Kelly, the care manager, is by far the kindest spirit I have ever met! She has made me feel at ease knowing my family member is well taken care of properly. I appreciate her tremendously! ❤️

What a beautiful campus ! I came in to look with and for my parents who are interested in the cottages or brownstone. We met with Lindsay Oliver who was extremely informative and gave us a lovely tour. The entire Wesley staff and residents were all kind and welcoming. My relatives are excited to be on the wait list and looking forward to moving into Wesley!!!!

Thank you for sending this! I especially enjoyed the video about Dr. Logan and his faith and persistence in building Wesley Homes! My husband, Jim Arthur, and I are on the waiting list for a cottage at the Des Moines community. We are excited about Wesley being our new home. The staff has been marvelous in showing us around, on several tours, and answering our many questions. The staff is caring, competent, friendly, and there are enough of them to do their jobs well! All the dozens (yes, I've talked with dozens) of residents I've talked with love living at Wesley, and all are so welcoming and friendly. Before finding Wesley, Jim and I toured numerous senior communities. Wesley is the only community that felt like home, where we would want to live. We feel God led us to Wesley, and we are so thankful. Bless you all in your work to bring joy and comfort to seniors. Liz Northrop

The new Health Center is tastefully designed with wonderful privacy and dignity features. In my profession I am in several skilled nursing facilities every week and this location has hands down the absolutly most friendly and helpful receptionist. She always knows where every staff member I'm seeking out is and is incredibly welcoming!
