Margaret Wagner Apartments began moving in tenants in early September 2003. Mr. Alan Jones arrived September 3rd to move into his new apartment home. As its first tenant he exclaimed “It's fabulous!” He moved to Cleveland from Virginia in 1990. Before retiring, he worked as a therapist for Community Action Against Addiction. In February he began searching for a place to live. A staff person from the Cleveland Heights Office on Aging, referred him to the newly opened Margaret Wagner Apartments. Mr. Jones, age 63, stays engaged in life and may even join Benjamin Rose's Senior Companion Program. He says that the Margaret Wagner staff is helpful and treats him with dignity and respect.

Mr. Richard Williams moved into his apartment straight from the airport where he had arrived from Florida on the afternoon of September 10th. “I couldn't find a better place!”, he shared. At age 97, Mr. Williams remains amazingly active. When asked his secret he states: “I love people!” He is currently enrolled in Concordia Care, an adult day health program located on the 1st floor of Margaret Wagner House. He spends his day involved in the many activities offered by this PACE program, co-sponsored by Benjamin Rose and MetroHealth Systems. Mr. Williams has had many careers in his past. He worked for Goodwill in the '60s and was named Goodwill Man of the Year in 1963.

We have tenants that range in age from 62 to 97, both men and women, who remain active, some even continuing to be employed! It's not what we expected based upon housing statistics! For tenants' use, there is a community room and kitchen centrally located. The housing staff has even converted one of the closed sitting rooms into a TV lounge so tenants can cheer on their favorite sporting teams. This week everyone is watching the transformation in the courtyard as the horticultural garden takes on its new design. There seems to be something for everyone's interest.
