Cardinal Senior Living

We've placed my wife in Cardinal Senior Living. We've only been there two weeks now. My impression is that they're doing better than where we were, but they don't have very many patients there.

We've placed my wife in Cardinal Senior Living. We've only been there two weeks now. My impression is that they're doing better than where we were, but they don't have very many patients there. It's a smaller outfit. It's a little more assisted living and then some. They give her more help in some things. They're a little more flexible than some of the larger ones. The facility is very good, nice and clean. Everything looks good. It's an older one, but they seem to have everything. They seem to be in charge and doing a good job with it. The staff and the services are very good. They are more attentive. You push your button and they're going to be there unlike the last place where she was, you push your button and you may or may not get anybody. I didn't eat there, but the food looked very good and my wife seems to like it. Most of the people there are eating and most of them eat a lot. She's still getting used to the place and she's in a wheelchair most all the time and hadn't been able to do some of the stuff that they were doing. The staff members are very competent and the good thing about it is we got a nurse that stays with her all the time. I don't have a change of nurses like some of the others we experienced. I don't know exactly what all they're doing, but it seems that everybody's enjoying themselves and they've got some rooms where they're playing cards and they've got some rooms where they're just relaxing. I was pleased with it.

We took a tour at Cardinal Senior Living and we couldn't afford them because they had a lot of extra fees. It was a very nice tour though. They all seemed very close, they knew the patients by name.

We took a tour at Cardinal Senior Living and we couldn't afford them because they had a lot of extra fees. It was a very nice tour though. They all seemed very close, they knew the patients by name. The facility was nice, but it was really kind of small. The rooms were small and there was only room for a bed and a dresser. It was a community bathroom for everybody so you didn't have your own bathroom. Everything else was nice. The people were all very friendly. The residents were all happy and everything else seemed nice. I was looking for assisted living during my tour. The rooms were just really small, it's just room for a bed and a dresser and maybe a small closet. They had single rooms with one bed and then they had double rooms with two but there wasn't room for anything but the very basic. They didn't have room for a recliner or something for them to sit in like that. Some of them were having meals when I got there. It was basically just an open room with multiple tables that sat up to four people for them to have lunch or dinner or whatever together. They said they set up different activities for them. They charge extra for everything. Extra for laundry, extra for cable, and extra for a telephone.

My mother-in-law will be moving into Cardinal Senior Living. It seems very cheerful and professionally run. They have caring staff, it was a little lower priced than some of them that we have looked at, and it just had better accommodations. It seemed like a better fit. The manager, who is one of the co-owners, was very professional and helpful.

Cardinal Senior Living is very small. The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The exterior was very well maintained. It's not extremely secluded, but it's not close to a road.

Cardinal Senior Living is very small. The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The exterior was very well maintained. It's not extremely secluded, but it's not close to a road. There were lots of flat areas for residents to walk. They have a small beauty shop for residents. The facility is more like a house, so it has lots of small areas. Those are the two things that made us choose a different facility. It's also darker and has darker walls. It does not have many large windows, and the gathering space for residents was small with narrow hallways. For our mom, who's used to being able to be out, we just think she would not be out as much as she normally is. We felt like that would be very confining for her. Also, she kind of fit in between their two places. Her memory is not good enough really to be in assisted living because she would have what's called a wonder guard; she would have to wear that. It would automatically lock the doors that she tried to go out, so that that was not very ideal. The memory care people were much more severe and profound than she is. She is very verbal and mobile, even though what she says isn't true. She would not have anybody there to interact with. They have several very nice outdoor patios and covered porches for their assisted living people. They had a small garden that was secure for the memory care. Because mom would need the security, she really couldn't go out onto the covered patios that they had for assisted living; there would be no one to watch her. She could wander off. There just wasn't an in-between for her at Cardinal. The tour was great. They answered all of our questions. They anticipated what questions we might have, showed us things that we might need (but might not need). They showed us everything regardless, so that we would have an idea of everything that they offered. They take their residents on field trips, which is very nice.

My mother-in-law moved into Cardinal Senior Living. We're very, very pleased. They've been wonderful. The apartment is fine, and she's in a private room. So far, everything's been good.

My mother-in-law moved into Cardinal Senior Living. We're very, very pleased. They've been wonderful. The apartment is fine, and she's in a private room. So far, everything's been good. We haven't met a lot of the other staff because of COVID. They do have a little courtyard. They do the laundry, they've just been really good, I think there's a beautician, and we're just so far very pleased.

Cardinal Senior Living is very clean, we do feel they are under staffed. Since COVID we haven't really had the chance to go into the facility or visit. Compared to most places, this facility was pretty good priced. They have tried to keep the residents apart and social distance. Sometimes they do let the residents play corn hole. The first room she was in was very small, but the room she is in now is acceptable.
