Who we are

Our story began in 1906, founded on a deep commitment to benevolent relief.

For over a century, Masonic Care WA has supported older Western Australians. Founded in 1906 to assist orphans and widows, we opened our first aged accommodation in Mount Lawley in 1963. Today, as a not-for-profit organisation, we continue this tradition, offering a range of living and care options across WA.

Our communities are safe, welcoming, and foster a strong sense of belonging. Residents enjoy vibrant lifestyle programs, low-maintenance living, and flexibility as needs evolve.

Compassionate, professional care ensures each person feels valued and supported. With locations across WA, we offer the freedom to choose a community that suits your lifestyle, and provide peace of mind for residents and their families.

Our history

1906
The genesis of the operations of Grand Lodge Freemasons Homes for the Aged was seeded in the formation of the Widows’, Orphans’ and Aged Freemasons’ Benevolent Fund. The Fund targeted families of returned soldiers, the poor and homeless.
1962
Freemasons established Cottage Homes for the Aged which was the first development of aged accommodation for disadvantaged older persons in Western Australia.
1979
Howard Solomon Hostel and Nursing Home (now Howard Solomon Residential Care) was established and officially opened by WA Premier, Sir Charles Court; another first for the Organisation to deliver residential care services.
1993
Cottage Homes for the Aged registered itself as an incorporated association under the name Grand Lodge of Freemason Homes for the Aged Inc. The inaugural Constitution reflected the objects of the Widows’, Orphans’ and Aged Freemasons Fund from 1906.
1993-2022
Expanded operations to 12 retirement villages, 10 rental villages for older persons and Howard Solomon Residential Care, servicing almost 2000 residents.
