Indiana Masonic Home Community Center, located at 590 Red Skelton Cir in Franklin, has a long tradition of serving seniors and Masonic families with simple honesty and genuine care, and you'll find that through its many features and programs, the place values comfort, dignity, and community. The center sits in historic surroundings and offers many inviting spaces, like the Clocktower, Arch 1, Bistro 4, Courtyard View, courtyard garden areas, Gazebo 11, and Greenhouse, as well as comfortable suites and Board and Care homes in residential areas for folks who like a quieter setting. Residents can choose from independent living, assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing, with options like Ball Brothers & Main Building, Freemason Apartments, Garden Home, North Village, South Village, and Young's Creek to meet different needs or preferences.
Care options cover nearly everything, from help with bathing, dressing, and transfers to medication management, meal preparation, and laundry, and they've got personal care assistants who help with daily activities and grooming. There are skilled nurses for wound care, 12-16 hour nursing support, podiatry, occupational therapy, hospice, rehabilitation, and even respite care for primary caregivers needing a break, along with a nurse-owned home care agency focused on helping folks stay independent for as long as possible. If someone needs more help, such as dementia care or post-surgery support, the staff provide that, too, around the clock. The facility believes in companionship, so residents get emotional support, transportation to appointments, and rides for running errands to help them stay part of the larger community.
The center tries to make everything accessible and offers Medicaid, long-term care insurance, and private pay choices to keep care affordable, and there's a Foundation that helps Masonic families who might need extra assistance. For family members caring for their loved ones, the Structured Family Caregiver program lets them get paid for their work, which helps many families. Folks who want to stay at home can get home health services in many towns, including Indianapolis, Plainfield, Zionsville, Brownsburg, Avon, Carmel, Greenwood, Fishers, Beech Grove, and Franklin, with 24/7 live-in care if that's needed. The community has many amenities-housekeeping, kitchens, washers and dryers, cable TV, WiFi, guest parking, a dining room, beauty salon, fitness room, computer center, small library, and activity rooms-and the grounds include safe walkways, a wellness center, scheduled activities, and transportation services that make it easier for residents to get to where they need to go.
Residents enjoy group dining, catered events, social gatherings, education programs, arts and crafts, and health and wellness activities, and the place is used for community events and gatherings, too. Meal services, light housekeeping, gardening spaces, safety features like handicap access and sprinklers, and even child care, all add up to a comfortable and safe environment. With a mission grounded in the Masonic values of support, love, relief, and truth, everyone living or working at the Indiana Masonic Home Community Center can feel part of a place that values mutual care, honesty, and living life meaningfully as needs change over time.
