Gary & Susan Bitner

“After being involved with both family and friends who waited too long and then were too overwhelmed to make plans and decisions, we knew we wanted to make a different choice and
move right after we retired. We investigated a number of options, but Cornwall Manor stood out as the best. Once we decided on Cornwall Manor, we were anxious to move in and that
proved to be one of our best decisions. The sense of freedom in living here is so refreshing.

Our home is perfect for us and the people, both residents and staff, are consistently wonderful. There are many different programs, activities and volunteer opportunities from which to choose. We can be as active (or inactive) as we want. Our children are happy for us. We were committed to the move, but living at Cornwall Manor has far exceeded our expectations.

“Not wanting to change churches and the community, coming to Cornwall Manor was, for me, a perfect move from my home in Mt. Gretna. I loved the fact that I and my dear Jack Russell, “Dutch” were welcome at this pet-friendly community. The beauty and tranquility of Cornwall Manor is self evident. The grounds are well-cared-for and maintained by talented gardeners and Cornwall Manor staff. I enjoy the freedom from outside chores, however; looking deeper we become aware of a caring and compassionate staff, sensitive to our every need.

When I found myself with an unplanned stay in our Health Center, I learned just how compassionate and sensitive the staff really is. They exhibit their dedication to those in their care daily. My unexpected stay in the Health Center was personal evidence of the peace of mind that our continuing care community provides. All the staff and personnel at Cornwall Manor are truly interested in, and responsive to, the welfare of our residents. I thank God for each and every person who works here.”

Trish & Charlie Weigel

“Cornwall Manor has been part of our family for three generations. Three of Trish’s grandparents  were residents over a period of many years. In their later years, they were all residents of the Health Center, where they received excellent care and lived in a compassionate environment. Our family visited often, and we were always impressed with the quality of care they received.

Currently, we both are volunteers at Cornwall Manor in the Health Center and Corson Hall. Our presentations through the Horizons programs bring us into contact with the residents as they share their stories and anecdotes.

Charlie served on the Cornwall Manor Board for ten years, bringing him into contact with senior staff members who impressed him with their dedication to Cornwall Manor and their vision for its mission. It is exciting for us to see each new development as Cornwall Manor grows its purpose and mission!”

Walt & Lyn Sherman

“We believe the best gift we can give our children is peace of mind. That is why we made the decision to move to Cornwall Manor while we are still young and active enough to enjoy all the opportunities offered here. Our children know Cornwall Manor provides us with a ‘safety net’ that includes quality on-site personal care, memory care and even nursing care and rehabilitation, should our health needs change. Making the decision to move to Cornwall Manor now was the best way to free our children from the worry and responsibility of having to make decisions regarding our care in the future.”

Diana Reilly

“Moving to Cornwall Manor was the best decision for me! The transition of becoming a resident was easy because my volunteer involvement allowed me to become acclimated to the community, residents, and staff. I very much feel at home – my neighbors are very friendly, my home offers all the conveniences of modern living, and there’s still plenty of space to have all my grandchildren over to visit.

I have peace of mind knowing that if I ever need anything, all I have to do is pick up the phone and call. No more worrying about shoveling snow, cutting grass, cleaning gutters or an appliance that stopped working. I also enjoy the vast variety of amenities available – interest groups for every hobby, concerts, lectures, volunteer opportunities, dining, pastoral care, trips, and transportation. My family and I are so glad I chose Cornwall Manor. Don’t wait until it’s too late – come now and enjoy everything this wonderful community has to offer!”

Joe & Marie Barnett

“Would we recommend Cornwall Manor as a continuing care retirement community? Absolutely.”

Marie was ready to move to Cornwall Manor over 10 years ago when we first visited The Woods. At that time there were just 2 houses under construction. Joe was a little more reluctant to move from his ‘ancestral home’ in Chester County. In the meantime, Marie’s mother moved to Cornwall Manor. This gave us an excellent opportunity to observe how Cornwall treated their residents and the many activities that were available. Finally, we decided to make the move and moved to The Woods. Now, over 4 years later, we couldn’t be happier.

We would list our neighbors as the ‘best of the best’ attributes of living at Cornwall Manor. They are the greatest. Coming from all walks of life and from the four points of the compass, they welcomed us with open arms and gracious help with a wonderful lack of intrusion in our daily routines.

Our words of wisdom: don’t wait too long!

“The beauty of Cornwall Manor’s beautiful wooded grounds and rich history of the former Coleman estate are just a few of the many things that attracted me to Cornwall Manor.

The location is excellent – you are tucked away in a quiet setting but very close to shopping, dining and theatre in Lebanon, Lancaster, Reading, Harrisburg and more.

So much is offered here. Cornwall Manor’s extensive amenities and services available is terrific – everything you need is right here . There are numerous activities and day trips–so much to choose from. The food is excellent and the menus are well-planned with a touch of class. I enjoy dining when I want to since I am not required to purchase a meal plan.

I have peace of mind knowing that health care is available right here, if I should ever need it and I am very pleased that Cornwall Manor is constructing a new health center.

I am so glad that I moved to Cornwall Manor.”

George and Helen Storey

“We initially decided to move to The Woods at Cornwall Manor because of the quality of the homes, the wooded setting and the opportunity to customize our new home.

Since moving to Cornwall Manor in 2008, we have grown to appreciate the caring neighbors and staff, the security of knowing that when we travel during the winter months that our home is “looked after,” and the availability of so many programs, activities and services – including health care on-site. We couldn’t be happier.”

John Parker

I truly enjoy the freedom I have living at Cornwall Manor. Living here allows me to do the things that I love and the beautiful, wooded community has everything that I need.

Staying in shape is important to me and having a variety of wellness opportunities available at Cornwall Manor is essential. I enjoy biking on the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail, swimming three days a week and working out in the fitness center. I want to continue to stay in good health so I can keep up with my active grandsons.

Living at Cornwall Manor grants me the best of both worlds. I can continue to be involved with my family. When my grandsons visit me there is plenty for them to do here like table tennis, billiards, swimming, riding bikes, putting and much more. When they aren’t visiting me, they are close enough that I can attend all their baseball, ice hockey and basketball games.

I also enjoy all the top-notch amenities at Cornwall Manor. The onsite medical care is convenient for my busy lifestyle. I walk to my doctor’s appointments at the Visiting Physicians Office. There is onsite banking. I enjoy the variety of trips offered to residents; this allows me to explore the area with my neighbors. I also appreciate the meaningful involvement I have as a volunteer.

My one-bedroom apartment is perfect for me. It has a lot of natural light with a spacious kitchen, which allows me to continue cooking for myself. Preparing my own food helps me stay in shape, so I enjoy not having a meal plan at Cornwall Manor. My apartment is adequately sized for everything I need. I enjoy having housekeeping services and my apartment is conveniently located to the library and walking trails.”
