Overview of Cardinal Senior Communities

Facebook

Cardinal Senior Communities offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Bedford, VA. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision, and respite care gives a family a short stay option when their usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Several care levels are available here. That may suit a resident whose needs change over time or a family arranging temporary care. The community has 57 beds, placing it in the smaller community range where staff and residents can get to know each other. The starting price is $2,300 per month, giving families a baseline monthly figure, although the confirmed facts do not connect that amount to a specific care level.

Residents can use the full service dining experience and full service salon on site, keeping meals and personal grooming within the community. Handicap accessible transportation is also available for residents who need accessible travel. A Walk Score of 65 is somewhat walkable, so some errands can be done on foot, and a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle certain nearby errands independently.

Hollie E. Bruffy serves as the administrator.
