What the cornerstone agency of does

The Cornerstone Agency of PA, Inc. is a Pennsylvania-based, for-profit human services provider headquartered in Lemoyne that delivers behavior support, supported living, life sharing, housing transition/tenancy, and professional training services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The company is an approved waiver provider under Pennsylvania's Office of Developmental Programs (ODP), positioning it to bill Medicaid-funded IDD waiver services to eligible participants in the state. Service delivery is staff-intensive and credential-driven, executed by Master's Level Supervisors, Behavior Consultants, and Direct Support Professionals, with the proprietary BASS Assessment serving as a specialized behavioral intake and evaluation methodology. The company does not operate a technology platform; its clinical workflows and documentation are conducted through conventional human services practice rather than proprietary software.

Revenue is generated primarily through Pennsylvania ODP waiver reimbursement, supplemented by private-pay contracts that are billed at the same ODP rate structure, indicating a price-taker position relative to a single dominant state payer. Go-to-market is referral-based, anchored by an ongoing service partnership with Bloom Human Services dating to 2021 that channels IDD consumers into Cornerstone's supported living and behavior support offerings. End customers are individual IDD beneficiaries and their families (B2C/B2G hybrid), with a county-level geographic focus in south-central Pennsylvania. Leadership includes CEO Brenda Laubach, Executive Director Michelle Stagmer, and CFO Jennifer Ladd, and the firm publicly markets more than 35 years of collective IDD experience across its clinical and administrative staff.
