We support people with a Masonic connection, as well as people in the wider community who do not have a connection to Freemasonry. Where a Home has a waiting list of residents who wish to come into the Home, priority will always be given to Freemasons and their families, as long as we can support the person’s needs. To view a list of all our Homes before completing an application form, visit our main Homes’ Page.

Our Care Checklist section below provides some useful information for those considering the different care options, along with common FAQs. You can also find out more about what we’re doing as a charity to support our residents during these challenging times in our Safety section.
