CHARITABLE PROGRAMS
Wesleyan Foundation for Health and Aging
The endowment of United Methodist Homes enables us to develop innovative
programs, improve our facilities, and weather downturns in the economy.
Our current financial strength derives from many farsighted donors who
made bequests and life income gifts that built our endowment over time.
The Wesleyan Foundation for Health and Aging funds hospice care, dementia care,
resident transportation and employee education programs. It also assists
residents who lack financial and family support.
Wesleyan Foundation for Health and Aging Donor Profile
 When
Jim and Jean Stevens decided to move from their Fairfield home to a retirement
community, there was only one option – Wesley Village. “I
love the place, and I love the people,” relates Jean who has volunteered
with the United Methodist Homes Council of Friends for 15 years.
Similarly, when it came to planning a bequest to support healthcare
for seniors, they knew that the Wesleyan Foundation for Health and Aging was
a smart choice. Jim is in a great position to make this determination.
“As a resident of Wesley Village, I see firsthand how the staff
makes the extra effort to meet resident needs," he states. "And
as the retired Chair of the Wesleyan Foundation for Health and Aging, I realize how important bequests
are maintaining the quality of care and the accommodations at Wesley Village
and our other communities. We are pleased that our legacy will help ensure
that future residents benefit from the same exemplary care that we've
seen and experienced."
