No. WesleyLife supports older adults in the Des Moines area, no matter where they call home. Our home-based services, including home care, palliative care, hospice, and Meals on Wheels, are available to anyone in Polk County and the surrounding Des Moines metro. These services are designed to empower your independence in your current home, whether that’s a private residence or on a WesleyLife campus.

Located on the Wesley on Grand campus, Dahl Adult Day offers a safe, engaging environment during working hours for adults with dementia or similar challenges. Participants enjoy enriching experiences, nutritious meals, and social interaction, providing family caregivers with much-needed respite and peace of mind.

While all WesleyLife communities share a vision to revolutionize the experience of aging and a commitment to high-quality care, each of our Des Moines area campuses offers a distinct setting, architectural style, floor plans, dining options, and amenities. Plus, in each community, you’ll find a unique culture and social calendar shaped by residents and team members.

Our Des Moines communities typically operate on an entry-fee model. This involves a one-time up-front payment that serves to lower your ongoing monthly service fees. Additionally, all residents are protected by The WesleyLife Promise, a guarantee that if you deplete your financial resources through no fault of your own, you will never be asked to leave your home or experience a reduction in care.

Edgewater, Wesley on Grand, Brio of Johnston, and The Village all offer a full continuum of care — including independent living, assisted living, memory support, short-term rehabilitation, and long-term care — on a single campus. If your needs evolve, you can transition seamlessly between levels of support while continuing to enjoy the campus and neighbors that have become dear to you.
