Innovative Programming

Programs for Lifelong Learners

At Cornerstone at Canton, one of our guiding “Right Values” is a strong commitment to innovation—continually creating and enhancing programs and services that help seniors maintain their independence and enrich their daily lives. Our aim is to motivate and support residents in staying active, nurturing their well-being, and feeling confident and fulfilled each day.

Each month, our Program Directors design a full and engaging calendar featuring a wide range of fitness, creative, social, cultural, and spiritual opportunities. Whether you’re working to build strength and mobility through fitness classes, exploring international cuisine through Grab Your Passport!, enjoying a fresh cup of coffee in the cafe with friends, or relaxing with a good book by the fireplace, there’s always something meaningful to experience.

Innovative Assisted Living Programming in Canton MA


We know that age does not impact one’s desire to learn new things and make new memories. All residents at Cornerstone have the option of participating in the community’s EnrichedLIFE Program, an extensive collection of engaging music, art, education, exercise and spiritual programs offered on a daily basis. Our programming staff, including an art therapist, is dedicated to getting to know each resident on a personal level, seeking out their passions and interests, and finally making sure they’re given plenty of opportunities to express themselves. The only challenge will be deciding which activity to do first!

Pursue hobbies you love or try something completely new! Popular programs include:

  • Drama Club 
  • Remembering the Decades
  • Connection Through Music
  • Choral Group, The Cornerstone Crooners!
  • Sign Language Lessons
  • Movement and exercise classes including personal training, yoga, Zumba, and even interactive drumming groups

ConnectedLIFE Specialized Programming for those with Early Signs of Memory Loss


ConnectedLIFE is a specialized program supporting traditional Assisted Living residents who are experiencing early signs of memory loss or Mild Cognitive Impairment. Through therapeutic programming conducted in a failure-free, supportive environment, participants are encouraged and guided through the day with the goal of fostering relationships, independence and positive experiences.

The benefits of this program are enormous. In our ConnectedLIFE program, individuals feel safe, supported and valued. They spend their days with a small, select group of residents who are empathetic to each others’ conditions and struggles because they, too, are living with memory loss.

Individuals in ConnectedLIFE benefit from a higher staff-to-resident ratio, including a dedicated Program Specialist who is a Certified Dementia Practitioner. This therapeutic programming add-on is perfect for those who want additional structure, support and enhanced self-confidence.

A Therapeutic Compass Neighborhood for those with Memory Loss


Our secure Compass Memory Support Neighborhood® is a safe and nurturing environment where not only are residents’ physical needs being met, but the symptoms of their mild memory loss or Alzheimer’s disease are actually being treated. Our research-driven method for treating memory loss includes dignified care, individualized services, a full calendar of structured, socially engaging activities, and a brain-boosting dining program

Unique Features of Compass:

  • High staff-to-resident ratio
  • Small group programs (including 1:1 when appropriate) address and serve residents where they are at in the disease process
  • Environmental state-of-the-art design features and a homelike setting
  • Reconnections, a unique curriculum-based program where residents are immersed in a new topic each week
