Overall Review of Sadie G. Mays Health & Rehabilitation Center

common 6 reviews mention this

Activities help residents stay engaged

Residents describe regular activities, including music and group events, as part of day-to-day life.

Several reviews mention ongoing life-enrichment and scheduled activities like music, birthdays, games, exercise, and religious events.

Food quality is a mixed theme

Food quality is inconsistent, with some residents describing meals they disliked despite dietary accommodations.

A number of reviews complain about meals, including descriptions of the food being poor or disgusting. Other families say residents enjoy the food, including a picky eater, and report improvement over time. The community provides dietary accommodations for diabetes and special dietary restrictions, and that shows up in how families talk about meals when needs are specific.

Therapy and rehab get polarized reviews

Physical therapy experiences vary widely, from “stellar” sessions to reports of no rehab getting delivered.

Some reviews highlight rehabilitation support, including strong comments about the physical therapy team and caregivers keeping people moving. Other reviews claim rehab and physical therapy were not provided as expected, sometimes alongside broader care concerns. For families comparing expectations after a hospital stay, the reviews suggest the therapy experience can depend on the timing and level of follow-through.

Staff warmth is praised, but mixed

Many reviews praise staff as caring, responsive, and professional.

A large share of reviewers describe the staff as kind, professional, empathetic, and willing to help with concerns quickly. Families also mention admissions and leadership support, along with communication when there are changes in condition. At the same time, several other reviews describe dismissive or rude interactions, suggesting residents’ day-to-day experiences are not uniform.

caveat 13 reviews mention this

Infection control and cleanliness concerns recur

Multiple reviews raise cleanliness and odor concerns, often tied to urine and hygiene care.

Many negative reviews describe a strong urine smell on arrival or throughout the facility, and some mention residents sitting in urine or feces. Other comments also describe rooms not being cleaned, missing clothing, and delayed attention to basic needs. Even among more positive reviews, one reviewer contrast mentions the building as odor-free, making the cleanliness theme one of the most divisive in the feedback.
