Sadie G. Mays Health & Rehabilitation Center

Sadie G. Mays Health & Rehabilitation Center sits at 1821 Anderson Ave NW in Atlanta, Georgia, and has been around since 1947 thanks to Sadie Gray Mays, who set up the nonprofit organization behind it, and the building opened in 1967 and has seen some repairs and updates, like a new roof, a fixed-up exterior, and renovations for the dining room, lobby, shower rooms, and some resident rooms that are still happening, so things are gradually getting brighter and more comfortable for everyone living there. The place has 206 beds for skilled nursing and rehab, and folks can find care for the long haul or stay for a short while if they're resting up or getting therapy, since the center offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus there are respite and hospice services for folks who need them, and the staff says they're committed to easing pain and supporting families with end-of-life care. The staff at Sadie G. Mays say they work to make a caring and respectful space for every resident, seeing each person as an individual and giving personalized attention, and they admit family members are a big part of how things work around there, so there's usually a strong sense of support. They've had over 77 years serving seniors and those needing rehabilitation in the Atlanta area, and though they aren't accredited by the Better Business Bureau, they are proud to be members of the Atlanta Association for Convalescent Aged Persons, Inc., and are always trying to keep the quality of their care up to the highest standards. Inside, you'll find an activity program meant to engage minds, bodies, and spirits, so residents have things to do, and meals are served in a renovated dining room. Services include skilled nursing care, long-term care, rehabilitative therapy, hospice, respite care, and a bunch of social activities, and the main goal seems to be to help residents feel comfortable, respected, and as healthy as possible every day.
