THE MASONIC HOME IN UNION CITY

Beautifully situated on a scenic hilltop, the Masonic Home for Adults at Union City combines elegant grace with the latest advances in geriatric healthcare.  The California Department of Social Services licenses the Masonic Home for Adults - an integral part of the Masonic Homes of California -  a non-profit California Corporation - as a Continuing Care Retirement Community.  Organized by the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of California, their mission is to provide quality living to the Adult Masonic Community by offering three levels of care:  Independednt Living, Asisted Living and Skilled Nursing.

The Masonic Home for Adults celebrated its Centennial Year of Operation with a yearlong theme entitled "Building a Future Upon a Century of Caring."  The re-dedication was held on October 10, 1998 with a Masonic ceremony.

There are historical artifacts and items of interest through the facility - stained glass windows, residents' library, large-print books by contemporary and time-honored authors and  a low vision computer system for the residents' use.  Pictures of the 14 former U. S. Presidents, who were masons, are on display.  An Antique Room contains artifacts from the past and a Blue Mall, conisisting of residents' coffee shop, clothing store and a gift shop, is open to the public.  The gift shop is run by residents and stocked with items made by them.

The Masonic Home in Union City is a very important historical landmark of Union City.
