Spot-on! Our meeting with Amy Bassett was informative, productive and a just plain pleasant experience.

Wesley on Grand is a horrible place. They do everything as cheaply as possible while charging ridiculous prices to the tenants. They have a cockroach infestation. Mushrooms growing out of the walls. Health Inspectors dream come true. They write on their website that they support their team members but are constantly firing associates & fight unemployment. No regard for others or their families. I would stay far away from this business. Nothing about this business shows examples of Christian living.

My husband and I found Amy very informative and helpful with our visit at Wesley. The facility felt warm and inviting. I was impressed how happy and outgoing the residents were. We are considering Westley as a place to live

My husband received good care from the team. There were things beyond their control that were very disappointing. There is no diabetic menu available. Desserts were encouraged in the dining area even if not ordered when the menu was completed. Several times in the evening when I was visiting him, his blood sugar was in the 400s. Twice it was in the 500s, although it was usually in the upper 300s. They cut back his long acting insulin from what the endocrinologist had prescribed. His medications were ordered from a pharmacy that was out of network, thus incurring a charge of $1500 over a time period of 6 weeks. I would not return my diabetic husband to that facility.

We recently received a tour of the Wesley on Grand facility with Amy Bassett this week. We were already familiar with the facility as my parents currently live there but we had not seen all the extra perks that this facility provides such as the pool and weight rooms to name just a couple. Amy did an amazing job listening to our future needs as well as give us different living options we might be interested in and thoroughly explained everything included with the monthly fees. You can tell Amy loves being part of this community and it shows with her enthusiasm talking to prospective new residents. Thanks Amy for taking such good care of us.
