Things are changing at Masonic Village. At least on the outside.
Pardon our “dust,” as we complete renovations to our façade and construct
a new apartment building. To enhance safety for those who live, work and visit
our community, we are re-locating our main entrance to the intersection of Ridge
Pike and Manor Road with a traffic light and dedicated turning lanes and signals.
Our foundation remains the same. Built upon a Mission of Love, we are
committed to making high quality services available to as many people as
possible, regardless of their ability to pay. In 2014, Masonic Village at Lafayette
Hill provided charitable care worth $2.38 million to those unable to afford it.
Please see the back page for a detailed community benefits summary.
For more information about any of Masonic Village’s community or
resident services, please refer to the phone numbers listed to the left or visit our
website, www.MasonicVillages.org. Thank you to all who partner with Masonic
Village in support of our broader community.
About Masonic Villages
Set on more than 21 scenic
acres in beautiful Montgomery
County, Masonic Village at Lafayette
Hill is a not-for-profit continuing
care retirement community. It offers
retirement living apartments, personal
care suites, nursing accommodations
and ancillary services.
Founded in 1871, the campus
was acquired in 2004 by the Masonic
Villages of the Grand Lodge of
Pennsylvania, which also provides
retirement living and other services in
Dallas, Elizabethtown, Sewickley and
Warminster, Pa.
In 2014, through the charity
of Pennsylvania Freemasons and
their families and others who have
contributed to its Mission, all five
Masonic Villages combined provided
charity care and services worth
approximately $35 million across the
state to individuals unable to pay for
their care.

Educational Opportunities
In 2014, Masonic Village welcomed students from
regional high schools, colleges and universities to see firsthand the various functions of a not-for-profit health care
organization.
•• Through Corinthian/JAAMA Workready, three students
worked with the recreation department learning the
functions of the profession and implementing programs.
Two students from Springfield Township High School
collaborated with the department to complete a
community project for one of their classes. The final
result was a show they planned, orchestrated and
performed for Masonic Village residents.
•• Two interns from the Philabundance Community
Kitchen worked with the food services department
and participated in training and chef demonstrations.
Masonic Village staff also helped them with graduation
speeches and mock interviewing. Staff contributed more
than 160 hours to overseeing these students.
•• Seven students from La Salle University School of Nursing
and eight students from Drexel University completed their
public health clinical by offering educational sessions
on various health topics for residents. This collaboration
enhances the students’ learning experience while
providing valuable information to Masonic Village
residents. La Salle students organized a health fair for
residents. Staff contributed more than 100 hours to
overseeing nursing students.
“On behalf of the Corinthian/JAAMA Empowerment Workready Summer program at Imhotep Charter School,
we would like to thank the Masonic Village of Lafayette Hill for partnering with us as a worksite for youth in our
summer program for the past three years. The youth who have worked at your site have learned a great deal from their
experiences, and we hope they were great assets to your organization, as well.
The Corinthian/JAAMA Workready program provides a structured wage-bearing work experience for youth with
limited exposure to the world of work. At Masonic Village, youth were engaged in structured experiences. Youth were
able to further explore a desired career path, as well as practice 21st century skills.”
~ Michelle R. Wilson, M.Ed., Corinthian/JAAMA Empowerment program director
