Wellness
By Dr. Dale Schultz, Chairperson,
Wesleyan Homes Board of Trustees
I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
Psalm 139:14, The Message
Wellness is about the condition of your body and soul
– your mind, too. It is about respecting and honoring
that you are marvelously made in God’s image. This
issue of The Wesleyan Window highlights this holistic understanding of
Wellness that is a vital dynamic of resident care and community life
throughout Wesleyan Homes.
Nelda Stinson and daughter Joy Boaklini get
together for the Mother’s Day Dinner at The
Wesleyan at Estrella Independent Living.
Our definition of Wellness, a person’s individual level of physical, mental,
social and spiritual vitality regardless of age or presence of disease or limiting
condition, is personalized to each resident. It guides the design of our programming to engage our residents in a variety of life-enriching
opportunities.
As you tend to your own self-care for wellness, will you please pray for the
ministry of Wesleyan Homes? Thank you for your financial gifts that help
us provide for the wellness of the senior adults entrusted to our care.

Living Well at Any Age
When I told a friend, who did not live at The Wesleyan,
that I had been asked to give a lecture on the benefits of a
wellness program, she asked, “Why have a wellness program?
Aren’t all those people old and sick?”
Eunice Blair, a retired nurse and health
educator, recognized her friend’s comment
as a commonly held misperception – one
that she and the staff at The Wesleyan
would work hard to dispel in the coming
years.
Not long after The Wesleyan at Estrella
opened in 2008, the newly formed Resident Council began to work with Life
Enrichment Director Michelle Munk to
develop a wellness program. As the first
president of the Council, Eunice worked
closely with Michelle to iron out the foundational concepts that would serve as the
cornerstones of the program.
has a keen mind, lively spirit, and wonderful sense of
humor. She’s also very attuned to what motivates seniors and
what discourages them. Eunice explained, “There are different kinds of wellness for different times in our lives. From
the beginning, the Resident Council’s goal
was ‘to encourage healthy lifestyles, through
exercise, nutrition, recreation and social
interaction.’ We wanted residents to know
that they can participate on their own
terms, and no one is going to judge them or
tell them they have to do better.
Eunice Blair holds the book,
The Gift of Years by Joan
Chittister, studied by residents
in the class Growing Old
Gracefully, which supports the
spiritual aspect of wellness.
Eunice, who had gone to nursing school
and later earned a doctorate in education,
drew on her years of experience as a health
educator to formulate a definition that included everyone.
Wellness at Wesleyan Homes is a person’s individual level of
physical, mental, social and spiritual vitality regardless of age or
presence of disease or limiting condition.
Eunice views wellness as similar to lifelong
learning. It’s an ongoing process with ongoing benefits. Recently, Eunice was asked to
fill a vacancy on the Resident Council and
she said she’d be happy to serve if she could
work on the Wellness Committee. Her philosophy is that giving is the key to living.
Wellness Throughout Our Communities
Whether is it a book study, a balance class,
a holiday celebration or a worship service,
wellness takes many forms within Wesleyan
residential communities. The Wesleyan staff
seeks to design opportunities that appeal to residents while
challenging the mind and body and nurturing social and
spiritual lives. Here are some of the ways they do that:

actions. She doesn’t just talk about wellness, she lives it. She

went to a training program and got certified by the State of
Texas to teach an advanced balance class.”

Laura Pittman, Director of Life Enrichment, is clear about
her goals: “We are here to keep our residents active – physically, mentally, socially, spiritually – whether it’s doing crafts,
playing games or going into Georgetown to stroll around
the Square.

“We have Bible Study on Tuesdays for the Assisted Living
community and on Sunday for Laurel Hall. Rev. Gary
Whitbeck, our chaplain, does a wonderful job in relating to
residents and meeting their needs. His worship services on
Wednesday and Sunday draw around 30 residents from the
47 currently living in Assisted Living. That demonstrates the
importance of the spiritual component of wellness.
“In July we started a new class called ‘Balance and Stretch’.
The residents sit in chairs for most of the exercises, but are
standing for five to ten minutes. It’s a longer, more strenuous workout, and they really feel the results.
“In Laurel Hall, our memory care community, Denise
Williams keeps the residents active. They have a devotional
at 9:30 a.m. and talk about what it means to them. At 10:00
a.m., there may be dominos, an art class or a rhythm band.
At 1 p.m., they have pet therapy or an exercise class or a
mental exercise. At 3 p.m., there is a social hour.

encouraging them to participate in whatever ways they can and finding creative activities to keep them active and engaged.”

Transitions in Aging
The Move to Independent Living: Taking Control of Your Future
For seniors, the process of moving from their home
into an independent living community starts long
before the move-in date. More than ever, it begins when seniors contemplate how they want to live as they age.
Mandy Hastings, Director of Marketing for the Wesleyan at
Estrella Independent Living, stated, “I’ve been in senior living for sixteen years and there’s been a big shift. When I
started, I usually saw adult children that were looking at
places for their parents. Now, I see more seniors going out
and researching options,
being proactive and making
the move on their own.
“Many of our new residents
have already been through
this transition with their
parents and so it’s familiar
to them. They are much
more familiar and comfortable with the idea of independent living.
“We see a lot of people who
are ready to simplify their

communities so they can

were in good shape, but as we got into our late seventies we
thought we ought to start looking for where we were going
next.
“I asked three couples who were at least five years older than
us if they had any recommendations on independent living
communities. I figured that they must have been looking
themselves. Each of them told me: ‘We’re not ready for that!
We don’t even want to think about it. What would we do
with all the stuff in our house?’
“All three couples had their
health fail in the next year.
They needed to move but
couldn’t do it themselves
and had to have their kids
come and move for them.
One lady ended up in a
place where she didn’t want
to be. My wife told me,
‘That’s not going to happen to us. We’re going to
move while we can still do
it ourselves.’
“We looked all over the

the best activities program I’ve ever seen. The administrator,
Becky Folta-May, can’t do enough for residents. Last year,
she got a call from a resident who had lost his wallet with a
lot of money in it. I happened to be in her office when she
took his call. Immediately she went up to his apartment and
helped him find it. You can’t buy that kind of caring.
“On top of that, Wesleyan Homes has the full spectrum of
services – independent living, assisted living and memory
care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, home health and hospice. Many residents realize that they are going to need assisted living later on and if you’re already living here you are
given priority when it is time to move in.
“More than anything, people need to think ahead and plan
for their future, but it’s hard to do when you’ve lived in your
own home for a long time. I encourage people to take control of their own future and move to independent living here
at Estrella. It’s one of the best decisions we ever made.”
Construction Progress
The summer is upon us and construction work
continues at The Wesleyan at Estrella. In the last
issue, we reported that we had three projects underway
including the Assisted Living expansion, Independent
Living expansion and four Cottages. We can now add to
that list the refurbishing of Laurel Hall, our memory care
community located within The Wesleyan at Estrella
Assisted Living. We have changed the look of this residential area by adding new carpet, paint, cabinets, light
fixtures and a few other features to give it a fresh look and
adjusting the layout to better serve the community.
The interior walls at The Wesleyan at Estrella Assisted
Living expansion are up and ready for texture and paint.
The final coat of stucco has been applied to the exterior
and those areas have been painted. Once we have
installed the outdoor awnings that will go over the windows, this building will look finished from the outside.
The awnings not only add appeal to the building, they
also provide shade from the Texas sun and match the
existing facility. Inside we still have to install the cabinets,
trim and carpet.
We are all excited to complete these projects and welcome the residents who will call these new spaces home.
The skywalk connecting the existing Independent Living
building to the Wendland Chapel and the residential
expansion is taking shape.
The Wesleyan at Estrella Independent Living expansion
is now in the stage of having the sheetrock placed into
the new building. All areas of the building are under a
new roof and are weather tight. The contractors have
placed stone and brick on the outside walls. The last step
on the exterior will be to apply the stucco.
The Cottages have all been framed. The wood decking
and shingles have been installed on the roofs and the
installation of underground utilities to the buildings is
underway.
The exterior of The Wesleyan at Estrella Assisted
Living expansion will be complete once the awnings
are installed.

Schola Kabugi:
New Director of Nursing Inspired by the Wesleyan Way
When Diane Malia retired after twenty-five years as
Director of Nursing at The Wesleyan at Scenic, there
were big shoes to fill. While no one could “replace” Diane,
the administrative team chose someone who had worked
with Diane, learned from her and would bring a unique
blend of experience, care for residents and a great sense of
humor to the job.
The new Director of Nursing, Schola Kabugi, had been
supervisor of San Gabriel Wing where she was much loved
and respected. Her personal journey is an inspiring testimony for all who feel called to work in healthcare.
Schola said, “You know that
old saying – ‘Pick a job you
love and you’ll never work a
day in your life.’ Ever since I
got into nursing, that’s how
I’ve felt.
“I grew up in Nairobi, Kenya,
and attended Kenyatta University where I majored in
literature and sociology. Then
I took a job for a property
maintenance firm. It wasn’t a
good fit as I knew I wanted to
be helping people. I just didn’t
know how.
myself, I must work here because everyone looks so happy.
When the Human Resource Director returned, she interviewed me and then took me to meet with Diane Malia and
the administrator. Two days later, they offered me a job. I’d
found the place I’d always hoped to be.
“Some days I would come home exhausted, yet feeling so
happy. I would say to myself, ‘I can’t believe that they pay
me to do this! While I was on the floor, I didn’t feel like it
was work. I absolutely loved it.’
“As I was working as an LVN, I looked at the RNs and once
more I thought: ‘I can do that.’ I began taking online classes
to get my pre-requisites. I
entered the nursing program at Temple College
and worked double shifts
at The Wesleyan on weekends. I became a RN

“When people come here they are amazed at the difference
at Scenic. We have good people with a great attitude, always
smiling, making the residents feel like we’re their family. I
want to cultivate that culture and keep it going.
“My goal is that we continue to offer excellent care as we’ve
done for so many years. I want to make sure that we maintain the loving spirit and compassionate care that has made
us a place like no other.”
