It’s been an eventful year, beginning with our 150th
Anniversary Gala at The Olmsted, where we kicked
off a year-long celebration of heritage, hope and
home. Our annual Alumni Reunion was a special time
to gather to reminisce and celebrate the incredible
impact Masonic Homes has had on so many people.
We hosted a number of events that help support
our communities and celebrate our anniversary, and
we made tremendous progress on Meadow Active
Lifestyle Community and Grove Pointe Assisted
Living Community, our newest developments. In
addition, a new bakery and restaurant are under
construction that will ensure our residents enjoy
the best dining experience, thanks to our top
hospitality and dining service employees (XXXX).
Our continual evolution ensures we are keeping up
with the times so that we can meet the changing
needs of today’s—and tomorrow’s—residents.

for the
Caregiver
11 me s s e nge r resident /serviceCaring for an elderly parent
or relative suffering from
Alzheimer’s disease or another
form of dementia can be
challenging. At Masonic Homes,
we believe that supporting the
caregiver is an important part
of resident care. Our goal is
to provide care to the entire
community, not just those who
live on campus or use our
services.
On the third Tuesday of each
month, Masonic Homes hosts an
Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support
Group. This monthly meeting
provides a safe, confidential and
supportive environment for
individuals caring for a patient
with Alzheimer’s disease or
additional types of dementia.
The program educates
participants about types of
memory loss, and teaches
valuable methods and skills to
solve problems. By discussing
this information in a group
setting, participants are able to
develop social relationships with
others experiencing the same
situation, and in turn provide
mutual support for one another.
The Alzheimer’s Caregiver
Support Group takes place
every third Tuesday of each

The 218th Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky was held at the
Galt House Hotel in Louisville on October 16 this year.
Awards were given out to 47 lodges and groups that have had a significant role in
the history of Masonic Homes in a variety of ways, including having members who
served on the first Board of Directors, members who gave monetary donations to
help construct and improve the campus, and members who were once orphans of
Masonic Homes.
Most Worshipful Tim Sanders was installed as the Grand Master of Kentucky Masons
for the 2017-2018 year. In addition, five Brothers were elected to the Masonic
Homes of Kentucky Board of Directors, including XXXX. While Masonic Homes is
thrilled to welcome each of these Brothers to the board, we also thank those who
have served on our board, whose terms have come to an end, including XXXX. We
appreciate the time each of these members dedicated to Masonic Homes.
Founded in 1867 as the first of its kind in the world, Masonic Homes of Kentucky
has remained dedicated to serving others in communities across Kentucky. Kentucky
Masons and Lodges have been visionary leaders that set the standard for fulfilling
our Masonic obligations. While all Masons were involved, there were many historical
milestones and remarkable individuals worthy of recognition.
