Home > The Expansion at Western Reserve Masonic Community

Through the support of donors to The Ohio Masonic Communities Foundation, Western Reserve Masonic Community (WRMC) has expanded not only their physical campus, but also improved the quality of life for current and future residents of the community.

The expansion project at WRMC, which was completed in early 2024, includes three elements – a community center, healthcare center, and independent living apartments.

The community center is a beautiful new space that allows staff, residents, families, and community members to gather together. Some of the favorite events in the community center include church services, music performances, luncheons, campus meetings such as town halls and resident councils, and community fundraisers like purse bingo.

The healthcare center features 50 private suites offering short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing care.  It’s a comfort to current and future residents that quality skilled nursing will be available to them should their health and needs change.  The new healthcare center is fully equipped with the luxuries residents desire and the technology that improves the ability of our staff to care for each person to the best of their ability.  Some of the technology highlights include

  • Med Mizer Beds
    • Move to sitting position and rotate 90* to one side
    • Residents and patients are able to move from laying in bed to standing up (and from standing to laying) more safely and with more independence
  • XY Gantry Lift
    • Ceiling-mounted lift system found in the therapy gym and each private suite
    • Using a sling, on their own or with help from a caregiver, a resident or patient can move their entire body or reposition a single limb such as their arm or leg
    • Improves weight bearing and standing both sooner and safer
  • Therapy Cabanas
    • Dedicated therapy spaces that allow the resident or patient and therapist to have privacy during sessions
    • Especially beneficial for physical therapy sessions that involve massage and manipulation therapy techniques
  • Speech Therapy Pod
    • Private room for a resident or patient to work 1:1 with a speech therapist
    • Reduced distractions from the rest of the therapy gym are particularly helpful for assessments
  • ACP Omni
    • OmniVR improves balance, stability, and movement with the use of virtual reality games
    • OmniCycle improves strength and coordination by engaging the upper and lower body in motor-assisted cycling with interactive games and activities
    • OmniSWD uses heat and electromagnetic energy to reduce pain and inflammation in targeted areas of the body

The final element of the expansion is 56 luxury independent living apartments. The apartments are beautiful, but the cornerstone of the addition is the amenities. The new apartment building features an underground parking garage, a 20,000-square-foot common area, state-of-the-art fitness center with a personal trainer, café, bar, and restaurant-style dining room. It’s connection to the original campus building offers easy access to staff and other on campus amenities such as the beauty parlor, movie theater, additional restaurant-style dining room, and woodshop.

 

Your Role in the Expansion

It’s the small details and focus on helping community members live their best lives that make The Ohio Masonic Communities different – things that insurance doesn’t reimburse and capital support does not include. This is what donors make possible.

What One Resident Shared

“The best part about living here? I’m enjoying retired life and can relax in my room and read or come out and spend a day reminiscing with new friends. What’s not perfect? I don’t go to the gym very often because I get my workout in walking to and from the dining room. It’s a long walk! But I suppose you’re fixing that with the new addition. Thanks for making my life a lot more convenient. Now, can you help me come up with a new excuse to skip going to the gym?”
