About Us
Winchester Mount Vernon House is an extraordinary testament to the character of the citizens of Winchester. Long before scholarly research substantiated the positive impact of social connectedness on seniors, the people of Winchester recognized the importance of creating a non-institutional home where their eldest neighbors could grow old amidst the familiarity and fellowship of the community they’d helped to build.
Founded in 1894, the Winchester Mount Vernon House is a non-profit, charitable organization, created to keep Winchester seniors close to family, friends and the town they know and love. Because we're private and managed by a community volunteer Board of Directors, we offer a stability and continuity of care seldom seen in assisted living. The intimacy of our small, bed & breakfast style facility and the personalized care given by our extraordinary staff lend a warm “family” atmosphere in which we take great pride.
For over 120 years, we've delivered on our mission to improve the quality of life for seniors in a small, home-like residence. And today, we continue to open our doors to Winchester seniors and seniors with family in Winchester, offering a fee structure based on each resident’s ability to pay.

A Message From Our Executive Director |
At the point when people typically contact me, they’re almost always feeling stressed about finding a place for someone they love. Either there’s been an incident resulting in injury, or they’ve suddenly come to realize that Mom or Dad can’t remain living at home alone. Whatever the case, our advice is always to take a deep breath and remember that when any family member is vulnerable and depends on us for guidance — getting it right takes time. Finding the place where Mom or Dad will be understood, valued and cared for as an individual is not just what they need, but what they deserve. My goal is always to make the process a little easier. At Winchester Mount Vernon House, each of our residents is treated with dignity, respect and love. Because of the size and intimacy of our home, we’re truly a family — constantly supported by the stability of a devoted and caring staff.
For the past 19 years, I have taken enormous pride in helping to continue the WMVH tradition of providing a home and the highest quality of care for our seniors. And because we are a private, non-profit entity, we all take pride in the fact that this is what you’ll always be able to expect from us. 
Catherine A. Jackson
Executive Director
