Cornwall Manor is proud of its long tradition of quality care, but that includes much more than just taking care of the physical needs of residents. Our community's intergenerational program allows residents to interact on a regular basis with people of a variety of generations, both through formal group activities and in informal settings.

Cornwall Children's Center

The Cornwall Children's Center, located just across the street from Cornwall Manor's Health Center, is a day care center for children ages six weeks to 10 years, with an active before and after school program and summer program. From very early on, the children begin to develop a relationship with residents at Cornwall Manor. Older children visit with Health Center and Personal Care residents, creating crafts, reading books, singing songs, or just talking with residents.

Staff from the Children's Center and Cornwall Manor's Activities Department plan a program designed to maximize positive interaction between residents and children through appropriate activities.

For more information about the Cornwall Children's Center, call Kristin Brandt, Director, at 717.274.5764.

Volunteers from Many Generations

Through Cornwall Manor's volunteer and activities programs, people of many generations visit the campus for a variety of reasons. Students from Lebanon Catholic High School, Cedar Crest High School and Eastern Lebanon County High School have all volunteered their time for community service credits, class requirements and enjoyment. Teens over age 14 may volunteer individually to transport wheelchair-bound residents to activities, present programs to groups, or visit individual residents. Many groups of children under age 14 visit with supervision to present concerts, lead programs and play games.

Involvement with the Local Community

Cornwall Manor cooperates with several local school districts, the Chamber of Commerce and the local newspaper to sponsor students in a variety of activities, including career shadowing and Newspapers in Education. Cornwall Manor also regularly offers internships to qualified college students.

In addition, each year, several events at Cornwall Manor are designed to encourage young people to visit the campus. The Community Easter Egg Hunt, Community Fountain Concerts, and Safe Halloween (trick-or-treating at houses and apartments) all provide fun activities for the entire family.
