Since moving into Wesley Willows in February 2026 we couldn’t be happier. In fact, we are content. Living here is like being in an adult sleepover camp. We have so many activities to choose from and delicious food at The Bistro you might say we’re happy campers! If you’re thinking of making a move, why wait?

Went to the open house today with a senior client of mine. Been wanting to see this pool for years. My mom lived at another local place to age 97. I so missed taking her to the pool in the years I could not travel with her. Only one sister took her to appointments. She would have gladly swam to age 97 with me.

My grandma almost died due to having an allergic reaction. When having the allergic reaction Wesley Willows stated they did not have an epipen to combat her tongue and throat swelling up . If the ambulance did not arrive on time she would have been dead due to lack of medical equipment .
