Delan was a pleasure to work with. She knew just about every detail that we asked. Very personable and more concerned with listening than with doing all the talking.

Wesley Palms is more wonderful than I and my partner ever expected it to be! Besides the gorgeous garden environment, the architecturally stunning patio homes and the delightful, caring and interesting residents, it is peaceful and rich in cultural, sport and entertaining programs. The staff is caring, responsive and welcoming. We are so very happy to call Wesley Palms home.
