At 1821 Anderson Ave NW in Atlanta’s Dixie Hills neighborhood, Sadie G. Mays Health & Rehabilitation Center operates as a 206-bed nonprofit skilled nursing facility under Kathi Laxton’s ownership and Gerialean Cooper’s administration.
Affiliated with PruithHealth, the facility has served residents for 53 years. Services include 24/7 skilled nursing, rehabilitation programs, personalized care plans, and an active resident council. Current census is predominantly Medicaid (84.9%). Medicare admissions average 1 to 2 months; private-pay residents typically remain 1 to 2 years. Average length of stay across all payers is 385 days.
Since 2017, inspectors documented 142 deficiencies; an annual average of 15.8 violations, 587% above Georgia’s typical 2.3 per year. Seven years of health inspections produced 48 citations, ranked #189 of 191 Georgia facilities.
Citation severity includes three serious violations (compared to state average 0.5), significantly above norm.
A July 2025 complaint investigation identified nine deficiencies affecting 21 residents. Substantive findings involved failure to timely report and investigate substantiated sexual abuse allegations, missed medication doses affecting multiple residents, absent dignity accommodations (no urinary drainage supplies), insufficient supervision correlating with resident falls, and infection control lapses.
An October 2024 complaint survey documented eight deficiencies including improper background checks, infection control failures in equipment handling, antibiotic stewardship documentation gaps, and nonfunctional resident call systems.
A June 2024 routine inspection cited twelve violations spanning environment safety, staff licensing deficiencies, medication administration errors exceeding acceptable rates, unnecessary psychotropic medication continuation, and pest infestation.
Federal penalty imposed June 26, 2024: $54,000 civil money penalty.
Total staff of 432 (75 employees, 357 contractors) generates a 2.44:1 staff-to-resident ratio exceeding state average. However, registered nurse hours remain at 26 minutes daily, 13% below state; with weekend RN coverage just 11 minutes, 45% below state benchmark. Licensed practical nurse and certified nursing assistant roles are heavily contractor-dependent: 93% of LPNs and 77% of CNAs work through temporary staffing.
Payroll comprises 41.3% of revenue, substantially below the 51–61% indicator of operational adequacy.
Long-stay depressive symptom prevalence reaches 0.4% (95% better than state), yet functional decline affects 22% of residents (worse than state). Vaccine coverage shows critical gaps: pneumococcal vaccination 74.2% (19% worse than state), influenza vaccination 47.7% (50% worse). Occupancy contracted from 90.5% in 2019 to 71.6% in 2024; a July 2025 census recorded 10% occupancy.
The facility holds a 1-star CMS rating (61.1% below Georgia average), reflecting compliance violations, abuse reporting failures, medication safety concerns, occupancy decline, and federal financial penalty.
Sadie G. Mays Health & Rehabilitation Center is administrated by Gerialean Cooper.
In Georgia, the Department of Community Health, Healthcare Facility Regulation Division conducts unannounced inspections to ensure facilities adhere to state health and safety requirements.
