Indiana Masonic Home

I visited this facility

I have visited this facility on several occasions. I was fortunate enough to dine in the cafeteria on my last visit. I thought the service was good, but the food was not up to par. The chicken was not fully cooked and had a rubbery taste to it and the vegetables were cold. I did notice the cafeteria was clean. The office part of the building seemed better decorated and cleaner than the patient living areas. While I was in the patient area I noticed that the rooms were very small and not much larger than a walk-in-closet. I would personally hate to live in such tiny rooms. I also noticed the patient rooms were drab and depressing looking. There was no carpet in the rooms just old had flooring. The walls were all white and the curtains were very cheap and ill-fitting. I saw several patients in the hallways that were only half dressed. I noticed several women who looked like that hadn't had their hair brushed in a very long time and one man was in desperate need of a shave. I saw no medical staff around but I saw several housekeepers. I also got to see the chapel and was impressed with how large and pretty it was. The chapel seemed to have an air about it that made me think it was used very seldom.
