Sometimes a vacation means a break from our daily schedules; a time to sit back and relax, free from worries. For others, a vacation is a chance to do things you normally don't have the time or resources to experience. The Respite Cottage staff at the Masonic Homes understands the many different needs you and your loved one may have.

If you are a caregiver of an adult with mild to moderate mental retardation or similar developmental disabilities and are planning a vacation or other personal time, the Masonic Homes can help. The Respite Cottage offers a safe, nurturing environment with 24-hour personalized care in a comfortable home environment.

Within the beauty of the Masonic Homes, guests enjoy nutritious meals, social and recreational activities, and assistance with daily living routines. All of this is offered at a very reasonable cost.

This program is open to all Pennsylvania residents who can benefit from its services. For further information and scheduling, call (717) 367-1121, extension 33751.
