About The Company
Cornerstone Healthcare Group are a multi award-winning, sector leader with an innovative approach to complex care
Cornerstone specialises in supporting adults of all ages with complex neurological, physical, and mental health needs. 
Residents are typically living with neurological degenerative conditions, such as dementia with an underlying mental health condition, and as such are vulnerable and at times prone to challenging behaviours associated with complex conditions.  Many have been unable to stay in other settings because their needs have been deemed too high or too challenging. 
Operating well-established homes in Waterlooville and Curdridge in Hampshire and Mytchett in Surrey, as well as a new state-of-the-art ‘eco’ home in Bristol, the Group has built a reputation for delivering consistently high standards of care, focusing on the individual journey of each resident.
At Cornerstone, the expert clinical care skills and approach of the team mean that people with the most complex needs can find a place to call home.
