The media reports that health care organizations nationwide are experiencing a shortage of nursing personnel. This dilemma particularly affects long-term care facilities.

The Masonic Homes are working hard to continue the provision of quality care by ensuring the maintenance of a higher ratio of staff to resident care than required by governmental standards. The Nursing Department has hired a full-time Nurse Recruiter to ensure that staff levels are maintained and that the most caring, professional, and ethical personnel are employed by the Masonic Homes.

If you have family members or friends residing near one of the Masonic Homes ­ in Elizabethtown, Warminster, Pittsburgh, or Sewickley ­ who are interested in the health care field, please encourage them to experience our "Mission of Love." Provide them with the following telephone number for our Human Resources Office: (717) 361-4522.
