About Us

Here, every day is an opportunity to explore, grow, and live with intention surrounded by people and a place that bring your vision of life to reality.

Givens Aldersgate is not one place, but many. Throughout our hundreds of acres of campus and 75+ year history, Givens Aldersgate continues to evolve, just like the residents and communities we honor and serve.

We celebrate our Methodist tradition while welcoming the present, building toward the future with bridges between generations, faiths, sexual identities, races, and cultures.

Givens Aldersgate is an intricate weaving of many people, ideas, and interests in one idyllic 230-acre campus for living the good life.

Our Mission

Creating Community, Empowering Lives

Our Vision

Endless Possibilities, Vibrant Aging

Along with our vision and mission, our four core values demonstrate how the Givens teammates show up for residents each and every day.

People Passionate

We value every person. We strive to respect, support, enrich, and empower one another.

Make a Difference

We honor our legacy of making a difference in the lives of others. We see opportunities in challenges, seek creative solutions, and work tirelessly to ensure that we are improving and innovating to be a positive force in our community.

Power of Community

We are better and more creative when we work together. We harness the power of community for the greatest possible impact through collaboration, strong relationships, and embracing diversity.

Do What's Right

We act with integrity and accountability, recognizing what is right is not always easy or popular. We take responsibility for our decisions, persevere through challenges, and are good stewards of our resources.

Valuing Inclusion, Belonging & Equity

Located in the heart of metro Charlotte, Givens Aldersgate is a community rich in cultural heritage. Our leadership is deeply committed to fostering a sense of belonging in every aspect of our organization. We strive to ensure that every person feels valued, heard, and respected. Our inclusive culture honors all voices and perspectives, and we work intentionally toward building a more equitable future for our residents, local businesses, community, and team members.

Our ultimate goal is to create a community where everyone—residents, team members, and board members alike—experiences genuine belonging. We fully embrace the many dimensions that make people unique, including race, age, religion, color, ethnicity, sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, disability, culture, and socioeconomic background. At Givens Aldersgate, belonging isn’t just a value—it’s the foundation of who we are.
