Compass Park Indiana Masonic Home sits on 320 acres of park-like grounds, which gives people plenty of room to enjoy lighted walking trails, a putting green, a greenhouse, and a stocked fishing pond, with the main center marked by a clock tower and fountain. The community has served more than 9,000 people since 1915 and was set up by the Freemasons, keeping traditions about care and kindness for Indiana adults who are 55 or older, whether they are Masonic members, family, or others who need a safe place. People live in cottages, duplexes, garden homes, or apartments, and the independent living options try to fit a variety of lifestyle needs and budgets, with neighborhoods like North Village, South Village, Young's Creek, Ball Brothers & Main Building, and Freemason Apartments, and there are also guest suites and storage units for extra convenience.
Many social groups, clubs, devotionals, and outings bring people together, and common rooms plus two chapels and a library with a computer lab mean neighbors can catch up, pray together, or read quietly indoors. The Wellness Center and swimming pool sit inside the Community and Event Center, which also offers space for meetings, reunions, weddings, and fundraisers of all kinds, and the on-site fitness center helps residents stay healthy, while the beauty salon/barbershop keeps everyone looking neat, and the greenhouse and outdoor dining areas offer somewhere relaxing for residents and visitors to enjoy. The Discovery Center provides childcare, adding another layer for multi-generational families or visitors.
Dining choices include The Archway Dining Room, Bistro, and private or outdoor dining rooms, aiming to fit needs like vegetarian, gluten-free, no-sugar, or low-sodium meals, and the menus adjust as needed. Housekeeping and laundry services are available if residents want them, plus home maintenance, snow removal, water softener service, and utilities are included in many plans, making day-to-day living simpler. Those who need help managing medications, dealing with diabetes, or who want in-home health visits can use the Home Health service, which also takes care of non-ambulatory, high acuity, and incontinence needs.
Those with Alzheimer's or other memory issues can get specialized memory care, while the Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center provides long-term care, hospice, rehab, and palliative support, plus on-site podiatry, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, and laboratory services, so residents don't have to travel for basic medical care. There are also respite or short-term stays for those who need a place to recover, and a transitional care unit with over ten beds helps with moving from the hospital back home.
There's always something happening, between off-site trips, devotional services on or off campus, and opportunities for fishing, gardening, or relaxing outside. Security staff and an emergency call system keep things safe, and covered parking, transportation services, and a shuttle help people get around or visit family. Those using the Fraternal Plan, where all assets and income are turned over, find unique support thanks to the facility's tie to the Indiana Masonic Home organization, and the staff strives to help with planning and navigating the choices for living arrangements and payment options.
Compass Park puts a focus on belonging, guided by traditions of love, relief, and truth, and while it's proud of its history, it mostly tries to make daily life comfortable, supportive, and connected for older adults at all stages, whether someone wants retirement living, assisted living, skilled care, or just a good spot to connect with others.
