5. What if I am unable to pay my monthly fee?
Generous contributions enable the Masonic Villages to service eligible individuals, Masons and non-Masons alike, as part of our Mission of Love. As long as you maintain your eligibility for Medicaid and other third-party reimbursement, you will not be asked to leave based solely on your financial means. The Masonic Village will help you to apply for all funds available for the services provided.
