Masonic Village at Burlington

UPDATE: Today I attended an event here after being invited to a presentation for potential residents. We had a very informative safety awareness session led by the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management. The speakers, Kristen Carr and Trooper Joseph Aloi from NJSP OEM, shared practical tips on staying safe and healthy during extreme summer heat conditions. A delicious lunch and a tour were provided by April, and special thanks to Brenda and Meagan for organizing such a thoughtful and well-run event. We toured two separate one-bedroom apartments — one on the first floor and a larger one on the third floor with a really beautiful view. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, professional, and welcoming. The building and grounds also appeared very well maintained. One funny note: the interior layout of the building is fairly unique, so it took me a little while to find the correct exit afterward 😂 Fortunately, with a little help, I eventually made my way out. Overall, it was a very positive experience and an informative introduction to the community. ***************************** - Masonic Village at Burlington is a beautiful, well-maintained community with a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. The grounds are especially impressive—spacious, landscaped, and perfect for a relaxing walk. Everything feels thoughtfully cared for, from the buildings to the surrounding environment. There’s a quiet ease to this place. It feels calm without trying to be—just a comfortable, peaceful environment that speaks for itself. It’s easy to sense the quality of life here. A truly lovely place to visit or consider.

My stay was very comfortable. They made me feel as if I were at home. The staff were very compassionate and understanding. The service was excellent. The meals were good, and always on time. The rooms were spacious with personal bathrooms. Excellent activities. Therapy was excellent and really helped my recovery progression. I loved my therapists!! The amenities were excellent. The Release Ceremony was awesome and brought tears to my eyes. I recommend Masonic Village to anyone in need of occupational therapy.

My mother lived at Masonic for three years and I am deeply grateful for the care she received there. She first moved into an independent apartment, then had a short term stay in their rehab facility after a hospital stay, and shortly thereafter transferred into their assisted living. As a nurse for more than 35 years, my mother understood quality caregiving and greatly appreciated the staff who cared for her. The nurses, aides, and other team members consistently treated her with kindness, dignity, and respect. They took the time to get to know her as a person, not just as a resident. During her final months, she received hospice care, through VITAS and both teams of staff coordinated her care smoothly, always with remarkable compassion and professionalism. Their patience, warmth, and attention to both my mother’s needs and our family’s concerns provided tremendous comfort during a very difficult time. One of the things that stood out most was the genuine relationships the staff built with residents. My mother often spoke about the people who cared for her and looked forward to seeing them each day. I would highly recommend Masonic Village to families seeking a caring and supportive environment for a loved one. I will always be grateful for the kindness and dedication shown to my mother.

My father had heart valve replacement surgery in April went to a rehab in Whiting, NJ ended back in hospital with an infection so he was laid up even longer with not much mobility, he couldn’t even feed himself he was so weak, we then switched him to the Masonic short term rehab for 24 days, when he arrived there he could barely use his legs or arms due to the surgery and infection. I have to say at first I wasn’t so sure about this place, but they turned out to be ok. My father said the food was a hit or miss, the nurses and aides as well which is anywhere you go, he did have a favorite aid and I wish I could remember her name because she really deserves the praise, she treated my dad with respect, she really is good at her job, when my brother or I couldn’t be there if she was working she would take him to eat at the Bistro to help him out, she really was fantastic. Also, the rehab which I can’t say enough good things about that as well, my father had lots of good things to say about Ernie, I truly believe if my father had stayed in longer he would have been back to walking independently and not with a walker, which we are still working on that at home. He was in bad shape so I give praise to Ernie and the rest of the physical therapist for there hard work, excellent job 👍
