CelebrAting together

Celebrating and having fun are important parts of active living. At The Ohio Masonic Home (OMH), we pride ourselves on doing both! Whether it’s celebrating a resident’s 100th birthday, a milestone wedding anniversary, or the 4th of July, we’re here to celebrate life’s big – and little – wins with you.

We were so excited to be able to host 4th of July festivities at Browning Masonic Community, Springfield Masonic Community, and Western Reserve Masonic Community this year with the support of The Ohio Masonic Home Foundation and their generous donors. Each celebration was open to campus residents, staff members, and any family members who wanted to attend. It was great to be able to come together to enjoy the holiday and see the sense of community between everyone.

Western Reserve Masonic Community hosted more than 400 people for their 4th of July celebration and enjoyed live music, food trucks, balloons, and more leading up to their fireworks show!

Browning Masonic Community brought together nearly 250 residents, employees, and family members as they spent the holiday weekend celebrating with patriotic wreath making, live music, a dunk tank, food trucks, and ultimately ending the night with a fireworks show of their own!

It may have been a rainy night, but that didn’t stop Springfield Masonic Community from throwing a big 4th of July party for more than 200 of their residents, staff, and families. With food trucks, live music, and fireworks, there was something for everyone! The team even put together a special celebration for memory care and skilled nursing care residents who couldn’t make it to the main festivities at the clubhouse.

The Ohio Masonic Home Foundation also provided a free photo both at each campus so families could get a patriotic picture together.

Even with all the entertainment and dazzling fireworks, the real highlights of each evening were the smiles on everyone’s faces as they gathered with loved ones and friends under the glow of fireworks in the night sky.

There’s nothing better than being able to come together with our residents, staff, and families to enjoy each other’s company at a festive event. We’re already counting down to the next celebration we can have together!
