Wesley Acres Foundation is a private, nonprofit community for seniors located at 1115 W Havens St in Mitchell, South Dakota, and it's got a long history of caring for people 62 and older who want to live on their own without all the hassle of home upkeep, and residents are responsible for their meals and apartment care, so the place suits folks who can manage daily living without outside help. The foundation runs an invitation-only grantmaking program and doesn't take unsolicited requests, and it's managed by Mel Pooley as President, Rich Platt as Director, and Tama Backlund as Secretary/Treasurer. The organization reports assets of $187,129 and a giving rate of 48.1% of assets, with one grant given recently at $90,000. Wesley Acres Foundation classifies as a 990PF and focuses on offering comfortable, safe apartments with studio layouts, and while it's close to shops, clinics, groceries, and restaurants, residents can use the Retired Senior Volunteer Program bus service for getting around town for a small fee.
Wesley Acres Foundation lists a range of care options, such as independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, nursing home services, and home care, offering residents different levels of support depending on their needs-though anyone moving in must still be able to live independently, and it doesn't provide nursing care for those who need help daily. The foundation provides meals as part of its dining services, has home care, diabetic care, incontinence care, and non-ambulatory care, with common areas set aside for activities and devotional gatherings, both on and off the property. Security and companionship matter here, with private apartments and plenty of chances for residents to come and go as they wish. The community aims to support seniors so they can enjoy life among friendly neighbors while staying close to Mitchell's businesses and events. Wesley Acres Foundation operates as an equal housing opportunity community, follows nonprofit requirements, and concentrates on funding, grants, and financials, rather than promoting any fancy amenities or programs.
