Living Well Luncheon 2024

The A.G. Rhodes Board of Advisors hosted its ninth annual Living Well Luncheon fundraiser on February 1, 2024. Click here to read a recap of the event in the Northside Neighbor.

Each year this signature event brings together business leaders, partners, and supporters to hear speakers present on aging-related issues that impact our community and raise funds for important initiatives that greatly enhance the quality of life for our residents. Proceeds from this year’s event supported two of those A.G. Rhodes initiatives: staff scholarship assistance in the field of caregiving and support to the Margaret Boyd Perdue Fund of the A.G. Rhodes Endowment. Funds support a critical workforce that cares for our community’s aging loved ones as well as our residents and their families.

A Remarkable Legacy

This Living Well annual event brings together supporters who enable our mission, which was especially meaningful in 2024—A.G. Rhodes’ 120th anniversary!

As one of Atlanta’s oldest nonprofit organizations, A.G. Rhodes continues to be one of the only mission-driven nonprofit nursing home providers that serves our city’s uninsured, underinsured, and underserved seniors. We commemorate the beginnings of A.G. Rhodes as it is known today when Amos Giles Rhodes donated the land and funds for our first location in 1904. That flagship location at the corner of Boulevard and Woodward still operates today. Visit our special anniversary web page to learn more and watch our tribute video.

Most recently, he served as an editor for the Atlanta Business Chronicle. He has written a weekly column in the Northside Neighbor for over twelve years. Read More
