Pets play a valuable role in making new friends. And one look at the well-cared for pets of Wesley Homes residents reveals a lot about the quality of life for pets as well as the neighborly culture of the community.
If you own a dog, those morning and evening walks are an important part of the daily routine – and provide an opportunity to get to know your neighbors. “People met my dog before they met me,” said Ginny Edward, owner of “Bear”, a Shithzu and one of the “Pets of North Brownstone”.

Nelson Kamithi, primary care giver, earns praise for his care and compassion
Sometimes we don’t know a good thing until we experience it. And convincing a loved one that they will enjoy the help of a home health caregiver is not easy duty if Granddad is “set in his ways”.
Janelle Ansell, a license Long Term Care Administrator, witnessed this familiar drama unfold in her own family as she watched her parents struggle to provide the support and care needed by her grandfather described by Ansell as “one tough customer.”
Wesley Homes Health Center residents received gifts yesterday as part of the Boeing Adopt a Senior program. The Boeing company adopted 130 skilled nursing residents and 40 assisted living residents. “We give them some gift ideas and Boeing employees bring something for each resident to be given to them at our Christmas parties,” said Cindy Marceyes, Activites Director. “It means so much to our residents.”
To thank the Boeing employees, we send pictures with a Thank You card to them. Wesley Homes Health Center has been a recipient of this program for at least five years. Despite the down economy, Boeing adopted more seniors this year than before providing more generous gifts.
Nordstrom at Southcenter was also generous in their donation of 80 large poinsettias to the community. “They, too, have brought great joy to everyone,” said Marceyes. The pointsettias will be used as decorations around the community and as gifts for families, residents and volunteers.

An investigation is in progress and Wesley Homes is cooperating with the Des Moines Police Department and the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS).

However, newspaper articles are necessarily broad in scope and therefore it helps to distill the information down to Read the rest of this entry »
