Initiative Launched at Warminster to Fund Renovations at East Home
Donations are needed for renovations and improvements to the Masonic Eastern Star Home-East. Your gift can make a real difference in residents' lives today!
Results from a resident evaluation of the Masonic Eastern Star Home-East at Warminster revealed the need for essential improvements and renovations to ensure and provide a better quality of life for current and future residents at the home.
The Masonic Eastern Star Home-East became part of the Masonic Homes of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in 1998. The Home was founded by the Grand Chapter of Pennsylvania, Order of the Eastern Star, in 1974, and provides nursing services for up to 28 residents and assisted living services for a maximum of 34 residents.
Essential improvements and renovations are needed to the following areas of the home:
Installation of a new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system providing individual room climate control
Replacement of resident room bathroom doors
Modifications to existing nursing stations
New nurse call bell system
Interior upgrades to walls, floors, and ceilings
Exterior site improvement lighting
New furniture, fixtures, and equipment
Repaving of existing driveways and parking areas
The estimated cost for those improvements and renovations is approximately $800,000.
Special gift opportunities are available, ranging from $1,000 for outer foyer furniture to $56,000 for window treatments. Brethren, Lodges, and friends, particularly those located in Southeastern Pennsylvania, are invited to make a special gift to help the residents served by the Masonic Eastern Star Home-East. A complete list of these special gift opportunities is available by calling the Office of Gift Planning at 1-(800) 599-6454.
