Another fun evening at last night’s Happy Hour. This Thanksgiving we are thankful for all our residents who make our community so special. Happy Thanksgiving.🦃

Artful Connections Art Show!

Artful Connections at Cornwall Manor is a dynamic, multi-faceted arts program designed to enrich life and promote healthy aging. Research shows that the arts play a vital role in supporting physical, mental and emotional well-being for older adults. By providing creative outlets, these programs foster self-expression, social connection and joy.

This year’s Artful Connections offerings included storytelling, clay sculpting, watercolor painting, drumming circles, African mud cloth design, CM Sings and CM Players. The program culminated in a vibrant November Art Show, where residents proudly displayed the works they created throughout the year.

Adding to the celebration, Cornwall Manor hosted LeadingAge PA’s Ageless Art and Timeless Treasures Traveling Art Show, featuring exceptional artwork by residents of retirement communities across Pennsylvania. This collaboration highlighted the power of creativity to inspire and connect people of all ages.

🇺🇸 Resident Spotlight: Honoring Helen Storey’s Legacy of Service 🇺🇸
As we continue to celebrate Veterans Day, we honor Helen Storey—a woman whose life reflects courage, compassion, and commitment.

Born in Dover, PA, as the youngest of eight children, Helen dreamed of becoming a nurse. When opportunities seemed limited, she found her path through service. Helen enlisted in the U.S. Navy, trained as a practical nurse, and later became an operating room technician. It was during her military service that she met George, the love of her life, who served in Korea with a MASH unit.

Helen reminds us that Veterans Day is more than a date—it’s a tribute to those who served and sacrificed. We thank Helen, George, and all veterans for their unwavering dedication.

🇺🇸Honoring Service and Sacrifice🇺🇸

Today, Cornwall Manor gathered to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have served our country. The Veterans Day program featured heartfelt remarks, patriotic music and a moment of reflection to recognize the dedication and courage of those who defended our freedoms. Residents and staff came together in gratitude, creating a meaningful celebration of honor and community. Special thanks to our guest speaker, Robert Hoffman.
