Many of those assembled for the ceremony were also there for dedications of earlier phases... the original building on the site which opened in 1961, the Resler Wing in 1973, the Terrace Wing in 1975 and the Skilken Wing in 1988. The continued improvements have been marked not only by such building expansion, but also by the addition of breakthrough programs and the implementation of the newest geriatric concepts of care. But while it has been nearly 40 years since the forerunner to Wexner Heritage House opened its doors on Woodland Avenue as The Columbus Jewish Home for the Aged, the underlying level of respect for the elderly residents was as important then as today. Abe A. Wolman, first president of the Home for the Aged, said in his report to the community in September 1953, "In undertaking the responsibility of the Home, we wanted to assure the maximum happiness and well being of each resident, The high morale of the residents would indicate that we are achieving our goal. Besides the clean and comfortable quarters and excellent meals, provision is also made for the spiritual and recreational needs." Although originally established to serve the ambulatory elderly, by the late sixties a visionary Heritage House was delving into how best to provide for the chronically ill and disoriented. Over the years what is now Wexner Heritage House has continued to lead the way in caring for Columbus' elderly. But while the physical attributes have been drastically altered and new technology and innovative programs implemented as they have become available, the ad vanced senior nursing facility has stayed right on course with a mission of "Life with Dignity" for all those served. According to Gerald N. Cohn, executive vice president, Wexner Heritage Village, the new center is fully equipped and designed to meet the growing needs of a rapidly expanding elderly population. "Generous contributions by members of the local community have made it possible to create room," he said, "for what has been called one of the most extensive and innovative geriatric health care facilities in the world." In spite of the impressive new architecture, though, he is proudest of what goes on inside, stressing that what matters most is the quality of care provided to the residents and out-patients, the deserved dignity of life that is offered. "Our staff is much more impressive than the building," he said, smiling. Long after the festive weekend of activities is over, the excitement will remain ... excitement over new challenges in responding with ever-improved methods of care for the elderly who have chosen to call Wexner Heritage House home. i n \'., iL. - I »1 -3i-4 ''il
