These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
Cornerstone Retirement Community has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit. Public reviewers frequently mention: compassionate and friendly staff and beautifully maintained facility and landscaping. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Families often praise the facility for its beautiful grounds and a staff that many describe as caring, compassionate, and like family. However, there are serious concerns regarding the quality of skilled nursing care, specifically regarding hygiene, dietary restrictions, and responsiveness to resident needs.

Key Review Excerpts
“I’ve been living at Cornerstone for almost ten years. I can’t imagine a better decision that a senior citizen could make than to move here. The facilities are outstanding; the staff are well-trained, caring, and we love them almost like family”
“My family had to have ongoing conversations regarding providing basic hygiene, following appropriate dietary restrictions, and an incident where my mother was not picked up from an appointment until after midnight. It looks nice in the front...but the skilled care is another story all together.”
“My mother is in the process of moving into an independent living apartment and the staff at Cornerstone as been great to work with. Very responsive and accommodating.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
