Elancé at Alexandria in Alexandria, VA, provides independent living, assisted living, and memory care. The neighborhood is considered very walkable with a Walk Score of 71, and you won’t need a car for most of your errands if you have a driver’s license.

Assisted living dispatches staff to assist with bathing, dressing, and medication, and the resident’s home is kept personal. In independent living, a resident has privacy and community services, but no daily care. Memory care places anyone who could wander in a supervised, secure environment.

That means a resident can move among the three as their needs increase. Residences range from studios to one- and two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and three-bedroom penthouse layouts. The studio has one private area, while all larger floor plans contain additional rooms. You can bring your pet along too.

Overview of Mahova Your Masonic Community

Mahova Your Masonic Community sits on a 90-acre gated campus in Richmond, Virginia, and traces back to 1890. It is home to 220 residents today. Membership is open to qualified Masons age 65 and up, their spouses, or widows over 62, and Virginia Masons sometimes need local lodge affiliation to join.

This is independent living, plain and simple; residents here live on their own, without help from staff for daily activities. The gated setting adds a layer of safety, and the campus itself gives Masons and their families a shared space built around connection.

Community life has real texture to it: live music performances bring people together, and an on-site workshop gives residents a place for woodworking and art projects. A community garden offers something to tend and grow, and movie nights turn into a regular social gathering on the calendar.

Getting around by foot only goes so far here. Walk Score lands at 33, somewhat walkable, so most errands and outings mean getting in a car. Hospitals, pharmacies, dining, shopping, and parks are all a drive away rather than a walk.

MAHOVA is a fit for Masons and their spouses or widows who want independence inside a historic, gated community. Ninety acres, a workshop, a garden, and a steady social calendar give residents room to build a life centered on fellowship and shared history.
