About Wesley Acres Des Moines

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Wesley Acres Des Moines delivers three primary levels of support—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—on one campus. Residents can shift among these options as their needs change, reducing the likelihood of a disruptive move later on. Each care level is designed to address specific daily-living needs while allowing individuals to retain as much independence as possible.

Beyond the core living options, the community provides a wide range of medical services. On-site professionals offer stroke care, incontinence management, ambulatory care, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. Nurses are available around the clock, and hospice services can be arranged when needed. Respite stays are accepted, and staff members are trained in diabetes management. An emergency call system is in place throughout the property, and resident- and family-counseling resources support ongoing care planning. Laundry and dry-cleaning services are also handled on site.

Accommodations vary in size and layout, but all residences include utilities and central air conditioning, and many feature cable TV, window treatments, and in-unit washers and dryers. Select units open to outdoor areas or landscaped gardens, while some common lounges include a fireplace and access to a library and computer space. Housekeeping is provided, yet not every apartment has every feature, so prospective residents should verify specific details during a tour.

The community serves three daily meals, with menus designed to meet a range of dietary needs. Residents who require specialized diets or assistance with glucose control can receive appropriate meal modifications. Meals are prepared on site and served in a communal dining area, with staff available to help anyone who needs support at mealtimes.

Daily life is supplemented by an activity center, arts and crafts sessions, yoga classes, health-and-wellness programs, social outings, and organized clubs and community groups. These activities are scheduled to encourage engagement and help residents maintain physical strength and social connections.
