At the Masonic Home of Virginia, we love to say Welcome Home, home to a unique caring community of Masonic friends.
Situated on ninety pristine acres just outside the city limits of Richmond , Virginia, is a gated community of active residents who are served by a caring staff of dedicated professionals. Imagine living in a place where your children, friends and relatives all know that you are safe and enjoying a quality of life that is treasured by all.
The primary mission of the Home is to embody the Masonic principle of care for others. Masons obligate themselves to constantly care for others. For that purpose, members of the Masonic Fraternity founded this community of care in 1890 and continue to support it through their financial gifts and with their volunteer efforts.
Therefore, we are a community with Masonic ties… Freemasonry has for centuries taught men, like fourteen United States presidents, to care for others. Imagine living in a neighborhood where you know you share basic and fundamental views of life with your neighbors In our unique community, traditions continue through the basic Masonic principles of love and care of family, neighbor, God and Country, these are the keystones of the Masonic Home of Virginia. This is the ONLY Masonic-related continuing care retirement community in Virginia and one of the few of its kind in America .
Therefore, we welcome any Virginia Mason age sixty-five (65) or older, or his wife or widow who has reached the age of sixty-two (62). For Masons living in Virginia who have been in the Fraternity for ten years and who may not be a member of a Virginia Lodge, simply affiliating with a Virginia Lodge will enable you to apply for residency in our Home. Of course, as a facility licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia, applicants must meet certain health and medical guidelines.
