This place will rip you off! They have owed my family money for over 7 months now. It is one excuse after another from them. Stephanie and Michael in the business office refuse to return phone calls or give any answers. Stay away! It is not worth it the trouble!

Save yourself and family the headache this place is nasty and dirty. They definitely have bed bugs whether they disclose it truthfully or not!<br><br>Very sad situation for all who unfortunately have to reside here

This could be a great facility....unfortunately the exact opposite is true. The nursing staff is totally incompetent! The nursing care is anything but caring. They "forget" to give medication; they didn't check on a resident because there was a mix up on staffing; the list goes on. The maintenance...especially the elevators...make living there unsafe. These residents rely on wheelchairs, scooters, and walkers. They cannot do stairs. Yet the elevators in this 4 floor facility are constantly broken down....trapping these elderly residents. Elevators are unusable for months at a time. Without the elevators residents cannot get to the dining room for meals. And no one cares...no one makes sure these residents trapped in their apartments get meals. So the residents go hungry. Maintenance is non-responsive. If the elderly resident can't change their own thermostat and calls for help they will have to either freeze or swelter for days ....while they keep calling for help...until maintenance MIGHT make it to their room. This is a sad and unsafe place to live! Beware.

Wesleyan is a nice place to live. But the management and some of the staff need alot of work. When I first came here the food was good head chef Robbie was an exceptional chef. But sadly he left for some reason. And our new head chef Michael so far I am not impressed. I've been a head chef in a nursing home, and we put out better food then we are getting now. They serve to much pork which I don't eat. For religious purposes and also it's a choking hazard. It's always so dry and overcooked. Same with the white meat chicken, the grill chicken is terrible it's always so dry. These residents here deserve better food. The cafe has better food , then the rose room . I give Wesleyan 3 stars 1 for excellent nursing care Linda she's excellent and caring. Sandra she's excellent and caring. And I also give honorable mention to Jayme and Kristy are very sweet and caring. The activities are fun and Anastasia and Ryan make them fun. The hospitality and dining staff need alot of work, either train them right and weed out the bad ones. Housekeeping always clean my room and bathroom always with professionalism and attention to detail Maintenance does an okay job, they are slow to respond to work orders, I've been waiting over a month to have my Air Conditioner fixed. It's been looked at. I thought this was supposed to be a Christian based home. It doesn't feel like it. This is supposed to be my home and it just doesn't feel like it. It has changed a lot since I came here.

Absolutely terrible place! I would give zero stars if possible. The rooms are dirty and falling apart, the bed was broken, the call lights were nonfunctional, and the staff members were neglectful. My mom ended up having to call me in the middle of the night and needing EMS called to be taken to the ER. The staff acted like they didn't understand what was going on or why she felt she needed to call me. She ended up needing blood transfusions and antibiotics. If left in the care of this place I honestly don't think she would have lived through the weekend.
