Springfield Masonic Community in Springfield, OH delivers licensed nursing-home care designed for residents who need continuous clinical oversight. Registered and licensed practical nurses are on duty around the clock, supported by certified nursing assistants who help with daily activities such as bathing, mobility and medication reminders. Skilled nursing services extend to wound care, IV therapy and ongoing health assessments, ensuring that residents receive hospital-level attention in a residential setting.
Beyond the core nursing support, the community operates as a secured environment to safeguard residents who may be at risk of wandering. A speech therapist is available for communication or swallowing challenges, and an established diabetes management program monitors blood glucose levels, coordinates insulin administration and provides nutritional guidance. Families looking for short-term solutions can arrange respite stays, giving caregivers a break while their loved one receives the same clinical services and security offered to long-term residents.
Residences range from private suites to companion rooms, each climate-controlled and wired for cable or satellite TV and high-speed Wi-Fi. Select units add kitchenettes, balconies, patios or decks, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Some accommodations include views of the central fireplace or outdoor areas, and pet-friendly rooms are available; however, not every room has every feature, so confirming specific needs in advance is recommended.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style three times daily, with all-day dining options for residents who prefer flexible schedules. The culinary team offers international dishes, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low- or no-sodium and no-sugar selections, and guests can join residents for meals. Special diet orders are coordinated with nursing staff to align with medical requirements.
Residents can spend time outdoors, cultivate vegetables in raised garden beds, or cool off in the swimming pool. An activity center hosts karaoke nights, live music, dances, birthday celebrations and intergenerational programs. Those interested in quieter pursuits find a library and computer lounge, while fitness programs, yoga or chair yoga classes support mobility. A woodworking shop, social outings and regular happy hours round out the services aimed at keeping residents mentally and physically active.
