Cardinals Cottage Reviews

Karen Kralovic
After my dad had an accident and had to have some surgery done, my mother who has dementia needed a place to stay immediately. After looking around on the Internet, we found Cardinal Cottage’s and called them, That very night they arranged a wheelchair van to take mom down to their home. They were so calming and loving to mom, The meals that were made looked so good, And mom would eat every bit. They would talk to mom every day and cared for her so well. She lived there about a year before she passed recently. When we stopped by there today to bring them some flowers there were tears and hugs and they told us that because mom was their mom too, we were their sisters - cue more tearsIf you need a home for your loved one, please contact them and plan a visit to see the home and to see the wonderful loving women who took such good care of mom. Compared to other places in the area, this one was definitely a winner And I thank God every day that we were able to find such a family style home for mom.
