Cornerstone Living

Cornerstone Living sits in New Tripoli, PA and offers care mostly for older adults with dementia, Alzheimer's, or other memory issues, and this place has a friendly family-owned feel since it's run by folks who keep things pretty simple and direct, so you won't find a lot of extra management layers or complicated systems that usually slow things down or make care cost more. The place allows adults 55 and older and lets in some pets, and the building itself holds up to 40 people at a time, which helps keep things a bit more personal, and you can see that in the way the staff-who've got decades of experience, over 40 years together in caregiving and high-level management-help folks with all the daily things like bathing, dressing, moving around, and keeping up with medicine, diabetes care, incontinence, and even psychiatric needs for folks who need it. Folks there get help with meals-meals match different diets including vegetarian and diabetic ones and are served restaurant-style in the dining room with options for guest meals if family pops in-and there's meal prep too, plus small indoor and outdoor spaces for relaxing, a garden, patios, a TV room, a kitchenette, beauty shop and barber, a small library, high-speed internet, and cable in rooms. The building's got safety features for peace of mind like a security gate, 24-hour supervision, and a call system, which matter a lot when people are dealing with memory loss and need extra security, and that's backed up by a social model program built in partnership with a university to shape activities and daily life around current ideas in dementia care. Residents and their families don't have to worry as much since the staff take over a lot of daily jobs and give them reports and peace of mind, and there's also things like mental wellness programs, physical therapy, skilled nursing, hospice, and medication administration right here, which a lot of people need at this stage. On top of that, there are plenty of chances to keep busy with both on-site and off-site activities like crafts, devotional services, musical groups, educational programs, game nights, and story time, plus they do have space for parties, places for overnight guests, and even VA benefits help and financial advice if the family asks for it. Everything's licensed by the state, and the staff goes out of their way to treat folks and visitors kindly, aiming for a close-knit feel that keeps people involved and safe without making the place feel too big or impersonal, so residents get a mix of help and independence that works for many families, and the overall review rating is 4.6 out of 13 reviews, showing most people have had positive experiences.
