The Wesleyan

Janet

I live at The Wesleyan. It's great. This is independent living. The people here are wonderful. It's a great place to be. I have an 1800-square-foot cottage. You name it, they have it. They have golf. They play beanbag baseball, and they play volleyball. They have all kinds of activities. They have book clubs, men's meetings, groups for the veterans, a women's club, an art studio, caregiver support groups, a gym, exercise classes, and a swimming pool. If you want to participate, you can do it. They have miniature golf and walking trails. It's very nice all around the community. It's well liked and a hard to get into community. There are two big buildings. We go back and forth between the two large buildings for different activities. They have a chapel because this is a Christian-based organization. We have two chaplains, who are on-hand at all times. It was hard to get in to. We waited four years. We didn't want to live in the buildings. We wanted to live in the cottage, so we had to wait for them to build them. This house is only 2-1/2 years old. It's a very good community. When you're old and forgetful, people can become irritated with you, but that never happens here. They're just very caring. The staff is great. With this pandemic, Wesleyan has been super proactive right from the beginning. Nobody had to go outside. Everybody who wanted to be fully vaccinated has been. They had the first vaccine, the second vaccine, the first booster, and the second booster. They bring in healthcare. They have healthcare here, but it's a separate entity. They gave the regular flu shots. They've been opening their clinics to the public for people who wanted to get the COVID shot and the booster shots. It's a wonderful facility. It's not home cooking, but there's nothing there that you can't eat. They have a variety of food at every meal. I have no problem with it. My husband has gained weight, and I remarked about that. Most of the men that are here have gained weight because they like the food. They're renovating the original building now. It's not even 10 years old, so they maintain. They have a maintenance crew here all the time. If you have a problem, you call, they'll come and fix it. I'm very happy here, and most of the people here are happy as well.
