Pursue Your Joy

At WesleyLife, we believe the value of aging is becoming who you were meant to be. We're revolutionizing the aging experience in the pursuit of joy. We are growing older, yes — but more importantly, we are growing whole.

Where do you find your joy?

We find joy in our families, our friends, our communities, and ourselves. Joy is unique to each individual who experiences it. WesleyLife creates opportunities to pursue joy by connecting with the strengths, dreams, and goals of each person we serve. Here are some snapshots of the joy we experience.

"Surround yourself with people that know more than you do."

Connie Wimer

"I don't think of myself as old, I just think of myself as someone who still has something to offer."

Suku Radia

"I'm a retired banker, a boring banker maybe, but not exactly because I'm interested in a lot of things."

Joyce Chapman

"I just think there's joy all around us, but I think that it's taken me a lifetime to see more of it, perhaps."

Trudy Hurd

"I'm starting to understand, I can't climb Kilimanjaro anymore, but that's ok, I can take a walk around the park."

We are revolutionizing the experience of aging.

At WesleyLife, we believe in dynamic, inclusive communities in which all older adults thrive. The quality of a joyous life can be measured by the good we do for the world. Why do we say "with joy"? Put simply, the purest experience of joy is living a life full of love — for our family, our friends, our community, and ourselves.

We are transforming the lives of older adults.

We ensure our services and experiences are not defined by age but by individual ability, purposeful living, holistic well-being, and opportunities to experience joy. At any age, you can live purposeful life and pursue a joyful life.

We are setting a new standard in joyful living.

Aging is shaped by each person, as they see it and define it. To demonstrate our commitment to and passion for this belief, we have taken up the torch to be the most dynamic and inclusive champion in revolutionizing the experience of aging. 

How do we measure the pursuit of joy?
