About WesleyLife

Welcome to the WesleyLife web site! I hope that you find your online experience beneficial while you search for the services that you need.

The WesleyLife ministry began over 65 years ago as a service to aging Methodist ministers and their spouses at the Chamberlain Mansion in Des Moines. Today, nearly 10,000 older Iowans experience individualized attention from more than 1,300 passionate employees, and benefit from the holistic mind, body and spirit approach defined in the WesleyLife promise.

At WesleyLife, we believe that living a well-balanced life with attention to mind, body and spirit is essential to aging well. To that end, we offer a variety of services to encourage and enable residents to live life to the fullest. Services include: independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing and rehabilitation in one of our communities, in-home health, rehabilitative care, adult day services, hospice, and Meals on Wheels for Polk County.

At WesleyLife, we embrace aging and all its wisdom - our Christian foundation allows us to serve people of all faiths and our staff works to create a welcoming and family-friendly environment. We are guided by Christian compassion to support others as they strive to live healthy, independent and meaningful lives. Our mission and values are at the forefront of everything we do and drive us to continually strive to provide resources and opportunities that enable you to live life to the fullest - wherever you call home.

Our dedication to improving the lives of others doesn't stop outside our doors. As a nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization, WesleyLife employs its resources, staff and facilities to serve the greater community- including a $1.2 million investment for those who are unable to pay for services and more than 43,000 volunteer hours caring for aging adults.

Today, we are proud that Wesley leads the state in providing a comprehensive family of solutions for older adults and we will continue to provide innovative, quality amenities and services for decades to come.

Once again, we welcome you to the WesleyLife family.

More than 75 WesleyLife residents and team members participated in a wellness event for Senior Health and Fitness Day on June 1 at Raccoon River Park in West Des Moines. By providing residents options to maintain their physical wellness, a positive impact on mind and spiritual well-being is realized; which ultimately supports older adults' independence.
