Keeping nursing home communities safe and healthy is something we all play a part in.

A.G. Rhodes was pleased to participate in a new video from the CDC highlighting simple, everyday actions that elders and care partners can take to help prevent the spread of infections in nursing home communities.

We were glad to welcome the CDC to A.G. Rhodes and have our elders and care partners take part in this project. Sharing practical information about infection prevention is especially important in nursing homes, where protecting the health of older adults is a priority every day.

Watch “Preventing Infections in Your Nursing Home Community” and see if you can spot a few A.G. Rhodes spaces and faces!

Elders at A.G. Rhodes Cobb enjoyed a little taste of Oktoberfest with a traditional German-inspired meal featuring pretzels, sausage and sauerkraut.

A few A.G. Rhodes Atlanta elders and care partners had a wonderful time at the Mayor’s Senior Ball earlier this month, a special opportunity to get dressed up, enjoy time together and celebrate alongside older adults from across Atlanta.

Thank you to the City of Atlanta Government and Mayor Andre Dickens for hosting this wonderful tradition and making our elders feel so special!

For A.G. Rhodes elder Marvin Wiggins, baseball has been a lifelong passion—from childhood trips to Yankee Stadium to playing the game himself for many years. Today, that love of the game is as strong as ever.

Thanks to Second Wind Dreams featuring the Virtual Dementia Tour, Marvin’s family, the Atlanta Braves, and our team at A.G. Rhodes Atlanta, Marvin recently had a dream fulfilled with a trip to see the Braves play and some very special baseball memorabilia, including a Willie Mays-style glove.

We are so grateful for all those involved in making this unforgettable experience possible for Marvin, and to Monique John at CBS Atlanta for sharing this beautiful story!

Alexis shares what it meant to witness that progress, from learning to eat again to finding new ways to communicate. Marietta senior rehab can be about progress that looks different for everyone.
