Mission Statement

For more than 100 years, the Masons of California have provided assistance and care to support members of our fraternal family through life's transitions. Today, Masonic assistance meets California member needs with residential communities for seniors and outreach programs that provide critical services to Masons and their families throughout the state.

About This Cause

Masonic Senior Outreach (MSO) offers assistance with the services and resources needed to stay healthy and safe at home or in a retirement facility in the home community. This assistance includes: •Information and referrals to community-based senior services and resources throughout California, such as housekeepers, transportation resources, senior legal services, and senior programs. •Ongoing care management at no cost for those who face isolation, loss of a spouse, or declining health. An MSO care manager maintains a regular schedule of visits and telephone contact to continually assess the client’s financial situation and health or mental condition. •Financial assistance and care plan for those who need financial support. The amount of support is determined by need and will change as needs change. In establishing the budget, MSO considers public benefits and support that is available from family and the lodge. There is no minimum or maximum amount of financial support or length of time it is provided. Support is available as long as the client’s situation requires it and eligibility is maintained. The client signs an Agreement to Repay, which states that when the assistance ends, all or a portion of the amount expended will be repaid if the client has the financial means to do so. When care needs can no longer be safely met in the home, MSO will assist in locating a facility in the community and will supplement the cost of care. Those who require 24-hour skilled care are assisted in applying for MediCal to cover the cost of this level of care. Interim financial and care support is provided to those who are on the waiting list for the Masonic Homes of California.
