Overview of Cornerstone at Canton

Cornerstone at Canton offers assisted living and memory care in Canton, MA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while allowing a resident to keep a private living space.

The community has 87 beds, with studios, suites, and one-bedroom residences. There are several residence types. A Walk Score of 64 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach select destinations independently.
