If you’re looking for a “facility” this isn’t it- this just feels like home.

The staff are happy and genuinely care about the people who live here. They all have a roll and are excellent at what they do, they are able to bring joy because they’re at ease, they know what they’re doing. If you’re looking for community you have options, this place is big enough to find a friend but not so big that it feels overwhelming. It’s nice, folks tend to look out for each other. The delicious dining room has a gorgeous view- that alone is worth the price of admission. There are activities that stimulat

Grateful for our experience with Cardinal Point

My 90 year-old mother has been at Cardinal Point for 3 years now. I regularly ask her, if she feels anxious or concerned about her life. She always, emphatically, says No. She feels lucky to be at Cardinal Point, calling out the staff as professional, experienced, caring, and providing excellent care. I have a great sense of security with Cardinal Point. The dining, health care, physical therapy, all have exceeded my expectations.

I had a wonderful experience and tour at Cardinal Point. [name removed], our tour guide, was exceptionally knowledgeable and clearly appreciated by the community. The place is very nice, clean, and the highlight is the views. You get a great view of the habour/water, and can enjoy watching boats go by or admire the different flocks of birds.

The marketing director was outstanding with her knowledge, friendliness, patience, and in depth tour of the building. Dining room was beautiful and the food was as well. Wait staff was attentive and knowledgeable as well. They offer seasonal menus as well as daily specials that are like the title.....very special. The upkeep of the building was top notch as well.

A place of care

I went to visit my family member who lives at Cardinal Point. Upon walking in I was amazed at how clean it was and the decor of this place was AMAZING. I was greeted by the front desk receptionist and she directed me where to go. The staff was so pleasant everyone saying hello while walking through the hallways felt good. This place is really nice.The food was good also dining area was nicely decorated also having a bar was shocking but so nice for the residents to gather and have a drink plus a nice theatre.

Cardinal Point in a nutshell! And more!

I have lived here for 14 years. As in life itself there have been ups and downs. I will have to say that they have mostly been up. In a community of 100 or thereabouts, we all seem to get along pretty well. The staff has always been good, and at the present time they are great! Our executive staff is also great. The actual faculty is beautiful. It is very well maintained and cared for. You can see that the owners are very well apprised of any needs and take care of them very quickly. The owners also offer a 10
