Pumpkin Smashing Is BACK!

The legend lives on—Cabbage Night is back! Traditionally held the night before Halloween, this spirited occasion invites normally kids (but at Mayo, we d0 not discriminate against age) to unleash their creativity (and a bit of chaos) by smashing pumpkins in the streets.

After the success of our spur-of-the-moment pumpkin smashing last year, our residents have eagerly requested to make this a regular event. So, mark your calendars for our Now Annual Pumpkin Smashing Event!

Join us for a afternoon of fun as we celebrate this unique tradition. Grab your pumpkins and get ready to make some noise! We can’t wait to see everyone join in on the festivities and enjoy the thrill of pumpkin smashing together!

National Transportation Aide Week

A Special Thank You to Travis and Rachel. In honor of National Transportation Aid Week, we want to take a moment to highlight and express our heartfelt gratitude to two exceptional members of our team: Travis and Rachel. Their dedication to providing safe and reliable transportation for our residents is truly commendable.

Travis and Rachel go above and beyond to ensure that our residents can get to and from their appointments safely and comfortably. Their commitment not only helps individuals maintain their health and well-being but also enhances their quality of life by fostering independence and access to essential services.

They consistently show up on time, ready to assist with a smile, making sure that every resident feels valued and cared for. Travis and Rachel take the time to build relationships with our residents, providing support and understanding that goes beyond just transportation.  They advocate for our residents’ needs, ensuring that they receive the assistance and resources required for their journeys.

This week, let’s come together to recognize Travis and Rachel for their unwavering commitment to our community. Their hard work and compassion deserve our appreciation!

Thank you, Travis and Rachel, for everything you do. Your efforts make a significant difference in the lives of our residents!
