Wesley House sits along a tree-lined road in Tyler, Texas, in a red-brick building that's been there since 2013, and people usually notice the well-lit rooms and the homelike feeling as soon as they walk in, plus there are covered porches that residents like to use to sit, relax, or talk with others. The community offers 45 apartments, licensed for up to 54 people, with assisted living studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, and all have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, phones, air conditioning, furnished rooms, and high-speed internet. Wesley House supports seniors who need light to medium care, including help with daily activities, medication reminders, and personal care, and the staff handles one-person transfers for residents who aren't ambulatory. This community welcomes people with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, provides specialized memory care, and delivers both respite care for short stays and hospice care when needed.
People pay for services using private pay, social security, veteran's benefits, or private insurance, but there's also a community fee and an extra charge for a second person living in the same apartment. The staff is trained, awake, and on-site 24 hours a day, with 12-16 hour nursing care and a 24-hour emergency call system in place so there's always help available if something happens. Wesley House helps with diabetic care, monitors insulin and blood sugar, and gives support for health needs. The amenities here include indoor and outdoor common areas, walking paths, game room, library, fitness room, a well-liked beauty salon, a spa and wellness room, a full-service beauty shop, and places to sit outside or meet friends for activities or Bible study.
Meals are served three times a day with a variety of options plus snacks, which does help people not worry about cooking or cleaning up, and residents get weekly housekeeping, daily trash removal, personal laundry service, but dry-cleaning isn't included. Activities are scheduled every day by a full-time activity director, with options for exercise, crafts, games, trips, music events, church services, and learning or social programs that support both mind and body. Wesley House takes trips around town, offers free and scheduled transportation for errands and doctor's appointments, and there's parking for residents who still drive. Management is available day and night to help with needs as they arise, the community is built with safety in mind with emergency alert systems, and there's maintenance for the building and grounds to keep things comfortable. Pets such as cats and dogs are allowed, and people often comment on the quality and comfort of the rooms. Wesley House was formerly Legends Assisted Living and is now owned by Wesley Partners Senior Living. The focus here is on making daily life easier, offering round-the-clock support, and helping each person find the right kind of care and activity to suit them.
