Special Programs and Services
The following special programs and services are offered in our Assisted
Living community.
Short Term Stays and Respite Care
It’s a big decision to make in moving from your home and familiar neighborhood.
Cardinal Village can help you consider a change without the permanent financial
commitment that other facilities may require. No strings attached … stay
with us for anywhere from two weeks to three months. You’ll become acquainted
with our residents and staff, and your decision may become an easier one.
Cardinal Village Assisted Living Personalized Levels of Care
At Cardinal Village, whether a resident is totally independent with no need
for additional care, or is someone who requires substantial or enhanced
care with activities of daily living, residents only pay for the care they
need. That’s why at Cardinal Village customized personal care plans are
available. Assistance can be provided for services such as:
- Activities of Daily Living
- Medication Administration and Monitoring
- Incontinence Management
Before moving in, a resident‘s initial level of care is determined through
an assessment by the nurse manager, combined with input from the resident
and family. Thereafter, a resident’s level of care may be adjusted to a
higher or lower level, or remain the same. The nurse manager is available
to the resident and family, and care planning is ongoing for the entire
time a resident lives at Cardinal Village.
Hospice Services
Cardinal Village offers hospice services through long-term contractual relationships
with preferred providers. Hospice services are based on palliative care,
symptom management, spiritual and emotional support, comfort, and compassion.
Medication, medical supplies, equipment and therapies may be included. Pain
management is especially important to the peace of mind of both the resident
and family members. The staff at Cardinal Village is at the ready to assist
and work with the needs of the resident and family while the hospice team
performs its end-of-life special services. Together, we provide the best
of care and commitment to our residents and patients.
Bereavement Counseling
Bereavement counseling is also available to our families through a monthly
support group meeting held at Cardinal Village by a member of the clergy
who specializes in this vital, spiritual work.
