“I am very grateful for The Nebraska Masonic Home, and I would live there if I needed to.”

Nancy Hull
Daughter of Resident Helen Blom

“My dear mom has resided at The Nebraska Masonic Home for 3 1/2 years. She is 102 years old. She is so happy and content, and I know this is because of the loving and excellent care she receives each day. Many on the staff have become extended family for her and for me too. I am truly grateful!”

Mary Jo Osterholm
Daughter of resident Doris Hirz

"Mom moved in when she was 96 years old and was able to decorate her own place, enjoy the many fun activities and look forward to delicious meals. In April, Mom turned 103 years old. Mom still gets a sparkle in her eye when she says, "I just love this place!""

Sharon Jones
Daughter to resident Zella Grant

"My mom is a new resident at The Nebraska Masonic Home. With the help of a dedicated and caring staff she has transitioned well, is involved in activities, and has been welcomed by other residents. "

Steve Hunt
Son to resident Vada Hunt

"In November 2019 I moved my dad into The Nebraska Masonic Home. It was a difficult decision, because I live in Florida. My Dad receives incredibly loving care, and I know without a doubt, if he had been anywhere else during Covid, we would have lost him."

Cheryl A. Rizk
Daughter to resident James Ryals

"The regular health checks with my dad and family let us know his condition and help us to understand his medication needs. We are so glad we chose The Masonic Home for his care."

Jim Fleming
Son to resident Ballard Fleming

"Our family has been so grateful for the caring, welcoming home The Nebraska Masonic Home has provided for our mom (and Dad prior to his passing). She thrives on socialization and would be much more isolated if trying to live on her own. Mom enjoys the activities and the beautiful grounds surrounding The Home."

Debbie Carson
Daughter to Ken and Corky Fleming
