Voted BEST Again!

Cornwall Manor was again voted Best Retirement Community by the Lebanon Daily News. This is an accolade we’ve held since 2011, when the contest began. That’s right, the Lebanon Valley has voted us BEST for 13 consecutive years!

Cornwall Manor has been providing high-quality housing, healthcare and related services for individuals to achieve a retirement and aging lifestyle they find fulling. We’ve cared compassionately for thousands of people during our 74-year existence. So, what makes Cornwall Manor the best? With the help of our residents and staff, we’ve put together this list of what makes us the “best.”

• A beautiful and quiet campus on 190 wooded acres with a blend of historic and new buildings
• 74 years of experience
• Nestled in the peaceful countryside but just a short drive to top-notch medical care (VA Medical Center, Penn State Hershey Medical Center, Wellspan/Good Samaritan Hospital, Penn Medicine/Lancaster General Health); major highways, interstates, airports and Amtrak stations; and close to dining, shopping, theater/concerts/cultural events
• Dedicated staff (almost 40% of our employees have worked here 10+ years) that know residents names.
• Safe and secure. Did you know Cornwall was ranked one of the safest places to live in Pennsylvania? The Cornwall Borough Police Department and Community Cornwall Fire Department are less than one mile from our Buckingham and Woods campuses.
• Maintenance-free living. No more cutting the grass, cleaning leaves from the gutter or shoveling snow. Just pick up the phone and let someone else take care of it.
• A full Life Engagement calendar including activities, trips and special interest groups galore. Our residents can choose from multiple things to do every day – they even tell us they don’t have enough time in their day to accomplish everything!
• Fitness & Recreation Programming; including a therapeutic pool and spa, fitness center, walking trails, outdoor fitness stations and a variety of wellness classes
• Partnership with the Rodale Institute, the leader in regenerative organic agriculture to provide an onsite organic farm
