The best emergency
is the one your Highland Beach
family never has to face.
Along the quiet stretch of A1A between Boca Raton and Delray Beach, Cornerstone brings family check-in visits, Home Companion and Property Watch to Highland Beach families. Founded by a career firefighter-paramedic.
Highland Beach is a small, quiet oceanfront town between Boca Raton and Delray Beach, made up largely of oceanfront condominiums and estate homes. Many residents are retirees, many homes sit empty for part of the year, and every one of them faces storm season on the barrier island — which means many families are managing an aging parent, or a seasonal home, from somewhere else.
Cornerstone's visits are built around that reality: attentive in-home check-ins and safety walkthroughs for the people you love, and dependable Property Watch for the home itself, with clear, documented reports after every visit so nothing is left to guesswork.
You may see your parent every week and still miss the small changes. Cornerstone adds a steady second set of eyes, scheduled visits, and one number to call in Highland Beach when life gets busy.
After every visit you get a written note, with photos for Property Watch, and one person in Highland Beach who knows your parent and the home by name. Calls and video updates are set around your schedule and your time zone.
Homes throughout Highland Beach, including the oceanfront condominiums along A1A and the Bel Lido neighborhood. Rides to appointments and errands, and home again after a hospital stay.
Most Highland Beach families don't reach out until something has already gone wrong. Our job is to make sure it never gets that far.

How Cornerstone helpsWe refer your family to a licensed home health agency for hands-on care, and stay on as your family's independent advisor.
Choose one, or combine them. Every service is non-medical, documented, and delivered with the discretion your family expects.
Scheduled check-in visits, home safety walkthroughs, written family reports, and a direct line to your advisor. For families who want someone watching over things, month after month.
Time with a screened companion: outings and appointments, meals, light housekeeping, or simply company at home. Book a few hours, or a regular schedule.
Home watch for seasonal and second homes in Highland Beach: scheduled, documented visits. Leaks, A/C, storm damage, doors, locks and alarm all checked, vendors arranged when needed, and a photo report after every visit.
Companion and homemaker services, including membership check-in visits and Home Companion, are provided under Cornerstone's Homemaker & Companion Services registration (AHCA registration pending). That registration applies only to homemaker and companion services. Property Watch, home safety walkthroughs and family liaison are separate services outside it, and involve no care of any person. See Clear Boundaries.
The same standard behind every membership, every companion visit and every Property Watch report.
Fifteen years in fire and EMS service, applied to your loved one's home: smoke detectors, electrical and heating hazards, escape routes, and the trip hazards behind most falls.
A direct line to your advisor, who knows your household by name. Never a call center, never a rotating cast of strangers.
A written, photo-documented report after every visit, in English or Spanish, so your family always knows what was seen and what's next.
Everyone who enters a client's home clears Florida's Level 2 background screening and the full Cornerstone Screening Standard first.
A signed confidentiality agreement from day one. No signage, no marked vehicles, just the polish of seasoned household staff.
When your family needs more, we recommend licensed agencies and vendors we've vetted ourselves. Never a paid placement.
