Tracy, yes feed them!
Espoma Hollytone is a safe bet. I have also used Texas tomato food as quick liquid hit. If they haven't been fed in forever, a few hits of whatever liquid fert you have over the next few weeks would be fine.
2012 was my first year in this house and this Rhody looked kinda ratty. 2 years of a little TLC and the result was the pix from my first post. My neighbor said she could not believe how good it looked last year and she has been in her house for at least 25 years.
No real effort - spring feed, maybe some mulch and a light fall pruning and you are done.
