Lafayette Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Lafayette Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, located at 512 West Main Street in Mayo, Florida, serves as the primary skilled nursing and rehabilitation resource for residents of Lafayette County and the surrounding rural communities of North Central Florida. Managed by Maximus Healthcare Group, the facility is staffed by dedicated nursing and therapy professionals committed to delivering high-quality care in one of Florida's most rural and naturally beautiful regions. Mayo is the county seat of Lafayette County — one of Florida's smallest and most serene counties — situated along the banks of the Suwannee River watershed. Lafayette County Hospital, located in Mayo, serves as the local critical access hospital, and the facility's proximity to this resource ensures that residents have access to baseline acute care and emergency services without requiring long-distance transport. For more complex specialty care, families also have access to resources in Live Oak and Gainesville, each within a reasonable drive. The natural environment surrounding Mayo is one of the region's defining strengths. The Suwannee River, one of Florida's most iconic waterways immortalized in American folk tradition, flows through Lafayette County offering quiet beauty, fishing, and canoeing opportunities that families can enjoy during visits. Troy Springs State Park, located nearby along the Suwannee River, features a crystal-clear first-magnitude spring and one of Florida's best-preserved paddle destinations. The area's rolling rural landscape, dotted with small farms, live oaks, and cypress wetlands, provides a peaceful backdrop distinctive from Florida's more urbanized coastal corridors. For residents and families who value a slower pace of life and a genuine community connection, Mayo and Lafayette County offer exactly that. Maximus Healthcare Group brings professional management discipline and a care-forward philosophy to Lafayette Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, ensuring that rural location never means a compromise in the quality of nursing care, therapy services, or compassionate daily support available to each resident.
