A popular gathering place, The Hultman Day Room is the nerve center for our building. It offers a piano, big screen TV for Husker games (complete with popcorn), Wii bowling, sporting events and community channel events, aviary, card games, conversation centers, and a puzzle area. This is a place that draws people together, promoting fun and jocularity. This room should always have the rumble of joy exuding from within!

This project includes: a complete renovation and modernization of the space.

Over the past several years we have had issues with moisture and peeling paint in the Chapel. This is now a restoration project. Anyone who has been here knows how special the Chapel is with the beautiful stained-glass windows surrounding the room. The Chapel is used for a multitude of things such as presentations, movies, and meetings. The Chapel is a vital and important part of The Home. We want to fix, upgrade, and polish this wonderful space back to or even better than its original glory.

This project includes: addressing the moisture issues, lift issues, seating, lighting, sound, and other updates to make this well-used space into an inviting gathering place.

Our Memory Care Center is absolutely gorgeous.  While there are not as many residents that live in this area it is an area that gets a lot of hard use.  The furniture is being upgraded.  While this process has started, we would love to have your help finishing this project.

This project includes: durable resident recliners and sofas and other furniture for visitors.

EEK! I turned 70 this year. What is my future? Answer: Planning! Since my retirement, I wanted to move forward and enjoy life and not be a burden to my children. I have been involved with The Masonic Home since the mid 70’s and am honored to serve on the Board of Trustees. My commitment to The Home became a reality when my mother was a resident. What a great experience for her and my family for her to receive care in an enjoyable environment. The Nebraska Masonic Home is in my future, and I ask my brother Masons and family for The Masonic Home to be in your plans.

We are listening to our residents who feel our common areas should be an extension of their rooms where they can enjoy going out and gathering for coffee, games, the news, and maybe even a movie or two. We want to enhance these areas and make upgrades to the room that has a pool table and other common areas. We want to add activities like shuffleboard and electronic games as well as a couple big screen tv’s and an entertainment area with a dry bar and refrigerator. Maybe even splash on a new coat of paint. An active home is a happy home!

This project includes: painting spaces, purchasing interactive games & electronics, furniture for entertaining and relaxing. 

Let’s get our hands in the dirt and have furniture that is usable for our residents on our patios.  Garden boxes bring joy to those of our residents who loved to garden before coming to The Home.  Gardening is therapy for the soul.  For those who do not like the dirt we would like to have a comfortable area to relax and enjoy the outdoors.  This includes chairs and furniture that are usable by our residents and umbrellas to keep them out of the sun.

This project includes: replacing and adding new furniture and sun shade sails as well as additional garden boxes.

This space is surrounded by concrete and is very warm in the summer months. We would like to make improvements that make this space more useable. We picture a comfortable outdoor space to gather with family and friends during the summer months. We want to encourage our residents to enjoy the great outdoors and fresh air.

This project includes: furniture, canopy, and colorful pots.

Existing space and furniture.

New outdoor couches, chairs, and tables.
