Lafayette Nursing and Rehabilitation in Mayo, Florida, is described as a skilled nursing facility offering short-term rehabilitation and long-term care. A federal facility profile lists 60 certified beds; this is the facility’s certified capacity, not a count of currently available rooms. The available information does not describe room layouts, whether accommodations are private or shared, or how residents’ rooms are furnished.
Short-term services include post-acute rehabilitation, and a facility listing also identifies rehabilitation after surgery. The listed therapy disciplines are physical, occupational and speech-language therapy. The descriptions do not state how often sessions occur, how long a rehabilitation stay typically lasts, or what criteria are used for admission. They name the therapy options without outlining an individual schedule or promising a particular outcome.

Long-term nursing support is listed for people with chronic or complex medical needs. Other named services include wound care, medication management and assistance with activities of daily living. These details encompass both clinical nursing support and help with routine personal tasks, although the supplied descriptions do not explain staffing arrangements or which services apply to each resident. A third-party listing also names memory care, but does not explain its scope.
One social media post records a resident outing to Dairy Queen for banana splits. This is an example of an off-site outing, not evidence of a recurring activity calendar. The available pages do not describe a regular dining program, on-site amenities, common rooms or scheduled recreation. As a result, they provide limited detail about daily routines beyond the listed nursing, therapy and personal assistance services.
The facility is in Mayo, the county seat of Lafayette County in rural North Central Florida, near U.S. 27. Doctors Memory Family Medicine is listed as less than a mile away, and Lafayette County Hospital, a critical-access hospital, is also in Mayo. These are nearby medical resources, not services identified as part of the facility. For advanced specialty care, the area listing names Shands Live Oak (UF Health Lake Shore Hospital) in Live Oak and UF Health in Gainesville as regional medical centers, rather than services offered by the nursing facility.
The surrounding area includes the Suwannee River, Troy Springs State Park and nearby nature conservation areas. Troy Springs is along the river, and area descriptions note opportunities for fishing and canoeing in the river corridor. Troy Springs is described as a first-magnitude spring and a paddling destination, while the rural landscape includes small farms, live oaks and cypress wetlands. These are regional features rather than confirmed facility amenities or organized resident activities. The available information does not describe the facility’s grounds, views or access to outdoor spaces.

I would appreciate the availability of a rating option that allows for no stars. There are a few Certified Nursing Assistants who demonstrate care within this facility. However, the healthcare provider's level of professionalism is lacking, as they fail to maintain open communication with the family. Instances of deceit are prevalent, often used to conceal their own neglectful behavior.

I would appreciate the availability of a rating option that allows for no stars. There are a few Certified Nursing Assistants who demonstrate care within this facility. However, the healthcare provider's level of professionalism is lacking, as they fail to maintain open communication with the family. Instances of deceit are prevalent, often used to conceal their own neglectful behavior. Regrettably, individuals in the final stages of life are sometimes left to endure a slow and excruciating passing due to lack of timely intervention, justified by the unconscious state of the patient. One particularly distressing incident involved Christy, who callously informed a grieving spouse that they needed to make arrangements for the patient's discharge home on March 8th, only for the patient to pass away that very night. Christy's actions in this regard are deplorable and merit deep reflection. The family had to specifically request pain medication to alleviate the patient's suffering, who was experiencing the death rattle. Despite clear indications of distress, it is likely that this was the first time his vital signs were actually monitored. Additionally, it is crucial to note that just before his passing this past Monday, he was left seated in a wheelchair for an extensive period of 5 hours - a fact disclosed by one of the CNAs, who initially attempted to downplay the duration by suggesting it was shortly after lunch. Given these distressing circumstances, I wholeheartedly advise against entrusting the care of your loved one to this facility during their final moments.
Good service.

Lafayette Nursing continues to provide exceptional care to the residents while maintaining a clean and hygienic space.
The employees were very helpful and nice. I got to talk to my Great Grandpa who’s coming to the end of his life and it meant a lot to me.
I wouldn't put my worst enemy here. The staff is rude. They treat family members as if we have no intelligence and allow no input in the care of your family member. There were several incidents where my mother fell and I was not notified. Was told by staff they don't have to notify family. Don't use this facility if you care about your family member.
Lafayette Nursing and Rehabilitation was just nasty. The staff was very pushy and rude. It was dirty. The rooms were more like a hospital.
Fantastic staff. We were displaced during Hurricane Florence and my mother needed nursing care. Not sure what we would have done for 2 weeks if I didn't find LaFayette.
