Cardinal Village

I like the cleanliness at Cardinal Village, the responsiveness, and the cordial greeting of the entire staff there. I also like the information that was provided and the attitude that the staff we're working with. They look like a fairly new facility. They look and smell cleaner than the other place I toured. Their rooms looked clean and well-maintained, and the staff was professional. They have an activities area.

Pre-dementia, our loved one lived a full life: long community/public service; many personal interests. In late 2019, we her loving family decided fulltime memory care was the best option for her wellbeing, mental comfort and safety as well as the mental health of her care givers, who faced a tough decision, with care options no longer manageable or safe in her own home. We knew she likes to be independent, to belong, to be valued and important, but not stressed or overwhelmed. We considered these things, and her vibrant personality, when searching for a personable, mentally stimulating but calm and comforting setting for memory care; a new place she could belong. Our surveys and tours of local options revealed Cardinal Village to be the best choice. They stood out as a home that is well-managed, creates appealing activities, and employs compassionate and responsive staff. In retrospect, we chose well. More than two years later, we remain pleased.

My husband and I toured 4 memory care facilities in our area and ultimately chose Cardinal Village for his mother. We found the staff friendly and welcoming. Angela helped us step by step through the admission process and continues to check in on us to make sure our needs are met. The activities director, Linda took Mom under her wing on that first day. It was very hard leaving Mom that first afternoon, but Angela and Linda reassured us they would take care of her. We had to trust. They made it easy. When we returned a few days later, Mom was happy and had adjusted well to her new surroundings. We are thankful for their professionalism and above all, their sincere caring for our loved one.

This assisted senior living facility was a godsend to us. We had visited another facility but this was a much better choice and fit for our relative. It is a beautiful, modern place as you can see from the photos. The nursing team give my relative 24-hour care and calls me with any updates to medications and just to communicate with her well-being. All my relative's needs are met with convenient medical management, nurses, doctors, visiting clergies, and entertainers. The list goes on with engaging morning and afternoon activities, restaurant, dining style meals and snacks, laundry and housekeeping services, air and heat conditioned rooms with wifi/internet capability. The Sagely mobile app gives me updates and pictures of my relative when she attends her activities. This gives me comfort each day to keep connected with her. We are very pleased that our relative has a window view that we adorn with family photos and for her to see the outdoors. We are very appreciative to the directors and nursing team who give our relative the personal care she needs.

Cardinal Village in Fredericksburg was very nice. I toured their memory care. It was clean, the people were friendly and it looked like they wanted to make sure everyone was taken care of. I could not tell that they were patients, the nurses knew, but I did not know because everybody there was just so friendly. I did go to one of the rooms, and it's a good size. She took me to a room where someone has lived. It would be a nice facility for my mom to go to. When you first walk in, there's the common area. We walked down the hall where everyone would be, and I noticed it wasn't that crowded. I was curious about how many people were there, how many people were on staff. It looked like they could accommodate the people that they have. I didn't see anything that was of concern.

Cardinal Village was very homey and everybody seemed to like each other. The rooms were spacious and just average depending on which room you get. It did not smell. If I do not smell anything, then I go with it. How the staff interacts with the elderly is also what I look for. Everybody there was very nice. When we walked by and talked to them, they stopped, even though they were not on the tour with me, so I liked it. The food smelled good, but I did not get to see it. The menu looked very appealing, and they had a lot of activities.

My Mother was a resident at Cardinal Village from April 2014 until January 2020 when she finally passed from Alzheimer's. My Dad became a resident in March 2019, and, sadly, we lost him in September of this year. During our many years of association with this facility, our family was extremely pleased with the care and nurturing given to our parents. The staff at Cardinal Village are amazing people - caring, gentle, supportive, responsive and very attuned to the residents' needs. They offer many enriching activities and encourage and expose all residents to engage, even if just as a spectator. The daily activity email update which frequently included pictures of our parents was truly a blessing once they had to close to visitors because of COVID and we couldn't visit. They were very open to scheduling FaceTime visits and were prompt in responding to calls during this challenging time. The facility was always clean and cheerful and the quality of the meals was excellent. This is a very well managed facility and the longevity of many of the staff a testament to its quality. Thank you for all you did for my parents!

My Mother was a resident for 11 months. I visited at least once a week on different days / times. I found Mom well cared for. CV was the 2nd Facility Mom had lived in and was a very good value. Food was good, the staff was patient and loving. Mom returned this love. She shared a nice size room and shower with her older sister. The Nurses kept me very informed. I found the staff to be engaging by discussing Headline events, playing catch, word games, van rides, and entertained by musicians. There are plenty of places to go out to eat and a local petting Zoo Mom loved to visit. Overall High Marks.

My mother is in Cardinal Village, which is all memory care. I like that it's close to the hospital and to my house. If I addressed something, it is taken care of most of the time. I just had one incident with them where my mom's mattress protector got taken off and she had urinated in her bed, so I had to buy a new bed. She's in a semi-private room. She has her own room, but she shares a foyer and the bathroom with another resident, and they each have a door onto their own bedroom. They have a bus, and she goes out to eat sometimes with the other residents, take her to downtown, and have music and arts. They do a nice job with their amenities where they really engage with the residents, and they try to keep them busy. A majority of the staff is good. The meals and the activities are quite good.

I placed mom in Cardinal Village. They were good, but they require one-on-one private care if the person is an extreme fall risk. If you cannot afford that you'll be asked to go to another facility.
