Boca Raton, FL – February 17, 2026 – Toby & Leon Cooperman Sinai Residences Boca Raton hosted a heartfelt naming ceremony on Monday, February 16, celebrating the dedication of the newly enhanced Katz Family Discovery Garden, made possible through a generous gift from the Katz Foundation in honor of memory care resident Alan Katz.

Family members, residents, and Sinai leadership gathered in the Health Center courtyard to commemorate the occasion and recognize the meaningful impact of the Katz family’s philanthropy. The central courtyard, now officially named the Katz Family Discovery Garden, will serve as a vibrant and therapeutic outdoor space designed to foster engagement, connection, and joy for memory care residents and their loved ones.
Alan Katz moved into memory care at Sinai Residences in March 2025. His family selected Sinai for its exceptional memory care program and its commitment to supporting not only residents, but their families as well — ensuring loved ones remain connected, supported, and actively involved in their care journey.
“This is deeply personal for our family,” said Matthew Katz, son of Alan and founder of the Katz Foundation, during the ceremony. “Sinai Residences has had a meaningful impact on my dad’s life first and foremost, but just as importantly on my mom’s life, and therefore on my sister’s and on my own. This is an opportunity to pay it forward. I would love for my dad to see our family name outside and feel proud. This is an investment in the courtyard — to make it better for current residents and for generations to come.”
Planned enhancements to the garden over the coming months include a tranquil koi pond, a butterfly garden, and an interactive “town center mall” inspired space designed to stimulate memory, encourage socialization, and promote purposeful engagement. According to Rachel Blumberg, President & CEO of Sinai Residences, the koi pond and butterfly garden should be complete in three to six months, while the mall build out will take upwards of six to twelve months.
