Cornerstone Health Services sits in a Riverdale, Georgia neighborhood with medical offices close by like Southern Regional Health System, Southside Internal Medicine PC, and CVS Pharmacy, so getting to a doctor or picking up medicine doesn't take long. This is a smaller community with just three licensed beds, so residents get more personal care, and the staff knows each person's needs. Caregivers speak English, and the community focuses on helping people who have trouble getting around, like folks who need help walking or use a wheelchair. They help with things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and moving people safely, and they have trained staff on duty at all times, a 24-hour emergency response system, and on-call nurses for peace of mind.
Everyone gets their own furnished studio or one-bedroom suite, and all rooms have private ADA compliant bathrooms and emergency alert systems. Some homes have fewer than ten residents and feel more like a regular house instead of a big building, offering a home-like setting for adult care. Meals are made in-house, and residents can ask for special diets, like food for diabetes or allergies, and there's a choice for pureed foods if needed. Folks can eat in the dining room at scheduled times or have snacks throughout the day, and there's also all-day dining options.
Cornerstone offers a good selection of activities to keep people busy and help them feel part of the community. The staff plans daily group events and community-sponsored activities, and there are computer classes, games like cards and bingo, outings, and group meals to encourage friendships. Residents can enjoy walking and jogging paths, landscaped gardens, a theater room, a library, exercise equipment, a games room, large balconies, a reading room, and even a chapel service for spiritual needs. Sometimes massage therapy is available.
For people needing more care, including those with dementia, Alzheimer's, diabetes, Parkinson's, or continence needs, staff create personalized plans. They handle medication management, pressure in-room emergency systems, move-in help, scheduled bathroom reminders, help with transfers, and supervision around the clock. There are also skill-building workshops and regular health screenings.
Cornerstone doesn't accept Medicare unless certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. It's a nonprofit, and it's reviewed and accredited by CARF International, with standards that help keep services consistent and focused on health, safety, and well-being. The facility is committed to resident security, comfort, and a supportive, active atmosphere where folks can age with dignity and families can trust their loved ones are cared for.
