LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT THE MOOSE

MOOSEHEART CHILD CITY & SCHOOL is a community and school for children and teens in need, located on a 1,000-acre campus, 38 miles west of Chicago. Over its 97-year history, Mooseheart has been home to nearly 12,000 young people, ranging in age from infancy through high school.
Founded in 1913 by the Moose fraternal organization, Mooseheart is supported completely through private donations -- the great majority of which continue to come from the 1.1 million men and women of the Moose fraternal organization, in more than 1,700 Lodges and 1,600 Chapters located throughout the U.S. , Canada , Great Britain and Bermuda. Moose International headquarters is located on the Mooseheart campus.
Mooseheart provides complete home care, education and training for youth whose families are unable, for a wide variety of reasons, to care for them. Some have lost one or both parents; others are living in environments that are simply not conducive to healthy growth and development.
Children and teens live in one of approximately 30 residences, each designed like a spacious single-family residence. Each is home for six to twelve children. The heart of the program is our trained Family Teachers -- in-home caregivers who provide a consistent, systematic method of care, with emphasis on social-skills development; skills essential for success in later life.
It is Mooseheart's policy to admit qualified children who have a need. The Admissions Committee considers all applications of children in need.
We invite you to look over our website and if we can be of assistance to you or someone you know, please contact the Admissions Office.

MOOSEHAVEN, known as the "City of Contentment," is located in Orange Park, FL, only 15 miles south of downtown Jacksonville. Beautifully situated on a wide expanse of the St. Johns River, the 72-acre campus has been home to retired members of the Loyal Order of Moose and Women of the Moose since 1922.
Nearly 90 years ago, Moosehaven established its first residence hall in an historic riverfront hotel. Throughout societal and economic changes in the decades following, Moosehaven has provided thousands of Moose members and their spouses with secure and active retirement living. Moosehaven residents reside in their beautiful community without the burdens of home maintenance and responsibilities or the worries of future health care.
As a Continuing Care Retirement Community, Moosehaven's LifeCare Center provides all levels of health care on campus if and when needed. In the meantime, residents enjoy an active and social lifestyle with actvities, campus events and Heart of the Community events, welcoming the greater Orange Park and Clay County community on the Moosehaven campus.
Campus amenities ensure that residents enjoy a wide variety of available facilities -- including an indoor swimming pool, bowling center, exercise, and game rooms, theater, and library. They also enjoy arts and crafts, painting, ceramics, sewing, woodworking, and computers.
Fishing from the 450-foot concrete pier is an enjoyable pastime -- often creating exciting competition! Dances, special dinners, shopping, and sightseeing trips are regularly scheduled events. Each Sunday, both Protestant and Catholic services are held in the beautiful interdenominational Chapel
Residential homes under the Traditional Retirement Program provide private rooms with baths, living, dining, and laundry rooms that have been a popular Moosehaven living arrangement for both singles and couples since the 1960s.
Brandon Place at Moosehaven offers full independent living as a Fee-for-Service program. Residents live in well-appointed homes and continue to manage their own finances and investments. In the meantime, Brandon Place residents enjoy all of the services and amenities of the Moosehaven campus, including the Clubhouse at Brandon Place
Moosehaven, supported by the Loyal Order of Moose and the Women of the Moose, continues to demonstrate an abiding concern for the well-being of Moose members and their spouses in their active senior years. And, with the addition of new and exciting retirement options now available on campus, Moosehaven again evidences its commitment to provide a quality lifestyle with continued care.
