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 staf
