Investing in Nor th Mississippi’s Elders

A Pledge To Wesley Meadows

We must address this growing need in DeSoto County. The Wesley Meadows Retirement Community is nestled in a quiet 30-acre meadow in Hernando, located in one of the fastest growing counties in Mississippi. According to the University of Mississippi Medical Center MIND Center, more than 52,000 Mississippians have Alzheimer's or other forms of memory impairment. This number could double by 2030.

I N S PI RE The Maddox Foundation has made matching grants available to Wesley Meadows with challenges to raise $500,000 for the construction of a Green House Home and to also raise $500,000 for a maintenance endowment at the Community Foundation of NW Mississippi. The Maddox Foundation will match up to $500,000 for construction and $500,000 for the endowment between October 1, 2019 and April 1, 2020.

The new Green H ouse® Ho me will:

Meaningful life in a real home Elders living in a Green House® Home thrive in a familial experience. They live in a real, welcoming home not a “home-like” environment or institutional setting. Flexible routines that reflect their personal preferences set the rhythm of daily life.

Balance

Living at Wesley Meadows will be unlike any other memory support offered in North Mississippi with the new Green House® Home. Methodist Senior Services pioneered the Green House® Home concept. Our dream is to use this innovative approach for memory support – a comprehensive approach to elder living that provides long-term, intensive, specialized support for seniors experiencing forgetfulness.

Research-based outcomes Methodist Senior Services employs the Eden Alternative® Principles for memory support care. This model is backed by research and based on positive outcomes.
