Winter 2026 Activities, Trips & Highlights

January 26, 2026

Florida PACE Centers is more than a health plan and medical care. It is a place where South Florida seniors can share stories, make new friends, and truly feel at home.

FLORIDA PACE CENTERS WESTCHESTER

The holiday spirit was in full swing at Florida PACE Centers Westchester as participants gathered for an afternoon of making gingerbread houses. During this activity, participants practiced important fine motor skills through grasping, pinching, and carefully placing small decorative items on their gingerbread houses. These movements help support hand strength and dexterity that are essential for everyday tasks, making the activity both enjoyable and beneficial for functional wellness.

Beyond the physical benefits, the event provided a wonderful boost to mental health and social connection as participants shared ideas and laughed together in a festive setting. Reflecting on the importance of these gatherings, Personal Care Attendant Tamara Tabares Caballero shared, “Fun activities like this make a big impact on hand strength, focus, and social connection, while also bringing extra joy and togetherness during the holidays.”
