Similarly, I was inspired at the Old Home Kids alumni reunion we hosted, where more than 50 people gathered to remember their time growing up at Masonic Homes. Hearing about the lives that were touched thanks to the generosity of Masons was a special experience. Throughout the year, we’ve heard stories from alumni like Bill Easterling, who remembers working in our Masonic Home print shop when he was in 7th grade, to Doyle Stewart, who remembers how he and the other children used to inscribe their names and dates they lived there on everything at the Home. “We wanted to prove that we were there,” Doyle said. “That was the biggest thing. We didn’t have anything else outside the gate.”

Gary Marsh, President & CEO

A Campus That Inspires It was an honor to recently host the Perfectly Aged 2017 Masonic Communities & Services Association (MCSA) conference, particularly with it being the 150th anniversary of Masonic Homes of Kentucky. It was incredible to experience like-minded professionals from across the country sharing ideas and drawing fresh inspiration on how to improve and grow their organizations, all while enjoying the beauty of our 82-acre campus and the racetracks, horse farms and distilleries of Kentucky.

Today, this beautiful campus and its services and housing continues to touch lives daily. Our talented rehabilitation staff has improved the lives of people like Mary Lou Northern (p. 7), who is grateful to have regained her ability to care for herself and even walk with a walker after a West Nile virus diagnosis. Residents like Connie Hatfield (p. 11) are also grateful to have found a place here on campus. After the passing of her husband, Connie moved to an apartment at our Miralea Active Lifestyle Community and has gained a newfound sense of community, as well as peace of mind thanks to LifeCare. Inspiration, truly, is everywhere. At Masonic Homes of Kentucky, you don’t have to look far to find it.

Returning Home Laughter and childhood anecdotes were exchanged at the recent “Old Home Kids” alumni reunion weekend June 24-25 at Masonic Homes’ Louisville Campus that once housed hundreds of widows and orphans of Masons, beginning in 1927. At the reunion, Masonic Homes alumni caught up with old friends during Masonic Homes’ 150th anniversary year – friends who once ate, slept, played and learned together on campus back when it was a Home. Many graduated from high school at Masonic Homes, and went on to college, or jobs in printing, farming or other fields. “It always feels like home,” said Marvie “Cricket” Bloodworth Wicks, who lived at the Home from 1940-1955 and today lives in Morganfield, Kentucky. “Even with all the changes.” Visit mhkyl50.com for more upcoming events.

Overcoming West Nile Virus With Rehab It started with something so small. Mary Lou Northern of Louisville was an active outdoorswoman who cycled, hiked and backpacked the Appalachian trail. For years, she had worked as a senior advisor for major arts and parks projects in the city. But in 2015, her lifestyle changed dramatically when a small insect – a mosquito – changed her life in a huge way and left her unable to walk. “It was really devastating,” she said. “There was a period when I didn’t think I’d make it, but I wasn’t ready to go.” After returning from a trip to Montana, Mary Lou, 68 at the time, began having trouble walking, experienced strange sensations in the spine and noticed her mind was foggy. She was rushed to the hospital, where doctors in Hazmat suits examined her. She and her family waited for two weeks for a diagnosis. The diagnosis that finally came was shocking – West Nile virus. To Mary Lou’s surprise, health experts believed the mosquito bite had occurred in Louisville. She knew that there had been talk of the infection being spread by mosquitos in Louisville that year, an infection that in less than one percent of cases results in serious neurological disease. Those over age 60 are at the greatest risk for severe disease.

Choosing Masonic Homes For Mary Lou, it was the staff at Masonic Home of Louisville’s Sam Swope Care Center that helped her overcome the challenges the disease brought with it. “It makes me emotional, but the staff at Masonic – the rehab staff – is just phenomenal,” said Mary Lou. “They have worked with me on getting me healthy again.”

Soon after her diagnosis, Mary Lou was sent to a local inpatient rehabilitation facility for a month. She could barely speak, couldn’t move her legs and needed help with everything except eating. She had also lost most of her voice, and couldn’t move her hands up past her neck. Mary Lou needed long-term care, so her three adult children started researching other options for her. That’s when they discovered Masonic Homes. “They know my love of parks, and my kids knew how important it was for me to be in an environment with trees, where the natural environment was as important as the accommodations. They liked the feeling of Masonic Homes – that it would be really supportive. They had a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom in the rehab center to practice daily living skills, and they hadn’t seen that in other places.” She quickly found that the Masonic Homes rehab program was able to help a wide variety of patients, including herself. “We provide short-term rehabilitation, long-term and outpatient,” said Natalie Tinsley, Senior Vice President of Therapy Services at Masonic Homes. “We can take care of individuals with simple sports injuries, individuals with orthopedic needs and those with

neurological disorders. We can treat anyone with a minor injury such as a sprain, to a more severe disorder such as a stroke.” Mary Lou began rehab at Masonic Homes in December 2016, and after just a few months, she completed her first goal of being able to take care of herself again, and was able to return home.

run in the yard again with her grandchildren. While she still has a long road ahead of her, she’s thankful for the support the Masonic Homes rehab team offered her, which she says has helped improve her life. “They’ve been there helping me every step of the way. It’s really been phenomenal.”

When she initially started rehab, she was in diapers, she noted. “It was horrible.” Now, Mary Lou is able to cook, walk once a week with her sisters and husband, pull weeds and make the bed. She continues to undergo rehab several days a week through the Masonic Homes outpatient program. Her goal is to walk again, and she’s been using the program’s state-of-the-art technology to get closer to that goal.

Cutting-Edge Rehab Technology Technology like Jintronix, featuring therapeutic interactive games and functional assessments, has played a part in Mary Lou’s progress. The program, which uses a motion-sensing camera mounted to a TV to monitor participants’ movements, offers fun exercises that accelerate recovery. Mary Lou attributes her success to the Masonic Homes rehab team, and says she appreciates how they listen to her feedback and goals and incorporate it into her therapy. Thanks to her hard work, Mary Lou has graduated from a wheelchair to a walker. She uses a rolling walker now for trails so she can continue to visit parks. “This year, we also got rid of the ramps at my house,” she noted. “That was cause for celebration.” The gains Mary Lou has made are “tremendous,” said Natalie. “She’s been a true success story and those are the things that are most rewarding in our job.” Mary Lou’s latest goals include being able to fully walk without a cane, walk up and down stairs and

Masonic Homes Hosts National Conference Masonic Homes of Kentucky hosted the Perfectly Aged 2017 Masonic Communities & Services Association (MCSA) conference June 3-7 during its 150th anniversary year. Masonic Homes set the foundation for all other MCSA organizations by being the first of its kind when it was founded in 1867 as a Home for widows and orphans of the Civil War. MCSA is a national group that houses 33 Masonic organizations dedicated to improving the lives of those they serve.

Perfectly Aged conference topics for the group of professionals from across the nation examined missiondriven growth, strategic planning, financial assistance programs, community outreach and more. Conference activities aimed at showcasing Kentucky included a delicious Kentucky-themed outdoor dinner, bourbon tastings from some of the state’s finest distilleries and outings to Churchill Downs racetrack, Angel’s Envy distillery and Fasig-Tipton thoroughbred auction house in Lexington, Ky.

Connie Hatfield moved to Miralea Active Lifestyle Community earlier this year from her Springhurst condominium after her husband passed away.

Making The Move When Connie Hatfield, 82, moved into her new apartment at Miralea Active Lifestyle Community at the Masonic Homes’ Louisville Campus earlier this year, she soon felt like she was on vacation. “It’s a lot like a cruise ship,” she said of Miralea, laughing. “There’s lots of interesting things to do, there’s people to meet and talk to, the food is delicious and you don’t have to cook it. You just can’t look out over the ocean, that’s the only difference.”

Care, which provides estate protection and helps offset the cost of potential future medical costs. “We got the tour and loved everything we saw.” Once her decision had been made, Connie put her condo on the market, which sold in only one week. She had to quickly sort through years of possessions as she went from the large condo she and her husband had lived in for

Connie’s husband of 60 years, Joe Hatfield, passed away last year, and his death led her to consider her own future and how her aging might impact her adult children. Her daughter, 56, had already moved to Louisville from her home in Florida a year ago to help Connie care for Joe at the couple’s Springhurst condo. Connie didn’t want her daughter to put her life on hold again and have to care for her as she aged too, so she made an appointment to talk with someone at Masonic Homes. It was an appointment she and her husband had made before but had to cancel several times due to medical appointments. “The more we thought about it, the more we thought, ‘This is probably a good thing’,” Connie said of making the decision to move to Miralea and enroll in Life

14 years, to the two-bedroom Miralea apartment. She knew she would miss her neighbors, whom she had become close with, but also looked forward to being near other friends from her Sunday school class who already lived at Masonic Homes. “I don’t feel that I’ve given up anything,” she said. “In fact, I like the cozier atmosphere here.” One of her main motivators for moving was the peace of mind that came with moving to an active lifestyle community with Life Care. “Number one was security,” Connie said. “Knowing I would have help in the future, if in the future I have one of the old age diseases. The things that people really are fearful of. You get to the point where you realize you may not always be as alert as you would like to be and it’s nice to know there are people who would help you if you get in trouble.” Connie’s daughter has moved back to Florida now that she knows her mother is safe and has help if she needs it. She comes in town to visit and stay with her mom regularly, and Connie considers her second bedroom in her apartment her daughter’s room. Connie also regularly visits her son, who lives nearby. She has also enjoyed the camaraderie that comes with living on campus and being around smiling faces and plenty of activities. “Everything at Miralea kind of filled in the blanks for me,” she said. “It was lonely without my husband after 60 years together. I really have enjoyed being here. It’s a very friendly place.” If you are interested in touring one of our active lifestyle communities, call Masonic Homes at 502.897.8727.

Downsizing - Where to Begin? Many older adults feel like the prospect of moving to an independent living or assisted living facility is daunting, knowing they will have to pare down decades worth of possessions and memories. “Many people are just so overwhelmed,” said Lynn Madeiros, of Staging Your Next Move, a relocation and professional organizing firm that regularly helps people downsize and move. “They don’t even know where to begin.” Lynn offered several tips on how to get your downsizing efforts off the ground and tackle the task gracefully.

Lynn Madeiros

1) Obtain a floorplan - Most communities can offer you a floorplan of your new space, so you can get a good sense of what furniture may or may not fit in the new space and know what you need to keep or eliminate. Also, familiarize yourself with how much storage space will be in your new home. Take note of drawers, cabinets and closets so you can have a better sense of what will actually fit. 2) Consider your new lifestyle - “Think about how you’re going to be spending time in the new space,” said Lynn. “It’s a different environment and maybe you’re going to have more time for doing puzzles or a craft they haven’t been able to do... so set up the new place with that in mind.” Your new environment may include having meals cooked for you, so you won’t need to take as many pots and pans. 3)

Digitize your photos - Photographs take up a lot of space in albums and boxes, but it’s bulk you can eliminate, thanks to technology. “Truly a good way to handle it now is to digitize them or make a memory book of them,” said Lynn. “You can either send them off to an online site or take them to a local place.” Once digitized, they can be viewed on your computer, iPad or phone if they’re stored on an offsite server accessible online. You might also choose to turn your favorite digital photos into photo books that function as coffee table books, via websites like Blurb, Snapfish, Shutterfly and others.

4) Learn to let go - Thinking you will use something again “someday” is no longer a good answer when you’re downsizing. Sentimental items in particular are difficult for many people to let go. However, taking a photo of the item is a good way to still have it in one form, yet frees yourself up in terms of space. “I think you just have to remember those memories are in your heart and stay there forever,” Lynn said. “The item is just an item.” 5)

Sell or donate items - While family members may want some of your furniture or decor, it’s rare that they want many things, Lynn said. Styles change over the years, and what suited you often does not suit your children or grandchildren. However, depending on how much you have and its value, an estate sale or auction may be a good option to clear out remaining items. Or, there are plenty of worthy charities in the community that will gladly take old furniture, clothing and more.

A Legacy of Learning When Masonic Homes of Kentucky was established 150 years ago, it served as a haven for widows and orphans of Masons, who received housing, education, meals and healthcare. Later, the Home took in those affected by the flu epidemic, coal mining disasters and other hardships. The Home even had its own school and educated youth from kindergarten through high school. Not only did the children earn a traditional education that prepared them for college, but they also learned trades such as farming. The Home once raised much of its own food, from beef cattle to potatoes and vegetables. Many kids were also trained in the printing trade, thanks to a booming print shop on campus that published the Masonic Home Journal and other area publications. “It’s incredible to look back on the start of Masonic Homes 150 years ago, and to look at where we are today,” said Gary Marsh, President and CEO of Masonic Homes. “What started as a refuge for widows and orphans has evolved to focus on caring for older adults and is now on the leading edge of senior care services. We’ve stood the test of time by changing with the times.” Today, Masonic Homes offers daily living and specialized care to people of all ages, and education is still valued at Masonic Homes for both young and old. Today, a variety of education services is offered to those ages six weeks and beyond.

Sproutlings Pediatric Day Care & Preschool is one of the ways Masonic Homes is keeping its history of education alive, as well as keeping the tradition alive of having children on campus. Sproutlings has spaces for both medically fragile and typical children.

Sproutlings Pediatric Day Care & Preschool is one of the ways Masonic Homes is keeping its history of education alive, as well as keeping the tradition alive of having children on campus. Sproutlings is a daycare and preschool for children ages six weeks old to five years old. The daycare is unique in that it is licensed as a prescribed pediatric extended care (PPEC) center, and accepts both medically fragile and typical children. “We have kids here who have medical needs that cannot go to a traditional daycare and preschool,” said Julie Mulligan, director of education and operations for Sproutlings. “We have CNAs and RNs who provide care for the kids that require it in a fully integrated environment.” The legacy of education at Masonic Homes continues at Sproutlings in many ways. “Back when Masonic Homes functioned as a school, it took in kids who were orphaned. I think a mixture of children with different backgrounds integrating with one another and seeing each other as equals speaks volumes on Masonic Homes’ history,” said Julie. “Intergenerational activities are also prominent by having residents mingle with the kids in arts and crafts or different events such as the Derby Parade.”

e m p l oy e e s 7/17/17 11:53 AM

Julie’s own children attend Sproutlings, and she praises the program’s ability to teach acceptance and tolerance at a young age. “I strive to develop the whole child. They learn different subjects such as arts and sciences, but then children are learning big things like tolerance and acceptance,” said Julie. “It’s great because my children aren’t viewing children who need medical attention any differently and that it’s okay that everyone is different in their own way.” While Sproutlings focuses on education for children, Masonic Homes also values continuing education for its employees. Kendell Stratton, educational director, leads orientation for new employees at Masonic Home of Shelbyville and educates them on the foundation, mission and core values of the organization.

“Education is the foundation of everything that we do here in a sense,” said Kendell. “We have to continue to educate ourselves and our peers with the most up-to-date information to give residents in our community the best quality of care.” Masonic Homes also offers a recently-launched education support program, which supports fulltime employees wishing to attain a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Registered Nurse (RN) or Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree by covering employee fees for tuition, books, necessary supplies and labs. The program helps improve individuals’ career paths while maintaining high-quality care at Masonic Homes. Though Masonic Homes has changed a lot in 150 years, education has remained a focal point that has stood the test of time.

Masonic Homes of Kentucky once was a home for widows and children of Masons, and educated hundreds of children in its own school on campus. This photo from 1928 features the math class of Miss Annie Mae Martin.

Kosair Charities Helped Bring Children Back to Campus For 150 years, Masonic Homes has been a trusted community caregiver. In 1867 in downtown Louisville, a group of Masons established the first Masonic Home to care for widows and orphans of Masons lost to the Civil War. However, after the implementation of government programs like social security, coupled with the rise of foster homes in place of orphanages, the number of orphans on campus dwindled, until the last orphan left the Home in 1989.

Sproutlings’ unique approach begins with a designation as a referral-based Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) center for medically fragile children, and continues with the integration of traditional day care services for children without special needs, one of the few such centers with this design in the region.

Not long after, Masonic Homes of Kentucky reinvented itself as an expert in senior living services and long-term care. However, thanks to a relationship between Masonic Homes Board Chair Martin Walters and Kosair Charities, the sound of children laughing returned to the historic campus. In 2011, Sproutlings Pediatric Day Care & Preschool became the latest addition on campus. The generous funding of Kosair Charities brought the concept of the Kosair Charities Center to life, and today that support continues. Located in Kosair Charities Center on Masonic Homes’ beautiful 82-acre Louisville campus, Sproutlings offers care for kids in a specially designed 13,000-square- The Silent Messenger statue, located in front of Sproutlings, stands as a lasting representation of foot space. the commitment of Kosair Charities to Sproutlings and children in our community.
