Causes: Human Services, Seniors, Supportive Housing for Older Adults
Mission: Woodlawn is a community of independent and enriched housing with an emphasis on maintaining that independence throughout the aging process. Woodlawn commons provides a supportive environment that can be tailored to meet a resident's personal needs.
Programs: 60 independent units and 40 enriched housing units were provided to approximately 120 seniors during 2014. The wesley community as a whole has embraced a philanthropic culture. On behalf of the wesley community, management donates over 750 hours per year of their own time to local organizations to further support the not-for-profit needs in our community. We have staff members regularly contributing their own time to the alzheimer's association, the saratoga planning board, saratoga artsfest, the saratoga springs lions club, saratoga rotary, leadership saratoga and the saratoga county chamber of commerce, to name a few. Additionally, the wesley campus regularly hosts the activities and meetings of over 15 not-for-profit organizations.
the organization provides three meals per day for approximately 13,400 enriched housing resident days. The dining room also serves meals to independent residents, resident families and staff at regular menu prices. Additionally, the organization operates a cafe in an adjacent building. The cafe is open for breakfast and lunch daily and is available to all residents and staff of the wesley community. In 2014, approximately 42,500 meals were served from the cafe.
housekeeping services are provided to all 40 enriched housing units as part of their monthly rent. Independent residents may purchase housekeeping services for a nominal fee as needed.
