Welcome to
Wesley on Grand

“As the campus where WesleyLife began, Wesley on Grand — previously known as Wesley Acres — fully models the ‘WesleyLife Way’ of doing things, from the way we welcome new residents to our community to the very best in culinary, wellness, and lifestyle options! At Wesley on Grand, the most important thing to all of us is making sure we hire and retain the very best team members and reinforce how much they are valued and appreciated. They, in turn, will appreciate and value our residents.”
