Here at Mayo we are one big family. Staff coming together to make sure we provide the best care for the Residents as possible. Its truly amazing to see how residents bond with staff, how they feel safe and secure. Mayo Healthcare is the definition of "love what you do, do what you love."

Report
I recently moved to Vermont and have attended several events at Mayo Healthcare & Residential Care. The Activity program is very impressive, and the staff amazingly approachable and helpful. The memorial I attended truly brought me to tears because it provided a biography for each person's life which I found very personal, and touching for the families who attended. The facility has spacious rooms, courtyard, outdoor space, and a walking path. All in all this is an amazing organization and non-profit!
