Established by the Grand Chapter of Illinois in 1895, the Eastern Star Home at Macon has provided comfort, refuge, and outstanding care for the sisters of our Order for more than a century. Yet, there is nothing "old fashioned" about the Home. A multi-year restoration project, completed in 2003, has resulted in a state-of-the-art facility capable of providing the most advanced nursing care for the ladies in residence. In this web site, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the Home, read about the many activities provided for the residents, and take an electronic "tour" of the facilities. You can even send e-mail to any of the ladies at the Home. We hope you will enjoy this site, and return to visit often!

A Message from the Worthy Grand Matron

More than a century ago, the members
of the Order of the Eastern Star of Illinois took on a sacred trust: the care of those sisters who had nowhere else to live out
their senior years.

Today, far from being a place of "last
resort", the Eastern Star Home is a residence of choice for many sisters in their golden years. Residents may be admitted not only for "life care", but also
on a "fee for service" basis. When planning your future,
please consider the advantages of the wonderful facilities at
the Eastern Star Home at Macon!

Visitors to the Eastern Star Home will find a richly landscaped campus, complete with flowers, trees, beautiful walkways, ane even a gazebo to enjoy on summer days.

Inside the front door of the Home, you'll find the receptionist's desk and the administrative offices -- the essential "nerve center" for all activities at the Eastern Star Home.

The first-floor dining room provides a home-like setting where the ladies are served tasty and well-balanced meals. The dining room is also used for special events, and when Eastern Star Chapters from around the state visit for "Dining In Style" events wtih our residents.

Comfortable and beautifully furnished parlors and lounges provide the perfect setting for our residents to greet visitors, chat with their friends, and enjoy the beautiful views from the windows of the Home.

The beautiful and inspirational chapel on the ground floor of the home is regularly used for worship services for the sisters and their guests.

Resident's rooms provide the opportunity for privacy and personalization -- along with the loving care that has become the hallmark of the Eastern Star Home. Most residents decorate their rooms with photos, knick-knacks, and other special touches which preserve fond memories of friends and family.
