George Tilden and Ron Nockengost have known each other for many years. As friends, coworkers, and, most importantly, Brothers of
Adoniram-Joppa Lodge #517 in Akron. After Ron’s wife passed away, his health began to decline and he needed comfort and assistance. George stepped up to support his Brother in need, even becoming his power of attorney (POA).
Health issues, a hospitalization, and much needed rehabilitation led Ron to assisted living. The Ohio Masonic Communities Resource Center (OMCRC) and George provided well checks at home and supported Ron through the process as he sold his home and organized his personal belongings. Ron had a sense of peace knowing he wasn’t doing this alone. Through the resource center, we helped to make a referral to an assisted living facility where Ron is doing so well that his health and independence have improved and he is now in independent living and working in the campus store!
