Residents enjoyed a scrumptious meal, music, and entertainment at this summer's "Renaissance Faire," a special event which took place in the Village Green Circle.

"I can't afford to live at Masonic Homes"...is an erroneous statement heard from time to time. The truth is that there are many avenues that make moving to Masonic Homes a possibility for many people. Residential living, which is the Village Green Area, is a wonderful example of affordable and convenient living. That area offers nice rooms with private baths. Meals are served three times a day in Grand Lodge Hall. Laundry and housekeeping assistance is available to make life more enjoyable.

Each building recently was equipped with a community kitchenette area that is perfect for those "late night" snacks. There is a shuttle bus to transport residents all over the campus. Frequent trips to local shopping areas, malls, and restaurants are also included. Scheduled activities and recreational areas round out a full living experience.

All those services and more are included in one per-diem fee. There is no need for a down payment, nor is it required that all assets be signed over. A financial assessment is made during the application process and suggestions are made at that time to assist in your decision. No required amount of money is necessary to enter the Masonic Homes. If a resident runs out of funds, the monthly income will be accepted as payment for services being provided. Any balance is met through contributions, bequests, and trusts that are received for Masonic Homes' operations.

If you or someone you know would like more information on Residential Living, call (800) 422-1207. The friendly Masonic Homes staff will be happy to answer your questions.
