Adding Life to Years: The Wesleyan at Georgetown "The skill of science has added years to lifeâ"now we must add life to years." At the heart of The Wesleyan at Georgetown lies a profound truth: it is not just a place to liveâ"it is a home. Any meaningful narrative of The Wesleyan must begin with the people who chose to spend their later years within its walls. These women and men brought with them stories, resilience, and a deep desire for belonging. Over the years, thousands have called The Wesleyan their home, and they have done so with sincerity and pride. Few words carry the emotional weight and universal meaning of "home." At The Wesleyan, residents have repeatedly affirmed, "This is our home," and they have meant it in the fullest, most heartfelt sense. It is a place of comfort, community, and continuityâ"a sanctuary where life is not only extended but enriched. The residents of The Wesleyan are not just seniorsâ"they are survivors. Statistically, to reach the age of 78 (for men) or 83 (for women) in America is to have outlived half of one's peers. Many of The Wesleyan's residents have surpassed those milestones, having lived through decades of change, challenge, and triumph. They are part of a generation that has witnessed history and contributed to it. In the second half of the 20th century, life expectancy increased significantly. Some of those who benefited from this longevity chose to spend their extended years at The Wesleyan, drawn by its promise of peace, security, and dignity.
