Wesley Village Expands New Memory Support CommunityPhase two construction is nearly completed at Lifestyle Transitions, a specialized assisted living and memory support community on the Wesley Village Campus.

The Shelton senior living campus, which opened the memory care neighborhood in the northwest wing of their Wesley Heights Assisted Living Community in January of 2015, is adding an additional eight studio-suite apartments, a sunroom, and an enclosed outdoor courtyard. The project will be completed this summer, with apartments available this month.

Unique to Wesley Village, “Lifestyle Transitions” offers a mission-based, relationship-centered approach to care, as well as: affordable pricing, a wander-protection system, 24-hour staffing with caregivers trained by the Alzheimer’s Association, on-site physician services, engaging activities, a variety of apartment styles for individuals or couples, education and support services for residents and families, and a specialized design to maximize independence.

The community is designed to support residents with cognitive impairment by engaging them in life and activities within the larger Wesley Heights community and providing encouragement, friendship, and a feeling of security. It also focuses on developing daily routines for successfully managing individualized physical, social and cognitive challenges.

Deposits are being accepted for all apartment styles, including NEW studio-suite apartments, which will be available August 12th. For more information or to inquire about upcoming open house events, please contact Lisa Bisson at 203.225.5024.
