Who We Are

Celebrating nearly 80 years of service, WesleyLife operates from the belief that everyone should be able to live a life of continued growth, experience, and meaning — and to pursue joy, regardless of physical, social, or economic circumstances. The experience of aging is shaped by each person as they see it, define it, and experience it! 

Certified as a Fortune® Top 20 Best Workplace for Senior Living, we offer comprehensive health and well-being services in Iowa and Illinois through our Communities for Healthy Living and an array of home and community-based services. 

Our Mission: Guided by Christian compassion, we support the independence, health, and well-being of older adults wherever they call home.

Our Vision: To be the most dynamic and inclusive champion to revolutionize the experience of aging.
