Investing in the Future of Care
In January 2024, the Wesley Manor Retirement Community Board of Directors approved a forward-thinking Strategic Plan focused on strengthening the future of our campus. A key priority: a comprehensive refresh and renovation of our Health Care Center (HCC).
Originally opened in 1978, our Health Care Center has faithfully served residents for nearly 50 years. While our commitment to compassionate, professional care has never wavered, the physical environment is ready for meaningful updates that reflect today’s standards in skilled nursing, safety, accessibility, and resident-centered design.
In 2025, we took our first step by fully renovating our Resident Spa and installing all-new equipment to enhance the bathing experience. Now, we are moving forward with a transformational, multi-phase renovation that will modernize and elevate the entire Health Care Center.
Why We’re Renovating Now
This investment is rooted in purpose.
- Our residents deserve it.
A refreshed, thoughtfully designed environment enhances dignity, comfort, and overall quality of life. - Our team deserves it.
Updated workspaces support efficiency, collaboration, and staff well-being. - Our mission calls for it.
As a faith-based skilled nursing community, we are committed to delivering professional and dedicated care in a nurturing, Christian environment. This renovation strengthens that promise for decades to come.
A Collaborative, Expert-Led Process
For many months, we have partnered with experienced professionals who understand the complexities of renovating within an active health care setting. Every detail has been carefully planned to prioritize safety, minimize disruption, and maintain the high level of care our residents expect.
Our trusted partners include:

Construction is scheduled to begin in March 2026 and will take approximately 16-17 months, completed thoughtfully across 13 carefully coordinated phases.
