The Beginning
Since opening the doors in 1903, The Home has focused on creating a gracious, dignified lifestyle for its residents.
Masons have always had an obligation to aid and assist needy and distressed brother Master Masons, their wives, widows, mothers, sisters, daughters, grandmothers, and granddaughters.
The Masons of Nebraska defined that obligation to include shelter, food, clothing, health services and burial for qualified members of the fraternity and their eligible female relatives. The Nebraska Masonic Home was incorporated in 1888 and established on September 1, 1903 in Plattsmouth, Nebraska.
Since opening the doors in 1903, The Home has focused on creating a gracious, dignified lifestyle for its residents. Through the years The Home evolved from the original 3-story, 16-room home to the current facility.

The Nebraska Masonic Home opened.
The
Beginning
June 22, 1903:
The White property was purchased for $5,000 for The Nebraska Masonic Home.
There are 29 apartments/units that offer comfort and security to our residents. The Second Floor of the Spencer Wing houses 19 rooms in our Assisted Living Center where a higher level of assisted living is available to these residents. On the Third Floor of the Spencer Wing is where four levels of Long Term Care are provided.
Memory Care is available for those residents requiring more extended care and continuous monitoring. The specialized care provided to the residents with Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementia-related illnesses in the self-contained, living environment will greatly improve the quality of life for these residents.
The Home is a non-profit corporation under the laws of Nebraska. The Home was to be available for needy, elderly Nebraska Master Masons and those female relatives that might become dependent on them. During the intervening years, new buildings were erected and new admission criteria and services were added to better meet the needs of our membership and changing times.
