In 2000, RFBI opened its Leeton Masonic Retirement Village with six retirement villas and expanded the village a few years later to 10 retirement villas.
Recognising the need for additional care and support for older people living in the community, RFBI shortly afterwards began work on establishing a residential care service on the neighbouring land.
The Leeton Masonic Village was then constructed and was officially opened by the then Governor of NSW Marie Bashir.
RFBI chief executive officer Frank Price said the celebration was fun one.
"This is an important milestone for the team and (this) was an opportunity for them to reflect on the wonderful care they provide and the great community they have within the village," he said.
