At Western Reserve Masonic Community, we pride ourselves on being the trusted partner to help people age respectfully and our employees are the key to this success. A fun, supportive, team-based work environment, with nursing ratios as low as 1:10 , we want our employees to love what they do so our community members are happy and receiving the best care. We want you to be equipped with all the tools you need to provide the best care possible, so we use innovative technology, and it’s why we won the 2022 Leading Age Ohio Innovation Award. If a community or staff member has an idea for something to make life better or work easier? We find a way to make it happen.

We want to take care of you as much as you take care of our community members. That’s why we offer competitive benefits including paying up to $5,000 a year for tuition so you can further your education and your career. We also understand that everybody goes through tough times, so our HOPE program provides financial assistance to employees in need.

Don’t let our name confuse you; you don’t need to be Masonic to live or work here. Our history is rooted in the Masonic values of service and charity, but that doesn’t mean we’re all Masons. In fact, many of our residents and employees aren’t!
