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.

It's always fun to celebrate different traditions and bring a little variety to the table. Cheers to good food and good company!

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

A special story, and a special visit at A.G. Rhode A special story, and a special visit at A.G. Rhodes Atlanta! 

Pictured here are A.G. Rhodes elder Marvin Wiggins and @cbsnewsatlanta  reporter @themoniquejohn, who recently visited with Marvin to share the story of his lifelong love of baseball and a very special dream come true. 

With the help of @secondwinddream, The Atlanta  @braves, Marvin’s family and our A.G. Rhodes team, Marvin recently had the opportunity to attend a Braves game and received some special baseball memorabilia, including a Willie Mays-style glove.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this experience possible, and to Monique and CBS Atlanta for sharing Marvin’s story with the community!

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.
