Masonic Village at Burlington

902 Jacksonville Rd, Burlington, NJ 08016
Overview of Masonic Village at Burlington

Masonic Village at Burlington is a 264-bed nursing home on Jacksonville Road in Burlington, New Jersey. It’s a large facility by any measure, and it sits in a moderately walkable pocket of the city (Walk Score 68), where residents’ families can knock out some errands on foot without needing a car for everything.

The staffing numbers here are notable: 5 hours and 32 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day, with registered nurses contributing about an hour of that and LPNs adding another 1 hour 19 minutes. Rehabilitation services and respite care are both available on-site, alongside a doctor on staff and around-the-clock staffing. Short-term and long-term stays are both options, as is home care.

Right now, the building is running at 43% occupancy, with 113 of its 264 beds filled. That’s a lot of unused capacity for a facility this size. State inspections here have tended to focus on infection prevention, emergency preparedness, staffing credentials, dietary service, resident rights, and fall prevention.

Coverage-wise, Masonic Village accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, which opens the door for families regardless of how they’re planning to pay. Between the rehab and respite offerings and the staffing hours reported, this is a facility built to handle both short-term recovery after a hospital stay and longer-term nursing care, in a building with considerable room to grow into.
