Cardinal Cottage

Cardinal Cottage is a small board and care home licensed by the state, found in a quiet residential neighborhood, where staff support up to six residents who need different levels of help as they age, whether it's independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, or memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's. The senior community has semi-private, one-bedroom units that come fully furnished, so residents have a comfortable place that feels homelike, and each room has telephone and TV amenities for easy communication and entertainment. Staff provides 24-hour supervision and help with daily routines like bathing, dressing, medications, and moving around, and Cardinal Cottage's nursing team also manages wound care, rehabilitation, and complex medical needs after surgeries or illness. The facility has personal care plans that adjust to what each senior needs, and the staff coordinates with healthcare providers to make sure those needs are met while offering meal preparation with diets fit for allergies or diabetes, plus transportation and move-in help, so families have some peace of mind. The community keeps things tidy with housekeeping and laundry plus schedules daily activities, runs movie nights in the cozy dining room, sets up community-sponsored social events, and encourages seniors to use the community room, gardens, and walking paths for fresh air and exercise. Cardinal Cottage belongs to a larger group of continuing care retirement communities (CCRC), which means residents can stay and get more assistance if their health changes, supporting aging in place while offering board and care with a secure environment for those with memory loss, memory-enhancing programs, and 24-hour support. Residents get a safe, supervised atmosphere with common areas and amenities, regular meals, and personal attention in a warm setting where comfort, support, and engagement matter most, and families get a chance to be involved with care and stay updated on their loved ones.
