We recognize that people make all the difference. Treating people well – with respect, trust, care, and good humor – can be quite contagious.

GreenTree at Mt. Vernon is a place of vibrancy and life-promoting meaning and joy in the lives of residents, families, and our team members. Elders inspire us, motivate us, guide, and direct us. As we work to create an empowering, caring, growing culture for elders, we are also creating our own future. After all, we are all elders-in-waiting!
