CORNERSTONE LIVING-Duplicate in New Tripoli, PA is dedicated to memory-care services for older adults who are living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. The program concentrates on cognitive support, routine reinforcement, and security measures designed to limit confusion and wandering. Staff members use validated memory-care techniques such as redirection and structured daily schedules that aim to maintain residents’ existing abilities while slowing cognitive decline.
Beyond the core memory-care program, the community provides continuous health monitoring, medication management, and around-the-clock access to trained caregivers. Licensed nurses are on site to handle diabetic care, blood-pressure checks, and coordination of outside medical appointments. On-call physicians, rehabilitation therapists, and hospice partners can be engaged when residents need additional services. An emergency call system and staff trained in CPR and first aid add another layer of medical preparedness.
Residents can choose from private or companion suites that include safety features like grab bars, non-slip flooring, and emergency pull cords; some units also offer individual climate controls or in-room showers, but not every accommodation includes every feature. Weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and maintenance are part of the standard package. Resident parking is available for those who still drive or prefer easy access to a personal vehicle.
Meals are prepared on site three times a day with attention to nutritional guidelines for older adults and special diets such as low-sodium or diabetic plans. A registered dietitian reviews menus, and caregivers are present in the dining area to provide cueing or hands-on assistance if needed. Snacks and beverages are offered between meals to support hydration and steady blood-sugar levels. Family members are welcome to join residents for meals with advance notice, encouraging social interaction during dining hours.
