On March 19, Certified Nurses Day, we celebrate our exceptional CNAs at Cornwall Manor, whose compassion and steadfast dedication enrich the lives of our residents each day. As essential members of our nursing team, they embody the heart of caring—something CNA Madelyn Doxtater exemplifies through her commitment, warmth and ongoing growth.

Cornwall Manor is excited to celebrate resident John McEllhenney and his new book, Standing on the Shoulders of Levi Zerr!

Inspired by Cornwall Manor’s 75th Anniversary, John transformed his 2024 presentation on Rev. Dr. Levi Zerr into a book honoring the man he believes was vital to our founding.

The book will be available in the Manor Shoppe starting today for $15 + tax, with all proceeds supporting Benevolent Care. The Manor Shoppe is located in the Freeman Community Center and is open Mondays 9 AM-3 PM, Tuesdays-Fridays 9 AM-1 PM and Saturdays 11 AM-1 PM.

John’s connection to Cornwall Manor spans nearly 80 years—from visiting the Mansion with his father in 1949 to making Bradley Hall his home in 2006.

📖 Stay tuned for a full story on John in the Spring 2026 ManorLife!
