We are proud to announce that three of our communities for healthy living have been named 5-star campuses — the highest possible rating — by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Congratulations to Brio of Johnston, a WesleyLife Community in Johnston, Iowa; Edgewater-A WesleyLife Active Life Community in West Des Moines, Iowa; and Fieldstone of DeWitt, a WellSpire Community in DeWitt, Iowa; and kudos to all who played a role in earning this rating on behalf of those campuses.

Congratulations as well to our communities that were awarded 4 stars: Halcyon House-A WesleyLife Community in Washington, Iowa; Heritage House-A WesleyLife Community in Atlantic, Iowa; The Village, A WesleyLife Community in Indianola, Iowa; and Wesley on Grand in Des Moines, Iowa.

CMS created the highly regarded "star" system to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare communities more easily, using such quality measures as health outcomes and staffing to determine success. CMS considers communities with 5-star designations to be exemplary in the care they provide; 4-star communities provide care designated as "very good."

Choose WesleyLife's communities with confidence, knowing you or your family member will receive quality services from a community that helps to set the industry standard!

The Village continues to move forward with big steps in our campus redevelopment, and we’re excited to share what’s new. While construction teams are hard at work, our community life hasn’t skipped a beat—we’re still open, active, and full of energy.

• The kitchen remodel is done, passed inspection, and already being stocked and prepped by our team.

• The new long‑term and short‑term care household is coming to life as drywall installation gets underway.

• Aspen’s interior refresh is progressing floor by floor with fresh paint, skim coating, and carpet work on the way.

For a closer look at everything in motion across campus, check out our newest expansion update video here: https://watch.oneday.com/v/y7SA5sdLos

So yes—we’re building and improving, but we’re also still hosting events, welcoming visitors, and keeping things lively. Check out the activity list below and join us anytime.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that follows a seasonal pattern, most commonly occurring during the fall and winter months when natural daylight hours decrease. Reduced exposure to sunlight can disrupt the body’s internal clock, lower serotonin levels, and impact melatonin production—often leading to symptoms such as low mood, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and changes in sleep patterns.

At The Village, we recognize how essential safe, natural light exposure is to overall health and wellbeing. That’s why we recently introduced Happy Lights for both residents and team members to use throughout the day. Light therapy has been shown to help regulate mood, boost energy, and reduce symptoms associated with SAD.

It’s just one of the many ways we embrace innovative, evidence-based technology to support holistic wellbeing and help our community feel their very best all year long. ☀️

Each month, we come together to learn about the incredible members of our Village community and the communities we serve.

This month, we had the honor of featuring Amber McDonald, Sales Director.
Amber shared her experience serving on active duty with the United States Army Reserve. She first served at Fort Des Moines and later deployed to Iraq in 2003, stationed at LSA Anaconda (Balad Air Base). During her service, she was assigned to multiple military operations—and even had the unique opportunity to coordinate arrival for the USO Show, the celebrity entertainment tour on base! That’s the day she met Robin Williams, along with other memorable guests.

Thank you, Amber, for sharing your story and for your dedicated military service. 🇺🇸

Our Cedar independent living apartment building keeps climbing - the north wall has been standing strong, and now the south wall is going up!

We love seeing something new rise out of the construction zone every week — and sharing it with you has become one of our favorite Friday traditions. It’s amazing what a difference a few days can make!

If you’re curious about Cedar, the expansion, or what life is like here at The Village, we’re always happy to chat. And yes — we are taking reservations for those who want to be part of this exciting next chapter.

Enjoy your weekend! We’ll be back next Friday with whatever new magic the crew cooks up next!

At The Village, we know that “home” isn’t just a layout or a floorplan — it’s the feeling you get when you can picture your own life and your own style in the space.

Here’s a simple before‑and‑after look at how one of our assisted living apartments transform from an empty space into a home. It’s amazing how an empty room begins to feel like home once someone can imagine their favorite pieces, traditions, and comforts here.

If you would like to see this space in person or learn more about life at The Village, we would love to show you around and answer any questions. Call Amber at 515.961.0878

Linda and her Shih-poo, Muffin (a Shih Tzu–Poodle mix), are fresh from the groomer and out strutting their stuff on a stroll through The Village!

Linda has had Muffin for two years now, and the two proudly call The Village home.

Muffin has become quite the local celebrity around here, tail wagging and always eager to make new friends! 🐾🐾
