Founded in 1986, with the development of John-Wesley Villas in
Macon, Frank and T.J. Rauls were brought up with a commitment of
services to retirees. Tyler J. Rauls, Sr., their father, made
that commitment early on when he built the first new nursing
facility in Macon, Georgia in 1957.
John-Wesley - Macon would be just the beginning of this new
concept called Assisted Living. In 1989, the company expanded
its horizons to Savannah with both Assisted Living and
Independent Living apartments.
 T.J. and Frank Rauls would then search for property in the
Atlanta area that would be in keeping with the high standards
they had set for retirement living. They were fortunate to find
Winnwood Retirement Community. The previous owner would only
agree to sell, after seeing the quality of John-Wesley
properties. Winnwood was acquired in July, 1995 and the concept
of "Retirement Living at its Finest," began in
historic Marietta.
The Rauls'
family continues their commitment of "Retirement Living
at its Finest" with the involvement of the 3rd
generation. In the fall of 2005, Winnwood Retirement
broke ground on the 95,000 square foot expansion project
of The Teem, a new Independent Residence. Pictured are:
