A community of neighbors.

Living “the good Life”.

Living “the good life” is simple at Cornerstone. We have removed the list of to-dos like cooking, cleaning, and yardwork so you can fill your day with  exciting possibilities instead.  After a lifetime of balancing the responsibilities of home ownership, it’s time to retire. Let us do the work so you can embrace all the things that put a spark back in your day. Ready to explore what real freedom feels like? Let’s chat! 

A LIFESTYLE THAT leads to wellness

At Cornerstone, we wish to help residents achieve whole-person wellness that considers all aspects of what healthy living entails, in body, mind, and spirit. We want to support all areas of your life; intellectual, social, physical, and more. These healthy living goals fit nicely and naturally into the typical day for our residents. Consider these five enhancements to your lifestyle:

1. Food. Cooking is optional. With Chef prepared meals at your fingertips, it almost seems silly to pull out pots and pans to cook for one.  Plus, the meals are nutritionally balanced, attractive and well-planned.  You may never cook again. Don’t forget the best part- we do the dishes too!
2. Friends. It has been said that the best type of library is a community because interesting stories abound, lived out in the pages of people’s lives.  At Cornerstone, you’ll find no shortage of intriguing people to befriend and swap tall tales. The value that these new friends add to your life is immeasurable because you’ll find prayer partners, jokesters, secret keepers and encouragers that will, no doubt, make life better.
   
3. Wellness. When your daily wellness program opportunities are balanced, positive, inclusive, and right outside your door, you’ll find that motivation is also well within reach. Whether it’s a chair yoga class, time on the elliptical, or a stroll on the community walking paths, the opportunities to keep your body moving abound at Cornerstone.
   
4. Spontaneity. While routine can be comforting, a little unexpected excitement is what makes life good. Around Cornerstone, you’ll find there is always something unexpected to bring a smile. Whether it’s an unplanned jam session around the piano or exciting new hobby that has grabbed your attention, the possibilities are endless. Now, doesn’t that sound fun?
   
5. Purpose. Life is defined by what gets us out of bed each morning.  For some, that purpose becomes the many volunteer opportunities around Cornerstone.  For others, it may be the joy of letting us handle the housework, cooking, and yardwork so that they can fully give their time to what matters most to them.  Whatever your purpose, we pray it deepens at Cornerstone.
   

the basics.

Our charter stipulates entry for no one younger than 55 (unless one’s spouse is older). Our parent company is Methodist Retirement Communities (MRC), who gets its origins from the United Methodist Church (UMC).  The Texas Annual Conference gifted the first ever community, establishing MRC in 1962. Today, the UMC doesn’t provide MRC with financial support for operational expenses, nor do they provide oversight to operations.  However, there is a very strong relationship of support that manifests in charitable donations and volunteerism. While these are our roots, Cornerstone warmly welcomes every dear soul, regardless of color, disability, gender, nationality, race or religion.

What about pets?

Your small dog or cat surely qualifies as family and is absolutely welcomed at Cornerstone. Yes, studies have shown how important pets are for good health, especially as we age, but no clinical trial can ever get to the depth of feeling, the power of communication and the simple joy of companionship that pets bring to one’s retirement living. We only ask for the opportunity to interview your pet prior to your move so that we can ensure they are a great fit for community living. Naturally, some limitations may apply but we’d be happy to discuss the details with you when the time is right. Get in touch!

an exceptional STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE

As a faith-based community, we are compelled to demonstrate the love of Christ in all that we do.  We believe this is the highest standard possible and this commitment translates to staff who go the extra mile, programs that are thoughtfully designed, and leadership that leads from a place of humility.  That’s why you’ll hear folks constantly talking about MRC’s ICARE values.  ICARE is an acronym that stands for integrity, compassion, accountability, respect and excellence and serves as our guide. Every single person on our staff is committed to demonstrating these ICARE principles every single day, in every way.  That means we’re all on the lookout for ways to serve, all the time. It’s not just a job, it’s a calling, one that comes from the heart.

come see for yourself

With every way we could describe Cornerstone here, the fact remains, you’ve really got to see it for yourself. If you are considering a possible change, make sure you give yourself time to take a tour, try the food and talk to folks. Strike up some conversations with new and familiar friends and ask about our wellness program or activities- anything you like. Ready for a visit? Let us know and we will get the table set.
