Bro. Roy and Doris Ecklund in front of their Retirement Living cottage at the Masonic Homes at Elizabethtown.

The last issue of The Pennsylvania Freemason featured Bro. Roy Ecklund, Brownstone Lodge No. 666, Hershey and his wife, Doris who were in the process of moving to Retirement Living. Their home in Palmyra was sold, and they were looking forward to their relocation to Retirement Living at the Masonic Homes in Elizabethtown. They have now settled into their new home in Retirement Living and to quote Bro. Roy, "We couldn't be happier!"

Gone are the days of never-ending home maintenance -- housekeeping, lawn care, the probable snow removal, and all the other responsibilities that go along with owning your own home. The Ecklunds are now enjoying the lifestyle they deserve. Knowing that health care services are available on the campus on a fee-for-service basis also provides the additional security and peace of mind for the future.

The primary question for Bro. Roy and Doris was whether their new home could accommodate all of their existing furniture and personal belongings. The answer is an emphatic "Yes!"

Bro. and Mrs. Ecklund chose a cottage that has more than 3,000 square feet and includes a porch, garage, and full basement. Thanks to Doris' furniture placement skills, everything went smoothly and according to plan on move-in day.

Follow-up, according to Bro. Ecklund, is critical, and the staff at Masonic Homes has fulfilled its commitments to meet their needs and expectations during this time of transition. The Ecklunds also have appreciated the friendliness of their new neighbors and the new relationships they are building.

Bro. Ecklund sums it all up when he says, "It's all about security, comfort, and a continuation of our home without all the responsibilities."
