Halcyon House-A WesleyLife Community

04/27/2026

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.

Choose a life you love, with those you love, on your own terms. Pursue joy in everything you do including social interactions, enrichment, nutrition, and physical wellness.

Halcyon House is delighted to have welcomed a new leader to the community earlier this month.

Richard Sweet-Keech joined Halcyon as executive director on April 6, bringing more than 20 years of leadership experience in services and care for older adults. His approach centers on strong relationships, supporting team members, and building systems that help both people and organizations perform at their best.

Throughout his career, Richard has strengthened quality outcomes, improved regulatory performance, and helped create environments where individuals feel safe, supported, and respected. We are so pleased he has chosen to join WesleyLife!

It was a beautiful morning for gentle stretch out on the patio ☀️

A morning filled with gratitude ☀️

Our Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast was a meaningful time of fellowship, piano music, shared prayers, and celebration. Volunteers enjoyed breakfast, mimosas, and small gifts as a token of our appreciation.

We were especially honored to dedicate memorial benches in remembrance of a treasured volunteer who passed away last year. Their spirit continues to live on throughout our campus.

Serving hearts like yours make our community whole. 🤍

🍓🌿 Shaking Things Up at Our Senior Living Campus with Libations! 🍹🍓

We loved welcoming Libations on Iowa, a local favorite bar, to our community for a fun and interactive cocktail & mocktail class!

Residents got hands‑on learning how to craft refreshing drinks — and the crowd favorite was definitely the Italian Margarita, with Strawberry Basil Mojitos coming in second. 👏

To top it all off, a beautiful charcuterie board from Circa 59 made with locally sourced ingredients added the perfect pairing to the experience.

Good drinks, great food, and even better company made for an unforgettable afternoon!
