Wesley Acres Des Moines, IA

Wesley Acres provides different levels of care, from independent apartments for seniors, to assisted living, rehabilitation, or long term health care. The assisted living lets seniors decide how much help they personally need, and staff are there to help them with everything from housekeeping to bathing. There is a great cafe in the facility, and there is an option to be on a meal plan, where you can either go to the cafe or have meals served to your room. The food is great (especially the salads!) and very reasonably priced. The staff at Wesley Acres are great, and plan outings from nights out to see musicals to week-long trips across Europe. There are always plenty of activites at Wesley Acres, from lectures, to exercise programs, movies, and more. My grandma has been living there for seven years now, and plans to spend the rest of her life there. There is a hospital just across the street, and she can change how much care she wants provided from the staff. There is a nice community feel to Wesley Acres, and the residents enjoy the opportunities to visit with their friends just down the hall. It is also a nice place to visit for friends and family of residents, whether to meet up in the cafe for a nice lunch or in the big common room right inside the entrance.

Placed my Mom here, the staff conducted a raid on her self-living apt, claiming she smoked, for which she had inconsistent treatment, then, even tho they found nothing, they still told me to spend thousands for full time private nurse or move her to a locked ward, because CORPORATE SAID. Yes, they hurt and confused my Mom when she was 90+ with these actions! I took her out and she was dead three months latter. If you think "corporate said" is the caring you want for your parent, then by all means give them your loved one and a lot of money.
