The Westerly has many resources and a community spirit. Maintenance items are addressed professionally and efficiently. I really like my walk in shower with grab bars!

Wesleyan Meadows in Sheffield Village, OH
4.5

Moving to Wesleyan Meadows was the biggest decision we have made in our 63 years of marriage. We lived our home in Elyria but we were finding that the necessary responsibilities were becoming difficult for us. So after a year of looking at retirement centers, small homes, and other options, we chose the Meadows. We had the opportunity to choose from different floor plans and since we were accustomed to a fairly large kitchen, we chose a home that had just the right plan for us. We also love the views we have from our windows as we look out at a large green space behind our home and one beside us too. Although we have attached neighbors, we have a nice big yard behind and beside us. Probably the best part of living at the Meadows is the friendliness of the people and the many activities offered. Residents do not have to participate but it has been great to meet folks who share interests and have found living here as comfortable as we have. We feel that we have provided our children with the security of knowing that we will be cared for as we need assistance. We are assured that we will be provided a place at the Village if and when that need occurs. We feel that we made the right decision in finding a home that provides our needs and gives us comfort and security. It is a great place to live.
