About the Event:

Each year, the A.G. Rhodes Board of Advisors hosts its signature Living Well Luncheon to advance information about healthcare related to the elderly, and to benefit the well-being of the residents we serve. This event brings together business leaders, partners and supporters to hear speakers present on important aging-related issues that impact our community. When our world dramatically changed in 2020, A.G. Rhodes changed to meet the requirements of these times and we offered this event virtually in 2021.

Supporters of the event help us fulfill our mission to serve older adults in our community, particularly those who lack adequate resources for the high-quality care we afford everyone who stays with us. Over the six years that we’ve held this annual event, we’ve featured speakers known throughout the nation and we’ve raised funds for important initiatives that greatly enhance the quality of life for our residents. The proceeds from this year’s event will provide scholarship assistance in the field of caregiving to A.G. Rhodes staff.
