A.G. Rhodes

A.G. Rhodes is one of Atlanta’s oldest nonprofit organizations and has set the standard for serving an aging community since 1904.  We provide rehabilitation and therapy services, short-term recovery, and long-term care at three metro Atlanta locations.

As one of only a few mission-driven, nonprofit nursing home providers in Georgia, we believe our nonprofit status is a fundamental difference in our approach to care. We’re able to direct more resources into the care we provide, including our state-of-the art therapy and rehabilitation services, our innovative programming, and our diverse activities and events.

Person-Directed Care

Recognizing that the nursing home of the past is no longer an acceptable option for the growing number of people who need our services—particularly those living with dementia—we are transforming our model of care to one the promotes a better quality of life in a more home-like environment. A.G. Rhodes became one of the first organizations in the state to embrace a person-directed approach to senior care.

Person-directed care is the kind of care that we all want for our loved ones and for ourselves as we age. It means that choices and actions consider the individual’s unique personality, history and interests, and it puts decision-making in the hands of the resident, or in the hands of those closest to him or her. Person-directed care has become a best practice, and we demonstrate the importance and effectiveness of this model in the A.G. Rhodes communities.

Innovative Programming 

We understand the critical importance of nurturing one’s physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing, and we continuously seek research-based programs and activities that will engage residents by incorporating animals, art, children, music, plants and technology. We provide nationally recognized programs including our signature Horticultural Therapy and Music Therapy programs, and we use the latest technology to enhance person-directed care.

Family and Community-Oriented

 The first of our three locations was constructed in 1904 thanks to the generous donation of land and funds from a prominent Atlanta businessman and community leader, Amos Giles Rhodes. Today, the fifth generation of the A.G. Rhodes family serves on our Boards of Trustees and Advisors. Throughout the years, we have adapted extremely well to the times while remaining true to our roots as a family-oriented operation that serves the larger community. We treat residents, their families and each other as part of our own family. This personal touch guides us in every aspect of the care that we provide.
