A Legacy of Caring Since 1914

The story of Wesley Manor began in 1914, inspired by the visionary compassion of Mrs. Elizabeth Nettelton, a Louisville milliner dedicated to the well-being of older adults. Her unexpected bequest to the Old Louisville Methodist Conference sparked a movement to provide care for those in their golden years.

In 1944, Mrs. Carrie Price of Russellville, Kentucky, continued this legacy, leaving a generous gift to establish a retirement home for Methodist ministers and their spouses. A pivotal moment came in 1958 when Mr. and Mrs. C.M. Walts donated 35 acres of picturesque land in southern Jefferson County, paving the way for a state-of-the-art Methodist retirement community. By January 1963, Wesley Manor Retirement Community opened its doors to begin delivering exceptional service across every aspect of our community and enriching the lives of those we serve.

Wesley Manor Retirement Community’s mission, as a full continuum of care retirement community, is to serve its residents and families with a dedicated and professional staff in a nurturing Christian environment.
