Wesley Heights Weekly Activities

August 9 - 15

Sunday Afternoon Drive

On Sunday, August 10th, driver Dave Segal will take you on a drive to Kent Falls State Park in Kent, CT. You will leave Wesley Heights at 1:00 pm and return at approximately 3:30 pm. If you would like to go on this drive, please sign up with the front desk (203-929-5396).

Please be Aware

It has been brought to our attention that people are receiving calls from someone stating they are from the IRS. They are being told they owe money to the IRS and are threatened that they will be arrested if they do not pay by bank wire or prepaid debit card that day. The IRS calls this the largest SCAM that have yet encountered. Please be AWARE the IRS never calls to collect debts. By law they have to send a series of letters. If you receive a call like this, hang up and notify the Shelton Police Department.
