Long-Term Financial Assistance

The Long-Term Financial Assistance Program assists eligible senior adults who do not have adequate income and assets available to pay the entire cost of their care needs and living expenses. Individuals may receive assistance whether they reside in their homes, apartments, independent living facilities, or assisted living facilities.

In addition to individual assistance, our team can help explain the types of long-term assistance care available.

“In the teachings of the Masonic Fraternity, we talk about brotherly love, relief and truth, and charity is one of our cardinal virtues.  The Masonic Home, through its programs, brings words into action and deeds.  Since being on the Home Board, I have witnessed the work that is done, the actions that are taken and the people who have been helped. It is inspiring.  The dedicated staff of the Home is spectacular and their dedication makes contributing to this charity worthwhile.”
