Harve Bauguess spent almost his entire career at A.G. Rhodes, starting as Administrator of the A.G. Rhodes Atlanta home in 1976. A native of Winston Salem, North Carolina, he graduated from Furman University in 1969 where he attended on a football scholarship and was in the ROTC program. He served in Korea as an Army First Lieutenant from 1970-1971. He and his wife Susan were married in 1973 and moved to Atlanta in 1974 where he received his master’s degree from Georgia State University. They have one daughter, Heather who has also worked at A.G. Rhodes, and two grandchildren.

In 1985, Rhodes Perdue asked Harve to oversee the management of A.G. Rhodes. He formed Bauguess Management Company to fill this role and the eventual expansion of the organization to include A.G. Rhodes Cobb (1992) and A.G. Rhodes Wesley Woods (1997), serving as Contract Manager until his retirement in 2012. He credits an outstanding Board of Directors and Board of Managers (what is now the Board of Advisors) for their vision and role in charting the path of A.G. Rhodes to what it is today.

We are delighted to honor Harve Bauguess at this year’s Living Well Luncheon as a pioneer in the long-term services sector and thank him for his decades of service to the A.G. Rhodes community.

The Living Well Luncheon is hosted by the A.G. Rhodes Board of Advisors under the leadership of this year’s event co-chairs, Frances Kerr and Hyde Desloge. Click here to see the list of the 2025 Board of Advisors.
