Masonic Villages

What Masonic Villages does

Masonic Villages of Pennsylvania is a nonprofit continuing care retirement community (CCRC) operator affiliated with the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania through Masonic Charities, founded in 1874 and headquartered at the Elizabethtown campus. The organization operates five campuses across Pennsylvania (Dallas, Elizabethtown, Lafayette Hill, Sewickley, and Warminster) and a wholly-owned subsidiary network that includes Masonic Village Home Care, Masonic Village Home Health, Masonic Village Hospice, Masonic Village Pharmacy, and the Bleiler Caring Cottage for adults with intellectual disabilities. It delivers a full continuum of care: active retirement living (apartments, suites, studios, townhomes, cottages, villas), personal care/assisted living, skilled nursing/long-term care, memory support, transitional care/rehabilitation, home-based services, and hospice.

The underlying technology stack is care-delivery-oriented rather than software-platform-oriented, comprising BioDex rehabilitation equipment with LSVT BIG and LOUD therapy methods, a Transitional Care Unit with advanced therapy infrastructure, the Brain Fitness program with board and card games plus monthly lectures, and the Care Navigator program that assigns staff to guide residents through medical care decisions. Revenue mechanics combine one-time entrance fees (life-lease/perpetual license model) with recurring monthly service fees, supplemented by Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for skilled nursing, home health, hospice, and transitional care, plus private pay for non-medical home care and donations/planned giving (including the Franklin Legacy Society and Compassionate Care Fund). Masonic Villages serves more than 2,400 staff across the five campuses and offers free employee wellness memberships at select locations; the organization is governed as a mission-driven nonprofit and is recognized for its 150-year operating history with multiple industry awards.

Revenue model

1. Monthly Service Fees: Residents pay a monthly service fee that covers many expenses including maintenance-free living, financial security, and access to care services. The fee structure varies by accommodation type (apartments, suites, studios, townhomes, cottages, villas) and level of care. Fee conveniently bundles expenses for easy budgeting.
2. Entrance Fee / Life Lease: Senior living apartments, suites, studios, townhomes, cottages and villas are available with entrance fees. The life lease guarantee ensures access to personal care and nursing care services as needs evolve. Rental apartments offer the same benefits without the up-front entrance fee.
3. Medicare and Medicaid Reimbursement: Masonic Villages are Medicare and Medicaid approved. Services covered include skilled nursing, home health, hospice, and transitional care. Medicare covers hospital stays, hospice care, skilled nursing, and some home health with no premiums for Part A. Medicaid covers nursing home charges when assets are depleted.
4. Home Care and Home Health Services: Home care (non-medical assistance) is paid privately and available to local community and residents. Home health services (clinical care post-illness/injury) are covered by Medicare and many insurance plans for the local community and residents.
5. Donations and Planned Giving: Generous supporters contribute to various designated funds including general operations endowment, fraternal care assistance for depleted residents, compassionate care fund, hospice care, employee assistance, and capital projects. The Franklin Legacy Society recognizes planned giving through estate plans.
