The Ohio Masonic Communities

I absolutely would recommend to others. Browning has lifted my mom's spirit. It feels like a community rather than a wing in a building. It just has a great friendly, professional vibe.

[name removed] the activities director. She is great with the residents in memory care. My Mom is taken care of by the assist workers. Medical staff is very attentive to residents health concerns. Place is very clean! My mom gets her hair and nails done their. A beautiful place. My Mom is safe and secure at Browning Masonic Community.

Talk to people, staff should acknowledge you and encourage questions and be helpful. Also talk to residents. I suggest visiting on more than one occasion, if you have the opportunity. I started looking at places BEFORE they needed a place. They were wonderful! They have lots of great outings and events going on.

Everything/everyone has been kind, helpful and understanding my parents apprehension of leaving their home. All spaces are clean. The staff is amazing and super helpful! My Dad was in short term care for 8 weeks due to a fractured pelvis. The regular staff was wonderful to him & to our whole family. A few Agency nurses were just okay. The food is good a good variety the dining room is very nice. There are lots of activities my Mom has done a few things but with Dad recovering he is just starting to venture out more. I don't know what other places charge but we are very happy with everything.

It has been a great place for my mom. All the ratings categories above are good questions you want to ask about a place during your search. And Browning has hit a home run on all of those aspects. My mom likes it there. She's telling her friends that, and not just me. When I go there, I feel really relaxed. And I feel the same when I leave. It's a good feeling. It's a nice place.

Springfield Masonic Community is one of the cleanest places I have ever been. I would like for dad to get out and do more, but I know they have had some covid issues with staffing so they have cut back on their normal amount of activities. He has been a apart of the masonic community -he used to volunteer and things like that and so this is the only place he wanted to come when he knew he had to go somewhere. He does have a lot of friends so that has been nice. I would definitely recommend them to others.

My mom chose this place after viewing quite a few and loves it! The apartments are big with a lot of room to move around, maybe 800sqft. They’re just magnificent. The staff is wonderful and helpful, the rooms get cleaned about once every other week and the facility is spotless. It is independent living so there’s a lot that’s left up to the residents to get done themselves. I’ve eaten there with mom a couple of times and every time, the food is just great. They have a great big dining room, linen on the tables, and menus that you choose your meals from where they bring it right to you. There are steaks, hamburgers, basically whatever you’d like. It truly is like a five-star restaurant. There’s a community center and they have football parties, they’ve had a luau, and there’s even an exercise facility so there’s always something to do. Everyone that lives there seems to be pretty friendly and welcoming. It certainly isn’t cheap, but for a place of quality that feels like home, it’s worth it. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a facility that’s made for independent living. It’s hands down the nicest place that my mom and I have found and I think she’s very happy here.

This is a very nice community with nice people. My mother really likes it here. The community is very clean, they do a very good job keeping everything nice and clean. Her apartment is very nice, it is always clean when I visit. The staff is wonderful, they have been very kind and helpful with everything. They really care about the residents. The food is good, they do a very well job severing everybody. She is in independent living, but she accesses to help if she needs it.

What we like the most about Springfield Masonic Community is the location and based on the experience we have had, we would recommend them to other families.

I had a great tour experience with Springfield Masonic Community. This was actually my second choice out of the few that I was looking at but they told me I did not make enough to qualify to live there unfortunately.

My experience at Scottish Rite has been good overall. I like that the staff is friendly and responsive and I liked that the community is clean and well-maintained. I think the food is alright, but I would rather cook my own if there was a kitchenette in my room. I feel that the occupational and physical therapies need to be more efficient. Both of them seem a little disorganized. Generally, I think Scottish Rite is a good community, but I would appreciate more independence
