Brethren, Ladies and Families,
I hope this letter finds you well, enjoying this fall weather and time with loved ones and friends. Our campuses continue to provide amazing opportunities for those looking to retire and leave the yardwork and home upkeep behind. We are blessed to have a front seat watching our community members live their best lives and thrive with the peace of mind that we are there if they
need anything.
As always, there are many exciting changes happening at The Ohio Masonic Communities, big and small. With the repositioning of our Western Reserve Masonic community completed in 2024, we now have our sights set on repositioning our Springfield Masonic Community. At the beginning of October, we began clearing the way, literally, for our new Healthcare Center and assisted living neighborhoods. The new buildings will expand our assisted living capacity and create 24 new assisted living memory care apartments, which will be consistent with our other campuses. These changes align with the demand for services we are seeing, while replacing outdated and inefficient buildings with
state-of-the-art spaces where we can provide high-quality
care for many years to come.
Operationally, our three campuses and resource center are providing a significant amount of care and resources throughout the state. I am happy to report that our Western Reserve Masonic Community was awarded the Best Skilled Nursing/Post Acute Care Renovation/Repositioning award by Senior Housing News Architecture and Design Awards. This is very exciting news as there was a lot of hard work and commitment that went into completing the repositioning project at that campus. The design of this campus was made possible by way of collaboration between our staff, residents and community members, RDL Architects, Inc, Baile Senior Development, and EDI. The design’s focus was to provide a feeling of home in all care levels.
The quality of care at our communities continues to produce exceptional outcomes, which is only made possible by the team of dedicated staff and their commitment to all of those we are so blessed to care for. I am happy to share that the Healthcare Centers at Western Reserve Masonic Community and Springfield Masonic Community have received national recognition as Best Nursing Homes by Newsweek for a second year in a row. This ranks our communities in the top 8% of providers in the country based on performance, recommendations of medical staff, accreditations, and resident satisfaction.
Fraternally,
Brother Scott Buchanan
CEO, The Ohio Masonic Communities
