Clean and friendly we were only there a short time

We were only there a short time my mother -in-law passed away in 5 months of living there, sudden heart attack took her. She seemed Happy that is what was most important to us. There were things we didn't care for, like locking her door and her having to ask for the bathroom, but the longer she was there we understood why they locked the doors, the other residents would be in her room and going through her stuff, depending how far along their dementia, they didn't understand it wasn't there's so locking doors we understood.

A great place for mom! Best Dementia care for mom

Cardinal is so welcoming- it feels like visiting family when I visit. Especially love the outside areas where residents can walk around or be outside. Also an interior covered patio with a fountain

Friendly staff, great experience and a life saver for everyone's mental health!

While[Name removed] was at Cardinal Care, they took very good care of her. They kept us informed about her stay and if they had any questions they would call and ask us. They kept her busy with the different activities. They also took pictures of her stay and she was very well entertained and happy. We are very pleased that they offer the memory care service so we could go on a vacation. Thanks for the peace of mind.

Review for Cardinal Court Transitional Assisted Living and Memory Care

Care was very attentive to residents. A potential resident should be late stage dementia to fit in well at cardinal court. I would recommend them to others who are searching for a place for their loved one.

Great care at Cardinal!

The cleanliness is a 5++++. Even my mom talks about how clean it is. All staff checks in and gets to know us as family. My father in law was also at Cardinal, just passed away from a stroke. Staff was so amazing. Even though they hadn't had a long time getting to know him. The food is amazing and kitchen and dining staff do an amazing job getting to know residents, who liked coffee or tea. I love the activities and activity staff. The value for cost is a 5++++ I feel Cardinal is well staffed and I love how all staff is trained to engage with residents

Review for Cardinal Court Transitional Assisted Living and Memory Care

They definitely wouldn't get a five 3.5, I have some issues with their staff not taking the appropriate care for my mom. And issues with them when it comes to her diabetes. And her constantly being wet when I visit or other family members visit. Dirty diapers in her bathroom. Smelled her whole room on several occasions.

A Peace of Mind

The facilities are clean and well kept. The staff is amazing and make sure all residents are well cared for. They have regular activities planned for the residents. Above all else, the nurses, aides and administrators are wonderful. I'm very happy with our decision to move my mom into Cardinal Court.

Memory Care

Our experience at Cardinal Court was amazing for my mother. The only thing that was difficult is seeing all those living there with declining cognitive abilities sitting by nurses station. I also wish that there was a key fab to open door to the residents apartment. The staff was amazing though. They seem to be short staffed and not too many activities. We keep my mother busy though.

Review for Cardinal Court Transitional Assisted Living and Memory Care

The facility is beautiful and very well maintained. Everyone on the staff is friendly and very focused on keeping the residents safe, happy and healthy. They have great activities for the residents and include the families in many celebrations for the holidays. The costs are reasonable for the care provided. The residents rooms are spacious and cleaned weekly if not more often. I also thought it was important for the rooms to each have a private bathroom and shower

My wife was previously a resident at Cardinal Court Transitional Memory Care and I would rate them at a ten for everything if I could. Cardinal Court was the best place for my wife. You could not find a better, more loving caring staff anywhere. It is a great place with great people and hospice was also great.

A great place

It is not perfect but my loved one was taken care of by some very kind caregivers. I also think it is good to remember they are doing the best job they can. If a person is unhappy with something they need to voice it. The administration works hard to correct the situation if possible.

They are professional and a good place for your love ones. I liked the layout, room size. Looked more like a home than a stark facility. Staff seem to care about the people who call it home. I would recommend this place to other people.

With Gratitude!!

I met the Community developmental director at Cardinal Court, when considering possible long term care for my father. She was professional and kind. She walked me through the process for if that time came and continued to check in with me for support and encouragement as I cared for my father. On one of those calls, I expressed the turn of events that I was having at another "Rehab Facility", she along with the Administrative director and Nursing director helped me get my fathered transferred and settled. Within a few months my father was social, active, walking again, eating and happy! I cannot express our appreciation for the care and love you've all shown. From the awesome Nursing staff and Caregiver's to the Secretary and Receptionist; Business manager; Activities coordinator; Head chef; Maintenance director and 'Everyone' in between, "Thank You"!! What a wonderful community, clean, kind and professional!!
