Aging is something to celebrate — not to hide, fear, or dismiss. Yet too often, the world sends a different message.

That’s why Ageism Awareness Day matters deeply to us at WesleyLife.

Ageism isn’t just about how we treat others; it’s about how we view ourselves as we age. Every comment, assumption, or stereotype can either limit potential or open the door to possibility.

Our president and CEO, Rob Kretzinger, shares why Ageism Awareness Day, observed tomorrow, is so important to us as an organization, and how each of us can help shape a world that values every age and stage of life. Read his essay in the link below, and watch for additional content throughout the rest of October.

As we observe Ageism Awareness Day, read CEO Rob Kretzinger's take on why WesleyLife leads the charge in combating this societally acceptable "ism."

We are proud to offer Music Therapy support at WesleyLife Hospice! Pictured is Jackie one of our wonderful Music Therapists connecting with resident at Wesley on Grand.

🎶 Music does wonders for the mind, body, and spirit! From reducing stress and boosting memory to lifting our moods, the benefits of music on overall health and well-being are endless.

At Wesley on Grand, resident Barb Turner experienced those benefits firsthand as she enjoyed engaging in music. 💙 Her joy is a reminder of how powerful music can be in bringing comfort, connection, and happiness to our days.
