As one of Atlanta’s oldest nonprofit organizations and few nonprofit nursing homes in Georgia, their roots trace back to more than a century ago when Amos Giles Rhodes came to Atlanta and founded Rhodes Furniture. He donated the land and funds for A.G. Rhodes’ first location, which opened in 1904 at the corner of Boulevard and Woodward Avenue where the company’s flagship location still operates today.
A.G. Rhodes provides long-term care, short-term recovery, and therapy and rehabilitation services for more than 1,300 seniors each year at its three locations in metro Atlanta, including a Memory Care Community on its Cobb campus in Marietta that offers all private rooms and household living environment.
Using a person-directed approach to care, A.G. Rhodes tailors services to support the unique physical, mental, and spiritual needs and preferences of each elder. It provides nationally recognized programs like Horticultural Therapy and Music Therapy and offers other research-based programs and activities that incorporate animals, art, children, music, plants, and technology. They say they have a place in their hearts — and their homes — for volunteers of all ages to support these programs.
A.G. Rhodes is proud of their over 120 years of delivering compassionate care to seniors throughout metro Atlanta, and it continues to be one of the only mission-driven nonprofit nursing home providers that serves Cobb’s underinsured and underserved seniors. At the heart of its mission is a steadfast commitment to people: to the people they serve and their families, and to the compassionate Care Partners who work at A.G. Rhodes.
