Key Review Excerpts

The staff at Wesley Place were amazing. Compassionate, caring, kind, professional. Everyone approached my dads situation with knowledge, understanding and encouragement.

Long-term resident's family · 2018★★★★★

When the call button was pressed, the response time was excellent - EVERY time. When questions arose, a nurse or therapist was available and willing to provide answers.

Rehab patient's family · 2026★★★★★

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the nurses and staff. They went above and beyond taking care of my mom! I live out of town and couldn’t be here all the time. They were patient and kept me updated.

The facility has a pattern of fire safety violations across multiple years, though most deficiencies appear to be corrected after citation.
