Masonic Homes Of California

THE MASONIC HOMES OF CALIFORNIA PROMOTES THE QUALITY OF LIFE BY EMPOWERING OUR MEMBERS.

OPERATION OF HOMES FOR THE ELDERLY (ADULT RESIDENTIAL SERVICE): MASONIC HOMES FOLLOWS AN "AGING IN PLACE" APPROACH TO CARE AND SERVICES. THIS MEANS WE TRY TO BRING NEEDED SERVICES TO RESIDENTS INSTEAD OF HAVING THEM GO TO THE SERVICES. RESIDENTS ENJOY THE SECURITY OF KNOWING THAT MULTIPLE LEVELS OF CARE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO THEM ON THE SAME CAMPUS. THE MASONIC HOMES OF CALIFORNIA OFFER THE FOLLOWING LEVELS OF SERVICE:- INDEPENDENT LIVING - RESIDENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE ALL OF THEIR OWN CARE, EVEN THOUGH SOME USE WALKERS OR CANES. - ASSISTED LIVING - RESIDENTS ARE ABLE TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY WHILE RECEIVING ASSISTANCE WITH ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING, SUCH AS BATHING, TAKING MEDICATIONS AND DRESSING. - SKILLED NURSING - THE MEDICAL FACILITY AT UNION CITY MAKES AROUND-THE-CLOCK NURSING AND CUSTODIAL CARE AVAILABLE TO RESIDENTS. RESIDENTS OF COVINA RECEIVE THIS LEVEL OF CARE IN FACILITIES OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS OR ON THE UNION CITY CAMPUS, DEPENDING UPON THEIR CHOICES.- MEMORY CARE - A 16-BED SECURE UNIT NAMED TRADITIONS IS LOCATED ON THE UNION CITY CAMPUS. IT ALLOWS STAFF TO PROVIDE OPTIMAL CARE AND A PROTECTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE RESIDENTS. - HOSPICE - BOTH HOMES IN UNION CITY AND COVINA OFFER A HOSPICE PROGRAM INTENDED FOR RESIDENTS WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM A TERMINAL ILLNESS OR ARE IN NEED OF PAIN MANAGEMENT. HOSPICE ALLOWS RESIDENTS TO STAY IN THEIR OWN HOMES AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
