rabbi and intergenerational programs. For example, Rabbi Nosson Potash and his three children frequent the senior living community to entertain residents with traditional Jewish songs and Bella Ben-Shac, Program Coordinator for Community for Jewish Seniors, facilitates onsite programs such as Challah and Purim cookie making demonstrations and Shabbat services.
