Seniors Enjoy Pennsylvania Continuing Care Retirement Community's Pastoral Setting and Historic Flavor

Cost-of-Living:  Meets U.S. National Average

Cornwall Manor is a non-profit, continuing care retirement community in Cornwall, Pennsylvania, a small town (population 3,500) centrally located between Harrisburg and Lancaster.  Originally established as a home for retired United Methodist Church clergy in 1949, this community provides housing and health care in a "caring, Christian environment."  Situated on 190 leafy acres of an estate that once belonged to an iron-magnate, Cornwall Manor has a lovely, rural campus and boasts several historic buildings that date from the 18th and 19th centuries.  In fact, seven apartments are housed in a building dating from 1773.
