On Wednesday, April 8, the Pennsylvania Voter Hall of Fame held a special ceremony recognizing lifelong civic commitment. A total of 102 Lebanon County residents were inducted for voting in 50 consecutive years—an extraordinary milestone considering the county typically honors only one to two voters annually.

Statewide, the Hall of Fame includes more than 25,000 members, with approximately 300 from Lebanon County. Among those inducted this year are four Cornwall Manor residents. Congratulations to Larry Hall, LaVerne Longenecker, Sue Mechura and Diana Reilly on this remarkable achievement.

Wellness Office Lunch & Learn Brings Residents Together

Yesterday, residents gathered for a Wellness Office Lunch and Learn, enjoying a delicious meal while gaining valuable insight into the many resources available to support their well-being. The session was led by our new nurse navigator, Stacy Heckard, who introduced residents to the Wellness Office and highlighted the wide range of services and features it offers.

Stacy shared how the Wellness Office can serve as a helpful partner in navigating health-related questions, coordinating care and promoting overall wellness. Residents appreciated the opportunity to learn more in a relaxed, conversational setting—and to get to know Stacy as a new member of our team.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this Lunch and Learn such a success. We look forward to hosting more informative and engaging wellness programs in the future!

As part of the 75th anniversary celebration of the Cornwall Manor Society in 2025, members were invited to participate in a special Love Gift. Donations were generously made in honor or memory of loved ones, residents, or staff.

In keeping with the Society’s Mission, the gift was used to enhance the quality of life for residents in the Health Center. This spring and throughout the summer and fall seasons, an outdoor sail shade covering of the Health Center paved brick patio will provide extended hours of outside enjoyment and sun protection. The response to the appeal was amazing, raising over $25,000! We are very grateful to all who contributed and to Pat O’Neill and Ginny Badger for co-chairing this special project.

We'll continue to post pictures as the project unfolds!

Renovations to an apartment in our historic Buckingham Mansion are nearing completion. This unique residence is one of just six apartments within the Mansion and features two bedrooms, one-and-a-half bathrooms, and two of the building’s original fireplaces. High ceilings, preserved from the Mansion’s original design, add to the apartment’s historic charm and character.

With a history spanning more than 250 years, the Buckingham Mansion stands as one of the most significant historic landmarks in Lebanon County. While modern conveniences have been thoughtfully added over the years—including updated plumbing, electricity, HVAC systems, carpeting, hardwood flooring, and running water—the Mansion continues to retain the elegance and character of a bygone era.

🌸 Ladies Luncheon at Cornwall Manor 🌸

Connection, community, and a little inspiration—served monthly!
On the last Tuesday of every month, the resident ladies of Cornwall Manor gather for a delightful luncheon filled with fellowship, a devotion, and a special program. It’s a wonderful opportunity to nourish the body and the spirit while enjoying meaningful time with friends.

This tradition reflects our commitment to active living—staying socially connected, spiritually engaged, and intellectually curious at every stage of life. These are just some of the many benefits of living in a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), where friendships flourish, calendars stay full, and support is always close by.

At Cornwall Manor, community isn’t just where you live—it’s how you live. 💐

See what we've been up to! March Highlights.

March was filled with lively events, meaningful connections, and signs of new beginnings across the community. The Cornwall Car Cruisers kicked off the month with a memorable visit to the AACA Museum, enjoying classic automobiles and shared camaraderie. We also celebrated a remarkable milestone by honoring Bob Stokes’ 95th birthday, marking an inspiring life well lived.

Music and movement were front and center with March It Out, a dynamic way to welcome the changing season, along with a rewarding Concert Series performance and a delightful four-hand piano recital that showcased extraordinary talent. Residents and guests gathered for festive dining experiences, including a hearty Irish dinner, a BBQ luncheon with live country music, and a special evening where the Corson Ladies dined in the Freeman Dining Room.

Staff appreciation and wellness were equally important this month. We recognized our team during Employee Appreciation Day and Social Worker Day, while the Wellness Office celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with green-themed fun and festive spirit. The Theologs meeting offered thoughtful discussion and fellowship, continuing a valued tradition.

Intergenerational and educational connections flourished as students from the Lebanon Valley College Physical Therapy Program visited and interacted with residents, creating engaging and meaningful exchanges. Residents also welcomed the Trailside Organic Farm pop-up market, enjoying fresh, local offerings.

March concluded with the joy of the first day of spring, a reminder of renewal and growth, alongside visible progress with ongoing construction on Grandview, Treetop, and Overlook Drives, signaling exciting improvements ahead.

From celebrations and music to community partnerships and renewal, March was a month to remember.
