Wesley House of Gainesville provides assisted-living care designed for residents who need help with daily tasks yet wish to retain as much independence as possible. Staff members are trained to monitor and manage diabetes, including routine blood-glucose checks, insulin administration, and meal planning that aligns with physician directives. Round-the-clock availability means residents with diabetes receive prompt attention if levels fluctuate, and regular coordination with outside medical providers helps keep treatment plans current.
Beyond diabetes management, the team offers medication oversight, mobility assistance, bathing and grooming help, and scheduled wellness checks. Care plans are reviewed regularly with families and physicians to adjust support as conditions change. Emergency call systems are in place throughout the building, and transportation arrangements can be made for off-site medical appointments, therapy sessions, or specialist visits.
Accommodations range from ground-floor studios to larger units with kitchenettes, garden views, and private patios or balconies. All living spaces are air conditioned, and many include wheelchair-accessible showers, but not every unit offers every feature listed. Common areas such as the library, computer center, central fireplace lounge, and outdoor patio give residents options for quiet reading, internet use, or casual conversation. Resident and visitor parking, uncovered parking, and Wi-Fi are available, while cats are welcome per community guidelines.
Dining follows a restaurant-style service model with three daily meals, and the kitchen can prepare pureed selections when needed. Menus rotate to include international cuisine, and guest meals can be arranged for visiting family. Residents may request room service, and planned BBQs or picnics are scheduled when weather allows.
Daily life is rounded out by an arts and crafts center, raised garden beds, a game room, and a movie or theater room. The calendar includes Bible study, bridge club, stretching classes, dances, intergenerational programs, on-site and off-site activities, holiday parties, community service projects, a walking club, current events discussions, happy hour, book club, yoga or chair yoga, trivia competitions, educational talks, art classes, cards and pinochle, birthday celebrations, day trips, live music, and performances by resident musicians.
