Located on a more than 1400-acre campus, Masonic Village at Elizabethtown is constantly pushing for innovation and creativity within the world of Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). The Commandery Cottage development, located on the western edge of campus, features the most advanced “age in place” design elements, allowing residents to live comfortably within their homes for an extended time before they move through Masonic Village’s continuum of care.
Initially designed as four unique model units, the Masonic Village Commandery Cottages were customized by future residents with the help of Warfel’s proprietary Virtual Design Modeler (VDM) software. Much like viewing the customization features in a new car, our VDM allows users to see combinations of cabinetry, paint colors and tile, giving them confidence in the end result and avoiding potentially costly rework and/or change orders. This advanced approach to senior living spaces allowed residents to feel more comfortable with their decision to move to a retirement community, increased client satisfaction, and improved communication among all of the team members on the project.
