Each A.G. Rhodes location provides a welcoming atmosphere where you’ll feel safe, comfortable and right at home.
Our modern and bright facilities are meticulously maintained, and residents and guests frequently comment on how inviting the environment is. From the interiors, to the lighting, to the flooring and gardens – everything has been considered with the well-being of our residents in mind. The moment you enter, you’ll discover warm, comforting surroundings.
This is our mission statement:
A.G. Rhodes provides expert and compassionate rehabilitation therapy and residential care to seniors in metro Atlanta.
From the first time we meet you, our staff will welcome you into our warm, family environment.
As one of Atlanta’s oldest nonprofits, our commitment to excellence has been a tradition for more than 115 years. We will continue to set the industry standard by serving our seniors with respect – and maintaining a commitment to your privacy, individuality and independence. Our staff is also trained in person-directed care, and we strive to accommodate the needs and preferences of those who stay with us.
From Nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants, therapists, and activities directors, to dietitians, social workers and housekeeping staff – there are approximately 500 care partners, and an additional 100 contractual staff within our dietary and therapy departments, who are proud to work for A. G. Rhodes. We are a mission-driven organization, committed to excellence in everything we do.
Our employees have more tenure than most long-term care facilities. We continuously maintain excellent staff-to-patient ratios. And most important, each one of us has a personal interest in caring for others.
At each location, certified nursing care is provided twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week including all holidays. Housekeeping service is offered seven days a week.
We accommodate more than 400 residents; 138 at our Atlanta home, 125 at our Cobb home, and 150 at our Wesley Woods home. We serve more than 1,300 people a year.
Each A.G. Rhodes location provides private and semi-private rooms. But we don’t just think of them as rooms. Whether you’re here for a few days, or longer, we want this to be a comfortable place for you to stay so we encourage you to personalize your space with your belongings and style.
Every time we enter a resident’s room, we knock on the door and ask if it’s okay to come in. We respect your personal space.
Privacy curtains are used, if needed. And nurse call systems at every bedside are answered in a timely manner. Our specially equipped bathrooms are complete with whirlpool baths and hydraulic lifts to enable our residents to maintain independence while getting assistance, if necessary.
In partnership with Unidine, chefs at A.G. Rhodes prepare delicious meals and snacks daily. Additionally, registered dietitians will meet with you personally to create an individualized balanced diet — taking into consideration your likes and dislikes. From fried chicken to gourmet hamburgers to lasagna, our menu includes a balanced range of options. We also prepare meals for those with special dietary needs. Click here to see some of the delicious items that are featured throughout our homes.
Meals are served in the dining rooms or we can bring them to you (even when you’re relaxing outside). We invite family and friends to purchase a meal ticket and dine with us.
We launder items on a daily basis on-site with a 24-48 hour turnaround time for personal clothing. We have a special labeling system for belongings to mitigate lost or misplaced items.
At A.G. Rhodes, your safety and health are our top priorities. That’s why we’ve installed the latest state-of-the art security systems. At each location, we have controlled access systems, security cameras and monitoring, and sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers are strategically located throughout the buildings. Additionally, a safety committee meets monthly at each of our facilities to review, develop and implement safety procedures for employees and residents, and to facilitate frequent safety training and drills to ensure we are prepared to respond in the event of an emergency.
Nursing home residents have rights and protections under the law. It is required that nursing homes display these rights and give new residents or their representative a personal copy.
A.G. Rhodes is committed to not only following the legal requirements for residents’ rights, but also setting the standard for the industry for excellence in care. We don’t simply adhere to guidelines for caring for residents, we constantly evaluate our approach to ensure everyone is treated with respect at all times.
We have many measures in place to protect our residents and staff from illnesses and diseases and to minimize risk of exposure when caring for those diagnosed. We follow guidelines and recommendations from numerous organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Public Health (DPH), and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
We implement stringent infection prevention and control measures, frequent hand washing and cleaning of our buildings and surfaces, and extra precaution when caring for residents, especially residents exhibiting any symptoms of illness regardless of the nature of those symptoms. We closely monitor our residents for illnesses, staff are instructed not to report to work if they are feeling ill, and we adjust our visitor guidelines to ensure we maintain a safe environment.
We conduct frequent vaccine education and make vaccines available for residents and staff to protect themselves against COVID-19, the flu, and other illnesses.

The A.G. Rhodes homes are three of the few, mission-driven nonprofit nursing home providers operating in Georgia. As a 501(c)(3) organization, all donations are tax deductible.
We believe our nonprofit status is a fundamental difference in our approach to resident and patient care. Donations go directly into providing an excellent experience and an improved quality of life for our residents, not into stockholder accounts.
For more than 115 years, everyone at A.G. Rhodes has focused on this mission. We continue to uphold a long-standing tradition of serving seniors in our community, but we couldn’t do it without our generous community.

A current state survey book is kept at each of our homes for your review at any time. Our surveys typically show that all of our homes are rated “much above” average.
