Cornerstone Nursing & Rehab Center has served as a steady place for care since 2008, with several locations in Bagley, Kelliher, and Fosston, Minnesota. People know it as one of five unique communities under the Cornerstone Residence name, and it's also called Cornerstone Nursing & Rehab Center in most places. The facility offers assisted living, skilled nursing, physical rehabilitation, extended care, and memory care, doing its best to help adults who need a range of support. People find physical, occupational, and speech therapy right on site through Choice Therapy, which helps folks regain strength and skills, whether they're here for a short stay or long-term support. Nurses provide 24-hour skilled care, taking a person-centered approach, especially with memory care residents. There's a memory care program in a secure area with just 8 private rooms, so people who have memory loss get attention in a safe, personal setting, and there's a rehab wing with 9 private rooms, private bathrooms, a private spa, and a large therapy room, which you don't see everywhere.
Cornerstone offers meals planned by a dietary team who think about each person's needs, and the activities team keeps the days busy with creative projects and social conversations, while outdoor spaces and social programs let residents spend time together and enjoy the fresh air. Staff works around the clock, handling laundry and housekeeping to keep linens and rooms clean, and there's a maintenance team making sure everything works like it should. Residents can count on help from an administrative and admissions team that guides families through decisions and provides reassurance. Cornerstone provides a setting that feels home-like, trying to support mobility and independence with programs and features meant to fit individual needs. Medicare gave this facility a 5-star rating based on staff, care, and inspections, and while it's not BBB accredited, it holds an A+ BBB rating with a file open since 2010, which says something about the way it runs. Cornerstone's owners are Allan Potvin, Judy Potvin, and Carrie Swanson, who manages as well. They all aim to provide a dependable, caring environment where residents can trust the quality of care.
The communities under the Cornerstone name include Cornerstone Residence Senior Care, Cornerstone Residence of Bagley, Cornerstone Residence of Kelliher, and Cornerstone Residence of Fosston, and each has its own space and focus, but they all share a goal: to offer a healthy, rich, and enjoyable daily lifestyle for every resident. Amenities include separate dining and activity rooms, outdoor areas, and features that help residents stay as independent as possible, including for those in rehabilitation. This facility accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, and is specifically designed to support people's needs as they age, whether someone's looking for short-term therapy or a long-term home. For 2024, Cornerstone Nursing & Rehab Center is recognized as the number one senior living community in the Bemidji area, and continues to focus on delivering high-quality, resident-centered care across all its communities.
