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.

The facility is geared toward advanced dementia. Not a good fit for early-mid dementia. Yes, we would recommend the community to other families. For advanced dementia patients

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

The staff at Cardinal Court is amazing. They truly seem to care about the residents. I visit at different times and days during the week and have always felt that the staff is providing the best care for all residents every time I am there. I'm so glad A Place for Mom recommended Cardinal Court.

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.

Nice for your loved one

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!!

Review for Cardinal Court Transitional Assisted Living and Memory Care

Overall I would say the care is good, the staff is competent and helpful. The residents always look clean. There are daily activities for the residents. They offer; Bingo, pet therapy, religious services, crafts and nostalgic movies. They respond to concerns in a timely manner.

Tour Experience

Cardinal Court seemed outdated, and not a good fit for memory care. More like the typical warehousing of elder residents that one thinks of with little regard for memory care. I would not ever consider placing family there ever.

Reasons for choosing Cardinal Court

My mom has been at Cardinal Court for approximately 18 months. I have nothing but positive words for the professionalism of the staff, the quality of care delivered, and the condition of the facility. Anyone faced with the difficult decision of finding a place for a loved one should pay Cardinal Court a visit.

Recent Move to Cardinal Court

If you have family members that need memory care, I recommend you take some time to tour the facility. After an accident, my father was in several facilities for rehab until he needed long-term memory care. I called and toured several facilities and was most impressed by the Cardinal Court facility and staff. I visit my Dad at different hours of the day, always feel welcome, and am impressed by the staff's patience with the residents. Various members of the staff have provided recommendations on ways we can help my Dad as he transitions into his new living arrangements. While no living situation is perfect, I feel like the staff does their best to care for the residents and keep me informed as well.

above and beyond

If you are in search of a residence for your loved one, I highly recommend Cardinal Cour to be your choice. This facility checked off every box we needed and then somewhen we were in search of a place for my father. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure your loved one feels like they are right at home. The staff is specialized to provide the needed care, compassion and experience to those living with Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia and other memory issues. I knew my father [name removed] was in great hands, plus the facility has special safety features and protocols in place that gave me piece of mind. The staff does not make one feel like they are just another number, but rather treated with love, compassion and a part of the community. The staff provided updates and kept me informed of my father's health, wellbeing and other matters. Thank you so much to [name removed], [name removed]and all of those who made my father feel like he was right at home during his stay at Cardinal Court

A great place for mom !

Cardinal Court came highly recommended by a family friend whose mother has been a resident for several years. During my initial visit I was overwhelmed that I had to decide on a new home for my mother in less than 10 days. Our original plan fell through and I was desperate to find a facility that could properly care for my mom. I spoke with [name removed] over the phone and she was so compassionate, professional and knowledgeable. I set up a tour the next day and was very impressed with the facility. It was clean, no weird odors, and the residents were in the common areas. I liked the fact that the residents had the entire community to roam and were not locked into a small unit like other facilities. Move in was easy with only needing clothes, bathroom supplies and a couple of personal touches such as photos. Everything else was provided. Which for us was a huge bonus. My mom has been at the facility for 6 months and I am very happy with her care and communication from the staff.
