Moosehaven was honored to be voted "Best Senior Care" and "Best Non-Profit Organization" in the 2024 Best of Clay awards hosted annually by the Clay Today newspaper.

Moosehaven has served Clay County for 102 years and is grateful for the continued support of our local community!

Moosehaven held a ceremonial groundbreaking on March 5 to signify the commencement of the AAA Project (Always Active At Moosehaven), a $10M expansion of the Moosehaven campus including a new Sports and Recreation Center and Riverfront Pavilion.

The new 26,000-square foot Recreation Center will feature state-of-the-art amenities including an indoor heated swimming pool, showers, gym/fitness center, multi-purpose room for group dance and exercise classes, bowling alley, electronic darts, billiards, indoor shuffleboard, golf simulator, poker room, game room with retro pinball machines, a centrally located beverage bar, and an outdoor patio with seating area, flower gardens, and a fire pit. The AAA Pavilion will be located on the riverside of the campus and will host a variety of outdoor activities.

Construction is currently in the permitting stages and is expected to begin within the next several months. Visit our AAA Project page to learn more.

While many seniors may have left the stress of careers and child-rearing behind, this chapter of life brings its own unique set of worries.

Concerns about financial security, loss of independence, health issues, losing loved ones, and feelings of loneliness can all contribute to heightened stress levels in older adults.

Read our blog to learn how to identify the signs of stress in seniors and tips for helping loved ones manage worry.

Moosehaven residents had a ‘shamrockin’ good time at our annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration. The event included a traditional corned beef and cabbage lunch and plenty of libations.

Residents came dressed to impress in their best green attire while getting their ‘jig on’ to the wonderful music provided by DJ Alan. Prizes were awarded for best dressed.

‘Irish eyes were smiling’ around Moosehaven as everyone enjoyed the holiday shenanigans! Visit our blog for the full photo gallery.

Members of the Florida Moose Association descended upon the Moosehaven campus on March 24 for our annual ‘Florida Days’ event.

Our Florida Moose family and friends had a chance to tour our beautiful campus, visit with residents, and enjoy a delicious picnic, booths, games, and other activities.

Many thanks to the FMA and the members of the Florida lodges who attended. It was a wonderful day of fellowship!

Moosehaven's 13th Annual Easter Festival was a big success! Residents and staff members welcomed approximately 2,000 guests to campus for a day of fun.

Guests enjoyed free family activities including a petting zoo, pony rides, rock wall, bounce houses, fossil dig, character meet and greet, games, booths, and more! A wonderful time was had by all. Visit our blog for the full photo gallery.

The Easter Festival is part of Moosehaven’s Heart of the Community program which exemplifies the Moose commitment to communities and families by providing safe, family oriented and entertaining events. The Heart of the Community program is offered through the generosity of the men and women of The Moose and the staff at Moosehaven who donate their time and energy to make these events possible.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Easter Sunday for Moosehaven's annual Sunrise Easter Service.

Residents and community members gathered at the riverfront pavilion for wonderful outdoor service of music and uplifting word with a spectacular view of the sunrise on the banks of the St. Johns River.
