Our story
Our history
From a home for twelve to a campus for two hundred.
Our story
Seventy-six years on the bluff
1956: limestone from Highway 69
The first addition was built from limestone quarried on a member's farm. The cornerstone is still by the front door.
1974: the Health Center
Skilled nursing came to the bluff, so residents no longer had to leave town for care.
2003: Cornerstone House
Memory care opened in a house built around a porch and garden, designed with local families.
Today: same board, same promise
Two hundred residents, four levels of care, and a not-for-profit board that still meets in the parlor.
