Mission: Wesley Woods operates several comfortable retirement communities throughout North Georgia, like St. John Towers next door, that emphasize wellness, socialization, education, and personal and spiritual fulfillment making the retirement experience healthy and fulfilling for older adults of all income levels, races, and faiths. As a not-for-profit provider, Wesley Woods provides affordable residential and health care services to older adults. Wesley Woods is different from profit-based retirement communities because they serve people rather than the bottom line.
