About Masonic Home

+
The Masonic Home in Union City, California, represents a distinguished tradition of fraternal care and nonprofit mission rooted in more than a century of service to seniors. Located on Mission Boulevard — the historic spine of the Tri-City area connecting Union City, Fremont, and Hayward — the Masonic Home offers skilled nursing care in a setting that reflects its values: dignity, community, and genuine compassion for every resident regardless of their background. As a nonprofit corporation, the Masonic Home operates with a mission-driven ethos that sets it apart from investor-owned facilities. Surpluses are reinvested in resident care, facility improvements, and staffing rather than returned to shareholders. This structure allows the home to maintain deep community roots, long-tenured staff who know residents personally, and a culture that prioritizes quality of life alongside clinical excellence. Union City sits at the southern edge of Alameda County, bordered by Fremont to the south and Hayward to the north, within the greater San Francisco Bay Area. The city's location on Mission Boulevard gives residents and families convenient access to a rich network of services and landmarks. Washington Hospital Healthcare System in Fremont — one of the East Bay's leading independent hospitals — is just minutes south on Mission Boulevard, providing emergency care, cardiac services, surgical support, and specialist consultations. Kaiser Permanente Fremont Medical Center is also nearby, offering additional healthcare options. For outings and family visits, Union City and its neighbors offer outstanding green spaces. Coyote Hills Regional Park, an East Bay Regional Park District gem overlooking San Francisco Bay, provides marshland trails and sweeping bay views. Dry Creek Pioneer Regional Park offers shaded canyons and wildflower trails in the East Bay hills. Union Landing, a major retail center on Whipple Road, keeps families well-supplied for every need. Union City's BART station on Decoto Road connects visiting family members arriving from San Francisco, Oakland, or the Peninsula without a car. For seniors and families seeking trusted, values-aligned skilled nursing care in the East Bay, the Masonic Home is a landmark institution.

Is the Masonic Home only for members of the Masonic fraternity? +

As a nonprofit corporation, the Masonic Home reinvests any financial surpluses into resident care, staffing, and facility improvements rather than distributing profits. Nonprofit care facilities often demonstrate strong community accountability, mission-driven staffing culture, and a long-term orientation toward quality over short-term cost-cutting — all of which benefit residents and their families.

How does the Masonic Home handle transitions from hospital to skilled nursing? +
