A History of Service
Founded in 1944, Wesley provides a network of housing and health care services for older adults in the Puget Sound region. Methodist Reverend Dr. Stanley Logan founded Wesley based on the principle that older adults should be able to age with respect and dignity. Wesley has remained true to that founding principle and is now a leader in senior housing and care services with an exemplary reputation for quality, compassion and care.

What is Wesley?
Wesley is a nonprofit organization offering retirement communities and care services for older adults. We provide vibrant, engaging living environments along with the support people may need as their health and lifestyles change.
Where are Wesley communities located?
Wesley has several campuses throughout the Puget Sound region of Washington State, including Wesley Des Moines, Wesley Lea Hill in Auburn, Wesley Bradley Park in Puyallup, and Wesley at Tehaleh in Bonney Lake, with more in development.
Is Wesley faith-based?
Yes. Wesley was founded by the United Methodist Church and maintains a faith-based heritage. We welcome people of all faiths and backgrounds. One of our values is to provide welcoming environments which embrace inclusion, diversity and respectful community.
What types of housing and care are available?
We offer a full continuum of care:
- Independent senior living accommodations
- Catered Living (similar to assisted living)
- Memory Care assisted living
- Skilled nursing and rehabilitation
- In Home Care
- Home Health & Hospice
What is the continuum of care?
At Wesley, the continuum of care means we offer multiple levels of support on one campus, so you can stay in the community you love even if your needs change. Residents may start in independent living and, if needed, transition to catered living (assisted living), memory care, or skilled nursing — all without having to move to a new community. This provides peace of mind, knowing support is available both now and in the future.
Home Care by Wesley can support residents in their homes on or off campus with daily activities such as bathing, meal preparation, and companionship.
Are pets allowed?
Yes! We know pets are family, and many of our apartments and cottages are pet-friendly.
What activities and amenities are offered?
Each campus has a wide range of amenities such as fitness centers, art studios, libraries, dining venues, salons, chapels, and outdoor walking paths. Residents also enjoy lifelong learning classes, social events, volunteer opportunities, and wellness programs.
How much does it cost to live at Wesley?
Costs vary depending on the size of the residence, the level of care, and the services included. Our team can provide a customized estimate based on your needs. Unlike many organizations, we have our pricing available to view on our website. Visit one of our community pages for this information, or contact us.
What are the entrance requirements?
Wesley welcomes adults age 62 and older who are able to live independently at the time of move-in. A simple application, medical history, and financial review are part of the process. For higher levels of care, such as catered living, memory care, or skilled nursing, additional health assessments may be required.
What’s included in the monthly fee?
Most monthly fees include utilities, maintenance, scheduled transportation, wellness programs, and access to amenities. Dining options, housekeeping, and health services are available depending on the living arrangement.
Is the entrance fee refundable?
Yes. The Entrance Deposit is refundable less a $5,000 Reservation Fee. The Entrance Deposit is applicable to independent living accommodations. It is refunded when the accommodation is vacated. There is no Entrance Deposit for Catered Living or Memory Care accommodations.
What if my health needs change?
One of the biggest advantages of Wesley is that you don’t have to move away if your needs increase. With multiple levels of care on one campus, residents can transition smoothly from independent living to catered living, memory care, or skilled nursing.
Is nursing care available 24/7?
Wesley offers 24/7 skilled nursing and long-term care at Wesley Des Moines and Wesley Lea Hill in Auburn.
What wellness resources are available?
Wesley emphasizes whole-person wellness with fitness classes, walking clubs, spiritual life programs, flexible dining program, social activities and individualized support.
What can I expect from life at a Wesley community?
Life at Wesley is vibrant, social, and supportive. You’ll enjoy welcoming neighbors, fitness and wellness programs, engaging activities, volunteer opportunities, and lifelong learning. At the same time, you’ll have the comfort of knowing that care and support are available if your needs change.
Are spiritual services available?
Yes. Each campus offers chaplaincy support, Bible studies, worship services, and interfaith opportunities, though participation is completely optional.
What are the dining options?
Wesley offers flexible dining with multiple venues on each campus. Residents can enjoy chef-prepared meals in formal dining rooms, casual bistros, and grab-and-go cafés. Meal plans vary by community and living option, giving you the choice of how often you’d like to dine with us.
