Rhododendrons

Question

My rhododendron bush has a very gnarly bush base. What should I do with it and is there some way I can straighten it up? It seems to go every which way, and is growing more into my lawn. It is a very old bush. It blooms beautifully every year, but after blooming it thins out and looks terrible! Please tell me how to help my poor bush!!
