Imagined in 1954 by innovative leaders of the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church and Emory University, Wesley Woods is a mission driven non-profit creating communities of connection, wellbeing and promise for older adults. With ten communities throughout North Georgia, we provide various levels of care including independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing. The Foundation of Wesley Woods serves as the connection point between the generosity of supporters in the community and the practical, life-changing work of Wesley Woods. With the support of generous benefactors, we are able to provide an innovative outcomes-based wellness program helping our residents live better and longer in their own homes. Spiritual health is a vital component of the program—each of our communities has its own chaplain. Our supporters also provide charitable care to ensure that no resident has to leave their home because they have outlived their savings.
