Wesley Village Senior Living Community

Spring is springing up all over Wesley Village and especially in our Courtyard Area!

About ten years ago, Eagle Scout candidate Cole Derosett, now a decorated Eagle Scout, completed his community service project here at Wesley Village. With the help of fellow scouts and supportive parents, he built beautiful cedar garden boxes and plantings that have been enjoyed ever since.

As with all outdoor projects, time and weather take their toll. Recently, some of our wonderful residents rolled up their sleeves, brought their ingenuity, replaced worn posts and boards, and refreshed the soil.

Thanks to their dedicated labor, we’re looking forward to enjoying fresh herbs and vegetables — and the simple joy of gardening together — once again this season. 🌱🥕

Love arrived early at Wesley Village!
This week, baritone sensation Markel Reed flew in from New York to fill our community with warmth and romance during a special Valentine Serenade. Joined by the gifted Dr. Brock Terry at the piano, the performance captivated everyone in the room.

To top off the afternoon, Markel surprised the ladies with flowers as he serenaded them—sparking smiles, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

It’s experiences like these that show Wesley Village is anything but a typical Life Plan Community.

Come see the difference for yourself—call today to schedule your visit!

Veterans Day is a special time of celebration here at Wesley Village. Thank you, City of Wilmore, Kentucky, for routing the parade on Saturday through the campus, allowing our residents, including those in healthcare, to enjoy the display! On Tuesday, our Veterans Committee, led by Captain Dean Cook, created a fabulous program. They recognized our World War II veteran, Kedrick Flynn, and our Korean War veteran, Ed Griswold, who recently answered the call of duty to heaven. We are grateful to Colonel Tim Moore from Lamb & Lion Ministries for delivering a patriotic and inspirational message. Thank you to all who participated and helped us commemorate this momentous occasion.
