Cardinal Senior Living at Danville sits on five peaceful acres in a quiet residential neighborhood near downtown, where the staff greets residents with cheerful smiles every day, and there's always a sense of community in the common areas, with places to sit by the piano or warm up by the fireplace, and there's a cozy bar area where neighbors can gather. The community offers both assisted living and a memory care program, and it's part of Enlivant, a company that's known for senior living solutions, so you'll find a caring team that's trained to provide support with things like medication, bathing, dressing, grooming, and walking, but they always try to respect everyone's independence and privacy. The care team is led by the Nursing Director, a licensed nurse, and there's a full-time nurse for 24-hour care and emergencies, and a nurse on staff to help with care planning, and the staff use a Customized Service Care Plan, which means you only pay for the help you need. Cardinal offers assistance with daily living activities, including meal preparation, regular medication reminders, and care services like health monitoring, and they also have therapy services onsite, like speech, physical, and occupational therapy, through Powerback Rehab.
The environment feels homelike, and the apartments come in a range of options-private suites, studios, one-bedroom units, and semi-private suites with private baths-so there's room for preferences and different price points, like semi-private suites starting at $2,300 per month. Each apartment has its own emergency call system, heating, air conditioning, window treatments, and you'll find features like closets and storage, carpeting or hardwood flooring, and even kitchenettes in some units for that extra bit of independence. Residents can bring their own things to make it feel like home, and pets are welcome. Community areas, like Bright Leaf Place and several lounges, offer spots for people to relax, visit, or join group activities, and the dining rooms serve up three home-style meals every day in a restaurant-style setting, with snacks and hydration always available.
There's a focus on connection, with daily social, cultural, and recreational activities on the full community calendar, plus outings, clubs, and seasonal celebrations. The memory care wing features secured neighborhoods, structured routines to reduce confusion, specialized dementia programming, and 24/7 support from dementia-trained staff. Life stations, music, art, storytelling, and sensory activities keep residents engaged. The staff understands how hard Alzheimer's and dementia can be, so they offer life enrichment programs that help people stay involved and connected.
Both shared and private rooms are available, with community lounges, dining rooms, and easy access to outdoor spaces, walking paths, and patios for fresh air and social time. There's a full-service salon and barber shop, along with scheduled transportation for shopping trips, appointments, and outings, plus religious services onsite. Cardinal Senior Living at Danville also offers weekly housekeeping, laundry, and unit maintenance, emergency response systems throughout the building, controlled entry for safety, parking, Wi-Fi, cable TV in common areas, and a gym for wellness programs and therapy sessions.

Cardinal Senior Living at Danville is a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), so it offers a broad range of care from independent living to assisted living and memory care, making it easier for folks to age in place as their needs change, and there's always someone looking out for each resident. The team keeps families in the loop with ongoing communication, so loved ones know how things are going, and veterans can use VA Aid and Attendance benefits to help cover costs. The building and grounds offer a peaceful backdrop, and the staff strives to make every day comfortable, safe, and as independent as possible for everyone who lives there.
