BY: Senator COMRIE

        COMMEMORATING  the 150th Anniversary of the Chapin
        Home for the Aging on May 31, 2019

  WHEREAS, It is the sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  to  recognize
institutions  which  faithfully serve the needs of the community and its
citizens with diligence and compassionate commitment  to  improving  the
quality and dignity of life in the community; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commemorate  the  150th Anniversary of the Chapin Home for the Aging, to
be celebrated at an event on Friday, May 31, 2019; and

  WHEREAS, The Chapin Home for the Aging was founded in Manhattan, New
York, in 1869, by Mrs. Edwin Chapin, wife of the celebrated  orator  and
pastor;  shortly  thereafter, 20 other dedicated women joined in the new
enterprise based on Dr. Chapin's philosophy of "What is your  need,  not
your creed."; and

  WHEREAS,  The  Chapin  Home  for  the  Aging has served the New York
City/Long Island community at its  Jamaica,  New  York,  location  since
1910; today, the 220-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility and
50-registrant Adult Day Health Care Center maintains a 5-Star CMS rating
for  both  quality  of life and quality of care for its elder community;
and

  WHEREAS, Since its inception, the Chapin  Home  for  the  Aging  has
strived  to  provide  a  true  home for the aging men and women who live
there  by  providing  serenity  and  security  which  has  always   been
envisioned as essential and appropriate to the latter part of life; and

  WHEREAS,  The  success of the Chapin Home for the Aging is in direct
correlation  to  the  efforts  of   its   Administrator/Executive   Vice
President,  Jennifer  McManaman,  Board  of  Trustees  and  staff, whose
involvement is, and always has  been,  characterized  by  an  impressive
commitment,  an  unbridled enthusiasm, and an uncompromising standard of
excellence in all  endeavors  on  behalf  of  the  institution  and  the
community it serves; and

  WHEREAS,  For  150  years,  the  Chapin  Home for the Aging has been
dedicated to helping our elderly and disabled  citizens;  this  facility
has  never  lessened  its  concern  for the dignity of every resident it
serves, or compromised its standard of  excellence  for  resident  care;
now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Chapin Home for  the  Aging  on
May 31, 2019; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted  to   Jennifer   McManaman,   Administrator/Executive   Vice
President, Chapin Home for the Aging.
