The Masonic Village at Elizabethtown was established in 1910 as a charitable tax-exempt institution and is
owned and operated by the Right Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania.
Our caring communities and services assist individuals, families and children in realizing their potential and
enjoying the highest possible quality of life through the traditions of Freemasonry.
Retirement Living is an independent living area that offers a variety of living accommodations
with accessibility to health care services, if needed. There are entrance fee and rental fee units
available.
Personal Care is located in the Freemasons Building offering accommodations for 127 residents.
This area provides some assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, medications and
transportation.
This lifestyle provides three meals a day with close proximity to the dining rooms. Medical
services are easily accessible, and assistance is available 24 hours a day.
The Masonic Health Care Center cares for 453 residents requiring various levels of nursing care,
including dementia, Transitional Care and Hospice Care. Bright, cheerful surroundings and a well
qualified, caring staff help to promote a home-like atmosphere.
The Adult Daily Living Center provides day caring for individuals 18 and over with physical and/
or cognitive challenges. This program offers a quality cost-effective alternative for families with
adult relatives who would benefit from daily ongoing support services and socialization.
The Bleiler Caring Cottage responds to the needs of individuals with intellectual developmental
disabilities. The cottage is home to 8 adults and provides support services and socialization
helping those residents to enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle.
The Outreach Program provides information and direction to Masonic and non-Masonic families
across the United States. Assistance is offered to individuals and families with varied needs.
Referrals, education and home assistance are the tools used to guide and assist those in need.
Our Children’s Home was established in 1913 and was originally a single building unit. The
Children’s Home was relocated in the early 1990’s to modern, attractive, well-equipped cottages
for the children. Children are not required to have Masonic affiliation to receive services
however, a Masonic Lodge sponsorship is needed to be considered for admission.
Services are provided to school age children who come from a variety of situations. The goals of
the Children’s Home are to prepare children for independent living and create a homelike
environment.
The Masonic Conference Center, formerly known as the Thomas Ranken Patton Masonic
Institution for Boys, is also an integral part of the Masonic Village. This facility is the home of
the Pennsylvania Youth Foundation, which offers programs for DeMolay, Rainbow Girls and
Job’s Daughters. The complex includes an indoor swimming pool, enabling the youth groups and
the residents the opportunity for year round swimming.
