Wesbury United Methodist Community sits on a large 110-acre campus at 31 Park Ave in Meadville, PA, where seniors can live in cottages, apartments, or villas with features like private bathrooms, full kitchens, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, and there's even the Shryock Guest House for family visits, so folks don't have to go far from the people they care about. The place covers almost every type of senior care-Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care with a Memory Support Center that follows the Habilitation Therapy Model, short-stay rehabilitation, long-term skilled nursing, personal care, in-home care services, and supports for daily living like medication help, mental wellness programs, help with dressing and bathing, and 24-hour nursing and aides. Wesbury runs as a nonprofit, Christian community, so there are onsite chapels, regular religious services, and pastoral care if someone wants that, plus community events like the Chicken BBQ and Craft Fair, Senior Golf Scramble, and weekly activities planned by both staff and resident-run councils.
The campus features walking paths, lakes, gardens, a nature trail, a putting green for golfers, and outdoor patios for folks who like the fresh air, and there's a recreation room, arts room, library, cybercafe, beauty salon, and barber shop for people who want to stay busy or meet with friends. Special events, woodworking, card games, gardening, cooking, music programs, and things like Nintendo Wii bowling fill the days, and there are tailored programs such as Bridges Support Group, fitness classes, yoga, speech and occupational therapy visits, and memory care routines. Every meal comes from professional chefs who can handle different dietary needs, including all-day dining options and room service. The staff does background checks and drug screenings to help keep residents safe, and there are emergency alert systems, move-in support, on-site pharmacy, doctor appointment companions, and scheduled transportation for errands or outings.
Residents and families can use laundry, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and maintenance-free living, so chores don't pile up. Wesbury also makes it possible to bring some pets, park cars onsite, and have access to furnished rooms wired with cable and telephone, so staying comfortable is easier. The Thoburn Village community, Cribbs Residential Center, and Memory Support Center all have both private and shared areas, and there's a guest house for visiting family. Volunteers, foundation events, and auxiliary groups like Sunset Auxiliary help keep people involved, and there are education programs, CNA training, and resources for residents who want to learn or join in. Wesbury provides support for both long-term and short stays, with therapy and medical care on campus every day and night of the week. The campus is accredited, nonprofit, and open anytime, with Christian fellowship as an option, lots of places to gather, and spacious outdoor surroundings, so life doesn't have to slow down if you don't want it to.
