Excellence, it’s said, is a habit – a continual process of growth, innovation, exploration, and improvement. That’s why, for more than three decades, The Mayflower at Winter Park has earned a reputation as one of the area’s finest senior living communities – and in 2024, we continued to raise the bar.
- Award-Winning Healthcare: Newsweek magazine named The Mayflower’s Health Center to its list of America’s Best Nursing Homes for 2025. This latest recognition follows a series of other recent accolades – including the prestigious Governor’s Gold Seal award, a 5-star rating from Medicare, and being named one of the nation’s Best Nursing Homes by US News & World Report.
- Cutting-Edge Cuisine: Last summer, Director of Dining Services Elvis Burrows and Executive Chef Patrick Tramontana were honored with the 2024 Innovation Award by Leading Age Southeast. The recognition followed the groundbreaking success of The Mayflower’s third on-campus restaurant, “Cru Quarters” – a sophisticated, eclectic experience featuring seasonal menus and wine pairings.
- More Ways to Live Well: This year, our second Fitness Center opened its doors – bringing new opportunities for fitness, personal training, and a dedicated space for massage therapy. Plus, our Wellness team launched an array of new programs, ranging from book clubs and cooking classes to guest lectures from Orlando Health physicians.
- Lifelong Learning: The Mayflower is home to a wide array of lifelong learning opportunities, from poetry and painting to current events and technology. Over the years, we’ve welcomed guest speakers from community organizations like Rollins College, the Orlando Museum of Art, Opera Orlando – and this fall, we launched a partnership with the Winter Park Lifelong Learning Foundation (WPLLF) to bring even more classes to our community.
- Commitment to Excellence: For the sixth year in a row, The Mayflower was named Best Senior Living Community in the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce’s annual Best of Winter Park event – and is still the only community to win the recognition since the event’s inception.
As 2024 comes to a close, we wish you a bright and joyful holiday season – and, in the new year ahead, a future full of possibilities. Because when you’re ready for life to go from “best” to “even better,” The Mayflower will be ready to welcome you home.
