Wesley Ridge

Wesley Ridge sits within the Blacklick Metro Park and has a friendly, comfortable feel for seniors who want to enjoy life at their own pace, and the community has everything from independent living in Ridge Homes and Parkside apartments to assisted living, skilled nursing, memory support called English Garden, adult day care, rehab, and respite care with around-the-clock staff. Residents can stay active in the Harcum Fitness & Aquatic Center, which has an indoor pool with a lift, fitness machines like treadmills and ellipticals, and classes with a certified personal trainer for both body and mind wellness, and there's a bright art room where people work on crafts or painting, a library and computer room for reading or connecting with others, and a game room with billiards and table games for fun with friends. There's a chapel with beautiful stained-glass windows offering spiritual reflection and a faith-based support system led by a Chaplain, plus a variety of private and communal dining rooms, including a cozy bistro, an ice cream parlor, and even an inviting dining area with soft lighting-meals are cooked on-site and residents eat together daily. The grounds give a sense of peace and there's a garden area, a general store, and spots to sit by the fireplace or outdoors, while each apartment or home has safety and privacy features, full kitchens, laundry hookups, ground-floor plans, and larger bathrooms so seniors can live as independently as they're able, and there's help with laundry, cleaning, and maintenance too. The staff monitor health 24 hours a day and provide medication administration, emergency pendants, help with daily needs like bathing or dressing, and support for those with memory loss, while also offering clinics, x-rays, speech therapy, physical and occupational therapy, and regular visits from doctors and nurses. Resident life at Wesley Ridge includes social, recreational, spiritual, educational, and cultural events, from annual catered gatherings that have included a 24-year anniversary party to regular wellness programs, Q&A sessions with the head chef, volunteer opportunities, and a community portal for sharing news. Residents have Wi-Fi across the campus, guest accommodations for visiting family, weekly housekeeping, and a concierge to help with daily needs or schedules, and everyone has access to the chapel, art studio, bistro, beauty salon, and all the common areas. Wesley Ridge encourages making new friends, pursuing hobbies, enjoying meals together, and using all their resources to maximize quality of life, supporting independence but offering care when it's needed, plus there are special contracts for healthcare days and adult day care, and the Methodist ElderCare Life Center Adult Day Care Program provides structured support for those who want to stay active but need a little extra help during the day.
