Hoot & Vicki Watson

To Krista, Executive Director, and the entire care team,
Our family would like to express our deepest gratitude for the exceptional
care, kindness, and compassion you showed our mother during her time with
You.

Although Mom was with you for only a short time before her passing, the
difference your team made was extraordinary. Over the past four-plus years,
she lived in five different assisted living communities in Ohio, Florida, and
Texas. Without question, yours was the finest.

From the moment Mom arrived, your staff treated her with dignity, warmth,
and genuine compassion. Every caregiver, nurse, housekeeper, dining staff
member, and team member made her feel respected and cared for. They also
extended that same kindness to our family during a very difficult time.

Please know how much we appreciate the culture of excellence you have
created. Your leadership is reflected in every member of your team, and it is
clear they care not only for their residents but also for one another. That kind
of environment cannot be created by chance – it is built by people who lead
with compassion and purpose.

While we wish Mom could have enjoyed your community longer, we are
deeply thankful that her final days were spent surrounded by such caring and
dedicated people.

Please share our sincere thanks with every member of your team. You gave
Mom comfort, dignity, and peace, and you gave our family the priceless gift
of knowing she was truly cared for.

Wesley House Assisted Living is truly a blessing for seniors and their families. From the very
beginning, we have been surrounded by kindness, compassion, and genuine care. This is so much more
than an assisted living facility—it is a loving community where every resident is treated with dignity,
respect, and like a member of the family.

The staff are extraordinary. Their dedication, patience, and heartfelt commitment to each resident are
evident in everything they do. They take the time to know each person, offering not only exceptional
care but also friendship, encouragement, and love.

The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the inside is warm, inviting, and feels like home. The meals
are enjoyable, and there are so many wonderful activities that keep residents engaged, active, and
connected. It’s clear that every effort is made to bring joy and purpose to each day.

What gives our family the greatest peace of mind is knowing that Wesley House is exceptionally well
managed and always places the health, safety, and well-being of every resident first. The staff work
together to ensure each person receives the personalized care and medical support they need while
honoring their independence and individuality.

If you are searching for a place where your loved one will be genuinely loved, respected, and cared for,
I wholeheartedly recommend Wesley House Assisted Living. Your loved one won’t just become another
resident—they’ll become part of a family. And as a family member and advocate, you’ll feel welcomed,
supported, and cared for every step of the way.

We are deeply grateful for the love and compassion shown every day. Thank you, Wesley House, for
making such a meaningful difference in the lives of your residents and their families.

For over 12 years, my mother has called Wesley House assisted living facility her home, and during that
time, the staff has become like part of our family. They have been there for her through good days and
hard days, always with compassion and respect. I’ve watched them celebrate her small victories, comfort
her when she’s struggling, and treat her with the same tenderness they would give their own loved ones.
Knowing she is surrounded by people who truly care has allowed our family to breathe easier and trust

that she is exactly where she needs to be. Atlanta, TX is blessed to have Wesley House as part of our
community and we are forever grateful for the care they give my mother.

Tracy M. Johnson

I would highly recommend Wesley House Senior Living Facility if you are searching for a
quality place of residence for yourself or your special loved one. My Mother moved to Wesley
House in 2023 at 90 yrs old and absolutely loves it. She has made many new friends and is
constantly involved in activities with them such as bingo, arts and crafts, exercise classes and
other forms of entertainment. The apartments are nice, roomy and are designed specifically
with a senior resident in mind. My Mother is afforded the freedom and independence she’s
used to having with the help she sometimes requires at her age. She often wonders why she
waited so long to become a part of this special family of residents.

The staff is well trained, kind and courteous, very a en ve and truly care about each
and every resident there. They will ensure that your loved one will receive the assistance they
need whenever they need it. They treat every resident like family and care for them with love,
respect and dignity.

If you are in need of an exceptional facility that truly cares, then I would suggest a visit to
a Wesley House Senior Living Facility. I think you’ll agree that it’s a home away from home.

Kim Miller

Transitioning to an assisted living facility is an emotional and stressful decision, but Wesley House has
truly exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, Mrs. Hill and her staff made us feel
welcome and treated my family member with kindness, compassion and respect. The facility is always
clean, beautifully maintained and the meals are good. I am so grateful for the exceptional care they
provide every day. I highly recommend Wesley House to anyone looking for a safe, loving and
supportive home for their love one.

Janet & Julie

There is no better place for our mother than Wesley House of Gainesville. The staff
is truly invested in providing a safe, inclusive family environment. The care
provided goes above and beyond what we could have ever expected. The residents
can participate in games, crafts, devotionals and many other activities. They often
get visitors from the community and area Churches. We would definitely
recommend Wesley House to anyone looking for a home for their loved ones.

Pepper McClain

When it came time for my father to leave the home he had lived in for so many years, he
was understandably reluctant. It was a difficult decision for all of us. From the moment he
arrived at Wesley House, however, the kindness, patience, and compassion of the staff
helped make the transition much easier than we ever imagined.

As his family, we know he enjoys three meals a day, receives assistance with his
medications and any care he may need. This has given us an incredible sense of peace.
Most importantly, we know he is safe, respected, and surrounded by people who truly care
about him.

We are deeply grateful for the love and support Wesley House has shown our father. It has
become so much more than a place for him to live – it has become a place he now calls
home. We couldn’t be more thankful for the care and compassion he receives every day.

Mack Barnhart

My daughters wanted to make sure I would be safe, cared for, and happy, so they took the
time to research several senior living communities. They found that Wesley House had a
caring, loving staff and felt it would be the perfect place for me. With their encouragement,
I made the move, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with kindness and compassion. The
accommodations are warm, comfortable and truly feels like home. What makes Wesley
House so special is the people. The staff are always cheerful, attentive and quick to help
whenever I need anything. Their love and genuine concern for the residents are evident
every single day.

Moving here has given me peace of mind, wonderful friendships, and a place where I feel
valued and cared for. I am truly happy at Wesley House, and I believe anyone looking for a
loving place to call home would be happy here too.

Donna Rehm

When I realized I no longer felt safe living alone at my home, I knew it was time to make a
change. Choosing Wesley House was one of the best decisions I’ve made.
From the administration to housekeeping, laundry, maintenance, and the caregivers,
everyone has been kind, caring, and helpful. The staff goes above and beyond, checking on
us throughout the day and making sure we know about meals, activities and anything else
we may need to know.

One of my favorite things about living here is the wonderful group of residents. I’ve made
so many friends, and it’s comforting to be surrounded by positive, fun people who have
chosen Wesley House for this chapter of their lives.

I truly feel cared for, respected, and valued every day. The attention and kindness from the
staff make me feel like a queen. I am so thankful to call Wesley House my home.

Mikki Jones

After suffering a life altering stroke during heart valve replacement surgery in 2021,
my Mother found her new “forever” home at Wesley House Gainesville. From our very
first tour of the facility, we felt welcome and “wanted” and we felt such relief that
we were able to secure a room! Immediately we understood what an absolute
Godsend that this beautiful facility was!! The building itself was beautifully
decorated with sophisticated touches, and was immaculately clean, well maintained,
and offered it’s residents a host of amenities. The room my Mother would be moving
into was absolutely perfect for her. We couldn’t have been more impressed at that
Point!

Four years and nine months later, the facility is just as impressive as the first day we
walked in. The level of care has also stayed true and through many challenges with
my Mother’s physical condition, I can honestly say that there is no other place that !
would want her to be! She has been given such loving, accommodating and adaptive
care, with every concern being heard and addressed. The level of understanding and
compassion she has received throughout her years here is second to none in my
opinion. We have been in other facilities with both my Mother and Dad, and truly, !
have never seen or FELT the love that is shown here for my Mother. This amazing
Wesley House staff loves their residents like family….I witness it daily!
In short, I can only praise Wesley House Gainesville, along with it’s directors, techs,
aides, kitchen, maintenance, laundry, housekeeping, etc.! There are so many names I
could include among the staff whom we have developed precious bonds with,
however the list would indeed be very long. There is something very, VERY special
about this place and I’m so very grateful we found it! From the bottom of my heart,
Thank You, Wesley House Gainesville!

Jackie and Cindy Carter

In October 2023 we decided to sell our house in Trenton , Tx and move to a 55+ community. We had
been looking for a while but couldn’t find the small town atmosphere that we were looking for.
One day we were in Bonham shopping and saw the sign about Wesley House Cottages and decided to
check them out.

Bottom line “THE BEST DECISION WE HAVE EVER MADE!”
Great location for travel, shopping, and neighborhood atmosphere.
Great management and worry free living.
Should have made this move sooner.

Angela Wolfe

My name is Angela Wolfe. At the end of March 2025, I transferred my mother, Norma Richardson,
from Traditions Senior Living in Sherman, Texas, to Wesley House in Bonham. Although moving her
at her age was a difficult decision, it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
From my very first visit and meeting Shayla, I knew Wesley House would become home for my
mother.

After living there for over a year, my mother suffered a fall and fractured her hip while I was returning
from a much-needed seven-day vacation. I later learned how lovingly everyone cared for her while I
was away. Ann McKinney faithfully visited, prayed with my mother, and checked on her daily before
her fall. I was also told the staff frequently looked in on her. As a very protective and hands-on
daughter, knowing she was surrounded by such genuine care gave me tremendous peace.
Wesley House went above and beyond anything I have experienced. As a Christian, the only way I
can describe it is that it felt as though heaven touched earth. Every employee I encountered—past and
present—treated my mother and me like family. Genuine kindness and compassion are rare today, yet
they seemed to define the culture at Wesley House.

The staff consistently demonstrated exceptional attentiveness. Ron, the maintenance supervisor,
noticed my backup lights were not working and took the time to tell me before I left. On another
occasion, a member of the kitchen staff noticed fluid where I had parked and wanted to make sure my
vehicle was safe before I drove away. Thankfully it wasn’t my car, but her concern meant so much.
The medication technicians were outstanding. They patiently answered questions, helped my mother
take her medications, and adapted to her needs. Riley, despite being relatively new, impressed me with
her professionalism, gentleness, and initiative. One day she even cleaned my mother’s room simply
because she felt it needed freshening. Jamie often worked nights and always found time to sit with us,
check on my mother, and make her laugh. Amber provided calm, steady, dependable care that allowed
me to relax and focus on spending meaningful time with my mother rather than worrying about her
well-being.

No facility is perfect, and minor issues occasionally arose, but what impressed me most was that
concerns were addressed promptly and respectfully. Communication was excellent. The staff regularly
updated me when I was away, allowing me to anticipate my mother’s needs before arriving.
I also appreciated how Wesley House celebrated birthdays, encouraged participation in activities, and
created a welcoming environment for every resident, regardless of their ability to participate. The
facility provides comfortable gathering spaces, outdoor areas, quality meals, and the ability to
transition residents to memory care when their needs change.

Shayla is one of the finest administrators I have ever met. She leads by example, remains
approachable, and is deeply invested in both her residents and her staff. She responded to my concerns
even after hours and consistently demonstrated compassion far beyond what anyone could reasonably
expect. Her leadership is clearly reflected throughout the entire team. It is evident that this is more
than a job for them—it is a calling.

I sincerely hope Wesley House recognizes and invests in employees like these. Retaining
compassionate, experienced staff is one of the greatest gifts you can give your residents and their
families.

I recommend Wesley House without hesitation to anyone searching for assisted living. During one of
the most difficult seasons of my life, your team provided not only excellent care for my mother but
also comfort, reassurance, and support for me. That is something I will never forget.

Thank you for everything you did for my mother and for our family. My gratitude is beyond words.

Beth Mcintosh

For eight years, our mother has lived at the Wesley House (originally The Woodmoore), in Bonham,
Texas. For eight years, she has been surrounded with pure love and absolutely wonderful care. From the
beginning, mother has been respected and treated with kindness by ALL the employees. She truly loves
the staff members, and she will tell anyone that this is the best place for her to live, since she can’t be in
her own home. She, and we, her daughters, are so thankful that mother has a place where she can live as
safely and independently as possible, while having her own space, with her
own furniture and treasures. The Wesley House is a special place, and we are so grateful that mother is
able to call this home. At 93, feeling safe and loved is a very important feeling, and that is exactly how we
all feel about The Wesley House!

Sherry Carson

We moved my dad from another city to be closer to us. We were very fortunate to get into
Wesley House. This was a big move and adjustment, but from day one the entire staff has gone
above and beyond to make sure he is comfortable, taken care of and well-loved. This continues
daily. Every staff member is amazing, trustworthy, and truly cares for each resident, they are
the best.

We cannot say enough great things about Wesley House, from the beautiful building and decor
to the amazing staff. I no longer worry about my dad, he’s happy and safe.

L.L.

I have been at Wesley House Gainesville for almost 2 years. I consider this to be
my “home away from home”. We have our own living quarters. We can be social,
or we can stay “home”. We have no pressure to do everything on our daily
schedule, it’s our choice. It’s a very busy community. We are served 3 meals a
day, our laundry is done for us, and our rooms are kept beautifully clean by
housekeeping. The staff is excellent and love each of us just as we were their very
own family members. We are a BIG family here. I know that it’s not best for me
to live alone any longer; therefore, I know I am exactly where I need to be and so
happy about that.

M. Katz

We looked all over the Lindale/Mineola/Tyler area before choosing this beautiful facility. The staff are
very caring and compassionate. They keep us busy as we want to be with music, games and events. And,
the food is good!

Jamie Fizer

Amazing building with amazing staff! They go above and beyond for their residents and their families. If
you are looking for a place for your loved one to be and to know they will be cared for like you would,
this is the place.

Makiah Martin

Wonderful staff, clean facility, and excellent care. They truly treat residents like family. Highly
recommend!

DeAngela Pettigrew

Beautiful facility, wonderful staff and great care!

LaWanda Crews

Wesley House is a wonderful facility. They truly care about their residents, it’s like family. It is well
staffed and always spotless. Everyone that works there is so kind and professional.

Jan Miller

My mother had a wonderful experience at Wesley House. The management & staff were attentive & kind.
She was treated with dignity & respect. During her final days, the entire staff was amazing. They treated
my family like their own family. We are so thankful to Julie & her entire staff.

Traci W

One year ago, I brought my Mom to Wesley Oaks Memory Care. Although it was scary for both of us,
the staff were fabulous and addressed all of my questions and concerns. They care and show
compassion to each resident. The facility and grounds are beautiful and peaceful. Mom loves all the
meals and snacks. Even as her health declines, they have held activities that she is able to join. The
staff responds to residents’ needs when unique situations arise – like saving a plate of food because
Mom now sleeps through meals. I trust Mom is well taken care of and I’m always called right away if
there are any issues. Overall, the staff is respectful and treat Mom like the person she was before
dementia.

Dorothy Weir

Our family is incredibly grateful for the compassionate care Dorothy has received at Wesley House
Memory Care. From the moment she became a resident, the staff has treated her with genuine
kindness, dignity, and respect.

What has impressed us most is that they don’t simply provide care—they build relationships. Every
member of the team seems to know Dorothy as a person, not just as a resident. They are patient,
attentive, and consistently go the extra mile to make her feel safe, comfortable, and valued. It truly
feels as though they care for her the way they would care for one of their own family members.
Knowing that Dorothy is surrounded by people who are not only highly capable but also deeply
compassionate has given our family tremendous peace of mind. Their professionalism, warmth, and
dedication are evident every day, and we never take that for granted.

Memory care is about so much more than meeting physical needs. It requires patience, understanding,
empathy, and love—and the staff at Wesley House demonstrates those qualities every single day.
We sincerely appreciate everything they do for Dorothy and for our family. We would wholeheartedly
recommend Wesley House Memory Care to anyone looking for a place where their loved one will be
treated with exceptional care, respect, and genuine compassion.
