I'll be the first to admit that most of my experiences with Wesley Manor Retirement Community have…read morebeen rather casual. In other words, I've visited residents and, in one case, visited one resident multiple times while also having the opportunity to utilize the Wesley Manor walking trail while on a Tenderness Tour awareness event in Frankfort. Wesley Manor is an 83-acre retirement campus. It's operated by a non-profit organization and associated with the United Methodist Church. Wesley Manor offers a wide range of residential options ranging from independent living to Memory Care. They have an indoor swimming pool, fitness center, a greenhouse, and even the only bowling alley in Clinton County. Wesley Manor is right next to Frankfort Commons, a golf course, and residents can golf there for free. The key friend who I had who resided at Wesley Manor began in the assisted living area before eventually moving to the skilled nursing area where she passed away. She resided at Wesley Manor quite a bit longer than most people do reside in retirement communities, but the visits I had were always positive and she was for the most part well cared for throughout her time (It likely did help that her son was quite involved). As noted, they have a walking trail that was quite wheelchair friendly even on the day I arrived when it was horridly rainy and gross. I was with my friend whose mother lived at Wesley Manor and we were able to visit (pre-Covid) without any difficulty. A visit to Wesley Manor reveals that facility quality really depends on where you're staying. There's a much older building, which is where my friend lived, while the independent living areas seem to be much newer and more up-to-date. I didn't really mind the older building, but there is little denying that it has a more institutional feeling to it. I think it speaks volumes about quality of care when someone does live for quite a while in a setting - the environment and people at Wesley Manor seemed to always be positive and empowering. As a person with a disability myself, it's always challenging because you want a setting that both honors limitations yet still believes in a person's ability. It seems like for the most part that's what happens here. I miss being able to visit here and I haven't done another event in Frankfort recently, but I remember fondly my visits here and the care and compassion shown to multiple friends. While some of the facilities are undeniably older, overall you have quality facilities and staff for those in need.
