My father in law was living independently with parkinsons for many years. In the last year he was declining rapidly and was finally open to the realization that he needed more support. He did not want to go to a place like the cardinal and was determined to stay where he was. We are grateful to the staff at the cardinal that assisted us in navigating the waiting list, allowing careful thought out ways to have him visit the place, to approach it more like another apartment vs joining a social community (which he wanted nothing to do with). Long story short, we are SOOOOO thankful that now, one month into his living in assisted living at the cardinal, he is pleasantly surprised at his comfort and ease of living. He has support throughout the day, meals are brought to him, he has help constantly available. HE DOESN'T HATE IT!!!! Dare I say, He seems to like it. (It's been a game changer that his meds are given to him exactly when he needs them) He seems brighter, more pleasant, and complains so much less than he used to. The staff are so kind and friendly to us whenever I ask questions or need better understanding. The food is great, the valet parking makes visiting so easy, and I cannot wait for spring to enjoy the courtyards as my father in law wheel chair races with my 4 year old on her scooter.
