About Us
Cornerstone Healthcare provides specialist care for vulnerable individuals with challenging neurodegenerative and mental health conditions.
Residents often have neurological degenerative conditions like Dementia combined with mental health issues, making them unsuitable for standard dementia or elderly residential care homes.
Currently, we operate three services in Waterlooville, Curdridge, and Mytchett, with two new locations opening in Bristol and Birmingham in 2025.
