Cornerstone Group Home sits in a single-story house at 1521 West 2nd Avenue in Port Washington, Wisconsin, where you'll find a medium-sized group home set up for up to 8 adults, so it never feels crowded, and the rooms come furnished, with options for studio-style layouts, private or shared bedrooms, and a handful of common areas where folks tend to gather for meals or games or sometimes movie nights. The place is family-owned and really puts effort into personalized care, welcoming adults with developmental disabilities and older folks who want help but still value their independence, and the whole building's set up for accessibility, with ramps at every exit, two half-baths and two full baths all fitted with grab bars, and walkways and community spaces that keep everyone comfortable, whether someone's pretty active or gets around with help.
Trained staff are around day and night, helping with bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming, handling medications, and other daily things, plus they coordinate with doctors, manage health care, and make sure emergency help is close by when needed. Special diets get attention too, whether someone's watching their salt for high blood pressure or managing diabetes, and the kitchen turns out home-cooked meals every day right in the communal dining room where people eat together but there's also some flexibility for eating when you want. They take care of laundry, housekeeping, and sometimes even light dry cleaning, so there's a real sense of getting to relax while the chores get handled.
The place runs regular activities to keep people engaged-movie nights, fitness and music programs, creative projects, and plenty of scheduled events like social nights and games, and there's always a quiet spot in the reading room if someone prefers to relax, as well as outside gardens, game rooms, and wellness features like a hot tub or steam area for winding down, and if a haircut or trim is needed, there's a barber or beauty shop on site. There's also transportation for doctor appointments, shopping trips, or spiritual services.
Cornerstone Group Home accepts ambulatory, semi-ambulatory, and non-ambulatory adults, even those who need help in case of emergencies, and the structure's set up to accommodate wheelchairs throughout, so movement's easy for everyone. For care, the community offers assisted living, respite care for short stays, and support for those with memory needs or folks who need hospice care. The care team creates individualized plans and goes through a thoughtful assessment, even involving families and skill evaluations, making sure new residents are oriented and comfortable-they even encourage future residents to join in meals or activities before moving in so everyone can get a real feel for the place.
The overall focus stays on safety, community, and promoting independence for each person, and since it's family-run, there's an effort to foster a true feeling of home without being overbearing about routines or losing that personal touch in care, which many folks say makes it feel genuine. The starting rate runs at $3,893 each month, which includes all those support services, meals, daily activities, and a room in a setup that's both secure and home-like. Cornerstone Group Home keeps its approach simple-comfortable, respectful care built around what each resident needs, with both privacy and companionship in mind.
