Ariel View of Cottage Expansion

An aerial view of the Independent living cottage expansion project, as of May, 1998.

The Grand Lodge Committee on Masonic Homes recently approved the construction of 28 new cottages in Phase 3 of the independent living expansion effort at the Masonic Homes in Elizabethtown. As with Phase 1 and Phase 2, the new cottages will include a variety of floor plans with every unit featuring a garage, wall-to-wall carpeting, sheer curtains, electric range, refrigerator, washer and dryer, emergency call system, smoke detector, fire safety system, and individually controlled heating and air-conditioning thermostats. While completion is planned for some of these units as early as October, 1998, all cottage construction is scheduled to be finished by February, 1999. When completed, independent living will offer a total of 116 cottages.

Independent living at the Masonic Homes in Elizabethtown is all about choices. Independent living options include entrance fee apartments and apartments available under the rental option.

Independent living is a lifestyle whereby residents gain access to the security and quality of the Masonic Homes in a more independent, active environment. Independent living and retirement communities continue to grow in popularity. Pennsylvania brethren and their eligible family members are encouraged to consider the Masonic Homes in Elizabethtown.

The Marketing Office has recently made several presentations throughout Pennsylvania on the benefits of independent living. The presentations provide an opportunity to emphasize the many positive changes that have occurred at Elizabethtown since independent living opened its doors to a new lifestyle in 1990.

One topic that surfaces continually at every presentation is that of health care and health care services. Many have stated there is peace of mind in knowing that a state-of-the-art facility exists on the campus of the Masonic Homes. The Health Care Center sets the Masonic Homes apart from virtually all other independent living communities.
