Masonic Village at Elizabethtown is a licensed continuing care retirement community that provides a full spectrum of health services on one campus. Residents can transition among independent living, personal care, memory support and skilled nursing without leaving the property. Medical coverage includes 24-hour nursing, regular on-site physician clinics, medication administration, wound care, IV therapy and post-hospital rehabilitation delivered in a Medicare-certified short-stay unit. Memory support neighborhoods use secured layouts, specialized staff training and evidence-based routines to address the needs of individuals living with dementia. Emergency response systems are built into each care setting, and the community maintains direct access to local hospitals for acute episodes.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the community offers a coordinated wellness program that blends physical, occupational and speech therapies with fitness classes and health education. A therapy gym, aquatic center and adaptive exercise equipment support restorative programming aimed at maintaining mobility and balance. Social workers guide care planning, while an on-site pharmacy, laboratory services and scheduled transportation to outside medical appointments reduce logistical burdens. Hospice, respite and palliative care partnerships help residents and families manage advanced or end-of-life stages with continuity.
The campus contains apartments, cottages and health-center suites designed for varying care levels. Floor plans range from studios to two-bedroom models and include features such as private baths, kitchenettes, individual climate control, cable, Wi-Fi and emergency call pendants, though not every residence has every feature. Housekeeping, laundry and maintenance are provided according to the service agreement, and some areas of the campus are pet-friendly. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Dining options include restaurant-style dining rooms, a casual café and a grab-and-go market. Three daily meals are prepared under the guidance of registered dietitians, and therapeutic diets, carbohydrate-controlled menus and texture modifications are available when ordered by medical staff. Flexible meal times and take-out containers accommodate varied schedules, while special-occasion catering can be arranged for family gatherings. Meal plans differ by residence type, and not all dining venues are included with every contract.
