Support The Masonic Care Community
MCC- Trusted Senior Care for Generations
Formerly known as the "Masonic Home", the Masonic Care Community continues to provide three levels of care on its 400-acre campus, all delivered by highly trained compassionate professionals. Independent Retirement Living is available at Acacia Village’s spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments. At Wiley Hall, residents with moderate health care needs have private rooms as part of a residential adult care concept; a brand-new facility built in 2006 features special accommodations for couples, lounge areas in each residential wing, and a full-time medical staff on call. Full-time skilled nursing is available in the Masonic Care Community's new Health Pavilion. It is one of the most advanced facilities of its kind in the entire country. Here residents receive the highest quality of nursing care around the clock, and a community of residents is looked after by a team of professionals dedicated to caring in a manner consistent with the highest Masonic ideals.
