The Nebraska Masonic Home
The Nebraska Masonic Home sits at 1300 Avenue D in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. It’s a 52-bed assisted living community, and April Johnston runs it as administrator. One thing shapes almost everything about the place: it was built for Masons and their families. Admission follows that: men need to be Masons, while women need to be Eastern Star members or related to a Mason in good standing.
All 52 beds are full; a community at full occupancy usually has a stable, settled resident base, which is worth knowing. It also means a family can’t count on an open spot and should ask about the waitlist early.
Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants provide the day-to-day care. The home offers assisted living apartments and center-based support, plus long-term care. So a resident whose needs deepen doesn’t have to pack up and start over somewhere new; they can choose to stay put.
Getting around on foot is doable here. The Walk Score is 64, moderately walkable, with enough nearby to handle a few errands. For relatives coming to visit, that’s a small convenience that adds up.
State inspections have focused on the routine: fire-safety systems, plus care planning and paperwork. For a family looking near Plattsmouth, this is a small home that knows exactly who it serves, with licensed nursing on-site and a full house behind it.
