Recently, a group of Health Center residents enjoyed a wonderful lunch at The Urban Grill. Moments like these remind us that sharing connection and joy is at the heart of life at Wesley on Grand. Creating opportunities for residents to gather, laugh, and build meaningful relationships is something we truly value every day.

This week is Global Intergenerational Week. Our president and CEO, Rob Kretzinger, writes about why WesleyLife cares about this observance, how it informs our work, and how your efforts to connect with individuals of all ages can help combat societal prejudices toward older (and younger!) people. Please take a moment to read Rob's take on this important topic in the link below.

Intergenerational connections dispel stereotypes around aging. Our CEO discusses why this matters to WesleyLife, and why you should care, too.

We celebrated National Arbor Day a day early by welcoming students from Greenwood School to our campus! With 42 second graders and 66 third graders joining us, the courtyard was full of energy, learning, and fun.

We set up five interactive tents for the students to enjoy, including a coloring station, a scavenger hunt, Arbor Day education, a tree potting station where each child planted their own tree to take home, and a lemonade and cookie tent to top it all off.

This event was a meaningful opportunity to invest in future generations. Each student left with their own seedling—something they can nurture, watch grow, and learn from as they develop a deeper appreciation for caring for our environment.

At Wesley on Grand, intergenerational connections are at the heart of what we do. Bringing together students, residents, and team members created special moments of shared learning, laughter, and purpose. These experiences not only enrich lives today but help build understanding, respect, and connection across generations.

A big thank you to our team members and residents who volunteered their time and energy to make this event such a success. It truly reflects our commitment to creating a healthier, greener, and more connected community—for today and for the future. 🌱

Happy Earth Day! 🌎💚

Today, our incredible maintenance team, well-being team, and residents came together to clean up our campus and make a positive impact. It’s amazing what we can accomplish when we work together for something bigger than ourselves.

Every small action adds up—and today was a beautiful reminder that caring for our environment also means caring for each other.

It was a great day for some friendly competition!

The Wesley on Grand Warriors faced off against Dahl Adult Day, A WesleyLife Adult Day Center in Bean Bag Baseball—and the Wesley on Grand Warriors brought home the win! 🏆

Beyond the fun, activities like Bean Bag Baseball offer incredible benefits. Socially, it brings people together, builds friendships, reduces feelings of isolation, and creates a strong sense of community and belonging. 💛

Physically, it encourages movement, improves hand-eye coordination, supports mobility, and helps maintain strength and flexibility—all in a safe and engaging way. 💪

Amazing teamwork, great energy, and lots of fun had by all. Way to go, Warriors! 👏
