I cannot say enough great things about Cornerstone Gardens. My Father was there for the last month of his life. The Management and Staff are always friendly and strive to provide the best environment for the residents and their families. Any request we made was attended to promptly. When my Father's time came, the staff made me feel like I was surrounded by friends and family. My wife used to work in this industry and she would be the first to call out an issue. She has nothing but praise for Cornerstone and it's Staff. Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to the Staff at Cornerstone Gardens for their care, compassion, and professionalism.

My mother felt at home at Cornerstone Gardens. She had a brief stay after knee surgery. A year later, her health declined significantly, and she needed to go to a nursing home for long term care. She knew it had to be Cornerstone Gardens. Chesney and Jaimie were instrumental in fulfilling her wishes to help her return to the place she called home. Before moving in, my mother had always feared being mistreated in a nursing home, but that fear quickly disappeared at Cornerstone Gardens. The care, and kindness shown by the staff meant a lot. One of my most cherished memories will be the 2025 Christmas party at Cornerstone Gardens —it was such a special way to spend the last Christmas with my mother and my brother and it meant more than words can express. Thank you Cornerstone Gardens Healthcare & Rehabilitation staff! 🙏🏽

We had a great experience with the care team this facility. They assisted my grandfather with great respect and courtesy when he had to come here for his rehabilitation after he broke his leg. Highly recommend!

I was just discharged from Cornerstone Gardens Rehab. This was my first exposure to Cornerstone and I am singing their praises for the exceptional care I received from all the staff I encountered during my stay. There was such a cheerful attitude and small town feel, plus a generous spirit given to me, as a patient, by everyone involved in my Rehab care. I would highly recommend the family-feel and professional care environment to anyone needing Rehab Care. Sincere thanks to all my caregivers at Cornerstone Gardens. You are the Best! Linda McGee
