Browning Masonic Community, Inc
Browning Masonic Community offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Waterville, Ohio. Independent living provides a private home with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medication. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.
Three care levels may allow a resident whose needs grow to move to another level without leaving the community. The community has 73 beds and accepts Medicaid, giving eligible residents another way to help pay for care. Pets are allowed, so residents can continue living with their pets.
A fitness center and walking paths support exercise and outdoor walking, while on-campus and off-campus events and community attractions provide activities beyond the residence. Rehabilitation services are also available. With a Walk Score of 45 out of 100, the area is car-dependent, so a resident who no longer drives would need a car or a ride for most errands. Number of Years in Long Term Care is identified as the administrator. This home may be a good fit for someone who wants private independent living now, or for a resident who may later need assisted living or secured memory care without moving to another community.
