About Wesley Place on Honeysuckle
A Legacy of Enriching Lives Every Day
Wesley Manor has been a respected, hometown name in Dothan for nearly five decades. Generations of families have entrusted their loved ones to our excellent care and faith-based loving kindness and referred us to their friends. A new era began in 2016 with a renovation and a name change to Wesley Place on Honeysuckle. Our feel-like-family legacy continues today in a place that's modernized, fresh and innovative.
Extensive community-wide renovations, the addition of The Rehab Inn and a unique model of care encourages a lifestyle as special as each individual who lives here. As the first community in Alabama to transition to the innovative household model, we are changing the way people experience all levels of care-enhanced living.
Much is new and different, yet everything well-loved and familiar is still here. Backed by Methodist Homes of Alabama & Northwest Florida, Wesley Place on Honeysuckle is managed by a non-profit board of directors known for an emphasis on financial stability and staffed by dedicated, friendly professionals, many of whom have been here for years.
