College gives us a time and a place to look forward to a life of virtually unlimited promise. And at The Spires at Berry College, the same is true of retirement.
In 1902, when Martha Berry opened a school for academically able but economically challenged children on the grounds of her family farm in Rome, her goal was to raise their aspirations. Looking upward, Martha believed, was the first step toward achieving one’s highest hopes and dreams. The Berry School grew from five students in its first year into an internationally recognized institution of higher learning with more than two thousand undergraduates.
Building upon Martha Berry’s legacy of looking up and remembering life’s purpose, there are spires featured prominently in architecture throughout campus. And what better name to describe a retirement home that harmonizes with both the surrounding beauty and cultural experience found at Berry College. Created for those who have higher aspirations for their golden years, The Spires certainly rises to the occasion – setting a new standard among retirement homes.
At The Spires, residents are surrounded by the pleasures of a learning environment without the rigors of a curriculum. Sit in on classes, attend concerts, lectures, plays and sporting events – fully immerse yourself in the vitality of campus life. Just as importantly, the 27,000-acre preserve bequeathed to the college by Martha Berry provides ample room to reflect, explore and appreciate what life in retirement can and should be.
