OVERVIEW

As one of Atlanta’s oldest nonprofits, A.G. Rhodes has a storied reputation in senior living for compassionate care. Founded as a hospital more than 120 years ago, A.G. Rhodes has since become the area’s premier provider of therapy and rehabilitation services, short-term recovery and long-term care.

Despite more than a century in the industry, A.G. Rhodes’ leadership and skilled staff are not content to do things the way they’ve always been done. Thoughtful and forward-looking, they take a person-centered approach to care that promotes excellent quality of life.

A.G. Rhodes can meet elders’ holistic needs, supporting them as they continue to lead active lives full of purpose and meaning. Offering varied, healthy meals that engage elders’ senses at all levels of care is part of A.G. Rhodes’ mission.

Unidine’s dining management services have allowed us to offer enhanced dining choices and greater flexibility to better meet the needs and preferences of our residents. We have a great partnership and are glad to have Unidine as part of our homes.
