My mom has been at the facility for four years, and I must say that I’m very pleased with the love and care that she has received over the years. The staff is very warm and friendly, and I always feel welcomed during my visit. I would definitely recommend Sadie G Mays to anyone who’s looking for long term care for their love ones.

Overall, my experience was positive. I was a short term resident. My experience with the physical therapy team was stellar. The health care team was friendly, kind, and competent. The food was not good, however, my concerns were addressed. I felt that the administrators were listening and eager to make improvements. I would go back if the situation presents itself.

If you love your family, PLEASE do not send them to this facility. For one, the nurses and staff have to be the most disqualified people I’ve ever seen. My family member stayed at this facility for a while and there’s maybe a small handful of people who I actually think are good decent people. The nurses attitudes are terrible and believe me, your family will not get the care that is guaranteed. They try to portray themselves as a nice facility but unless your family member is in a place where they can provide for themselves (Walk, Talk) then don’t bother sending them here. Constantly my family and I would bring food, clothes, and other essentials. All of the items would either magically disappear or be “given away”. The nurses will pretend to be oblivious but I’m more than certain they have an idea of what’s going on at their job. They always have disgusting and nasty attitudes. I’ve overheard a few CNA’s talk about how much less they can paid compared to regular CNA’s in hospitals. Im assuming that’s why they always have the attitude. Most of them have that mentality that since they don’t get paid more, they should take it out on the patients. When in reality, applying for a different job and/or going into a different field is more logical. It’s terrible and the facility itself needs to work harder to accommodate the patients. I guarantee you any worker at this facility would never keep their loved ones here. Do with that what you will. The urine and death smell when you walk into the facility is very strong. I’m not sure how a place like this is even still open. Do yourself a favor and never send your loved ones to a nursing home, Especially a place like Sadie G Mays if you want them to live and survive.

My brother was at Sadie G. Mays for 9 years and it was such a great experience. He transitioned and I still go to the facility to visit the residents and wonderful staff that took care of him while he was there.
