Centennial Hall was completed and a Certificate of Occupancy issued in January. Residents of Vivian Borom, Academy, Florida Bermuda and Chancellors Halls were successfully moved to Centennial Hall during February.

Conversion of the Illinois Building to a tricycle- parking garage began in December with anticipated completion in May. It will provide covered parking and individual charging.

Conversion of the Vivian Borom Hall, which is the final Phase of the Moosehaven Centennial Project, will begin with the completion of tricycle parking. Various activities, such as ceramics, library, tailor shop, arts and crafts, computer lab, along with Opportunity Lodge and Chapter Offices and the Angel Pin factory will be relocated to this remodeled and centrally- located facility when completed. The hall will also feature a snack and beverage bar thereby creating a desirable destination for our residents.

The $10 million cost of the Moosehaven Centennial Project was raised by the men and women of the Moose Fraternity within three years.

Reconstruction of the Moosehaven Pier, which was destroyed by Hurricane Irma, was completed in January. The prompt and generous response of the Fraternity to the damage demonstrates the awesome power of this Fraternity.

Moose Life Demand for Health Care Center Services continued to increase throughout the year from an average daily census of 71.3 in Enhanced Living to 79.2 and from 27.8 to 38.8 in skilled nursing. This trend is primarily attributed to older, frailer applicants to Moosehaven. As a result of increased on-campus demand, Moosehaven accepts direct admissions to Enhanced Living. To address the growing demand for Health Care Center services, we are converting Chancellors Halls to Enhanced Living and have re-opened Schmitz 2 Skilled Nursing.

Categories FY 2018-2019 FY 2019-2020Moosehaven’s operating expenses are budgeted to increase during FY 2019/2020 by almost 7% due to an overall census increase and greater demand for Health Care Center services. While Medicaid reimbursement continues to lag behind the cost to deliver health care services, the growing occupancy of Brandon Place and migration of Brandon Place residents to higher levels of care are projected to produce an increase in operating revenues.

The New Life Admissions Plans Brandon Place marketing continued throughout Fiscal Year 2018 -2019. Occupancies on April 30, 2019 were as follows; duplex homes 86%, Buckeye Hall 100% and St. Johns Apartments 35% for a total occupancy of 74% on May 1, 2019.

Moosehaven’s “Heart of the Community” events are an integral part of advertising Moosehaven and the Moose Fraternity. They raise community awareness about Moosehaven and the Moose. These events truly reflect the Moose commitment to children, families and communities. We acknowledge and gratefully thank the many donations of candy, money and volunteers to these events. Without your support, we could not offer these very special events so enjoyed by the communities surrounding Moosehaven and our residents.

The following “Heart of the Community” events were held at Moosehaven during FY 2018/2019:

The “Heart of the Community” American Pride Fourth of July remains an extremely popular event for the communities surrounding Moosehaven. However, faced with growing costs and a sense that the Chili Cook-Off was an important community and fraternal event, we downsized the 4th of July Celebration. This year, with the support of the Town of Orange Park and local businesses, we offered a shortened event featuring local entertainment and fireworks.

The “Heart of the Community” Halloween Trick or Treat Event brought approximately 4,000 visitors to our campus for a fun and safe trick or treat experience. Once again we distributed over one ton of Halloween candy during the event and our Haunted House was filled to capacity throughout the entire evening. A big shout out to those members, lodges, chapters and associations that help us each year with donations to purchase candy for this event. The “Heart of the Community” Chili Cook-Off is one of the premier events of the year. It attracts professional chili competitors from across the nation and has become an opportunity for intense competition and bragging rights among our lodges, chapters and associations. At the end of the day, last year’s winner, the Connecticut Moose Association’s B&M Chili Garage team, was declared the win-ner by both visitor vote and blind judging to be named the best chili in the fraternal division. The Georgia Moose Association took home the Best Booth Award again. Congratulations to both teams.

The “Heart of the Community” Easter Carnival remains a community favorite. Construction of Centennial Hall coupled with growing attendance made it impossible to provide sufficient space for children to safely engage in age specific egg hunts. Instead we created a carnival atmosphere with games where children could win candy prizes, a Kid’s Zone of bouncy houses, water slides and climbing walls, a petting zoo and horse rides. We opened the day with some trepidation about how the changes would be received, but the enthusiasm of the children and overwhelming positive feedback from parents quickly dispelled our concerns.
