In-Home Care in
Altoona, PA

Cornerstone Caregiving provides respite care and in-home senior care in Altoona, Hollidaysburg and surrounding Blair County communities. If you’re caring for a parent, spouse or other family member, there may be times when you need someone you trust to take over. Our caregivers can step in for a few hours or provide more regular help, giving you time to work, run errands or simply take a break.

Respite care is only part of what we do. Our caregivers also help older adults with bathing, dressing, preparing meals, light housekeeping, medication reminders and transportation to appointments. Every care plan is built around the person’s needs, whether that means occasional visits, overnight assistance or round-the-clock care. We have no hourly minimums and can also provide non-medical support alongside hospice care.

Our caregivers are Cornerstone employees, each with at least a year of experience. They undergo federal background checks and are bonded and insured. Families can request a male or female caregiver, and eligible veterans may qualify for care through VA benefits.

Our local Operating Director can meet with you at home for a free assessment, with no obligation to continue. We accept private pay and VA benefits, but not Medicare or Medicaid. Schedule an assessment to find out how we can help.

Kayleigh Garrett

Operating Director

Hello, I’m Kayleigh Garrett, and I’m proud to serve as the Operating Director at our Altoona, PA office. I’ve always been passionate about helping others and building meaningful relationships within the community, as I am also the Vice-President of Easter for Eli, a local nonprofit organization in memory of my little brother. With a background in healthcare sales and a heart for service, I lead with compassion, integrity, and the belief that every client deserves to be treated like family. “Every client is someone’s most important person in the entire world.” I’m committed to ensuring our caregivers feel supported and our clients receive the exceptional care they deserve—because making a difference in someone’s life is what drives me every day.
