The Masonic Homes' Independent Living program has continued to expand throughout 1997.
Phase I of the independent living cottage construction project, consisting of 36 cottages, began in August 1996 and was completed and ready for occupancy in July 1997. The second phase of construction, which will add 36 cottages, is expected to be completed in June 1998. If demand exists, a third phase of 28 cottages will complete the project for a total of 100 new independent living cottages on the Masonic Homes' campus.
The Smith South Apartments opened in September 1997, and offered the availability of an additional eight one-bedroom and two-bedroom units under a rental plan.
The Smith North Building opened for occupancy in January 1998. In addition to offering the availability of 23 apartments, this building provides space for additional leisure and recreation opportunities for residents across the campus. These areas include a ceramic room, card playing areas, pool tables and general craft areas.
Including the Village Green Apartments, Brown Apartments, Charles and Louis Eisenlohr Apartments, and the Smith South Apartments, all of which opened between 1993 and 1997, there are now 91 Independent Living apartments available under a rental option at the Masonic Homes.
As of December 31, 1997, 485 residents occupied 332 Independent Living apartments or cottages on the Masonic Homes' campus.
The Independent Living areas of the Masonic Homes currently consist of 311 apartments and 52 cottages, where residents gain access to the security and quality care services of the Masonic Homes in an independent, active environment.
