The Ross family, whose origins are from South Georgia, started what was originally Shady Grove Rest Home in 1965 which was located next door. James A. and Annie Lee Ross had five children. When the entrepreneurial James began his new business in rural Cobb in the early 60's he and Annie Lee decided this was the ideal location to start a new chapter in their lives. It was one born from their experience of having a loved one in what was then considered a convalescent home. During that time options were few and specialized geriatric care facilities had not been anything but a distant thought. So, with all their children grown and well on their way traversing their own paths, James A. and Annie Lee started Shady Grove Rest Home in the location that the current Shady Grove Manor Personal Care Home sits.
