Introducing: Wesley Place!
Big changes are happening at The Methodist
Home, our specialized memory support and rehab
center, which has served older adults and their families for over a
century. We are making major interior and exterior building
renovations, while developing new, cutting edge programming to meet
the needs we see in our community. Along with these upgrades come
alliances with premier medical institutions and a focus on
continuity of care.
With these enhancements comes our new name: Wesley
Place
Through this name change we are celebrating a new direction for
our services while recognizing our legacy and history on the corner
of Foster and Glenwood Avenues. The name "Wesley" honors
John Wesley, a prominent historical figure, who is credited with
founding the Methodist movement. Coincidentally, The Methodist
Episcopal Old People's Home from our humble 1898 beginnings was
located on Wesley Street in Evanston. Finally, Wesley Wieting, a
long time board member, life trustee, and benefactor is being
recognized through this renaming.
With the New Year and our new name come great promises for the
future. We thank you for your continued partnership and look
forward to serving you and your loved ones in the days and years to
come, with the trust and care on which you have come to rely.
