Overview of Cardinal Landing Memory Care

Cardinal Landing Memory Care is a 31-bed community at 1310 Campbell Lane in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Managed by Triple Crown Senior Living under Kentucky license number 101425, the facility serves Warren County and maintains an active license status through June 30, 2026.

As a licensed dementia care community rather than a Medicare-certified nursing home, Cardinal Landing operates under a state regulatory framework and does not carry a CMS star rating. Licensure and inspections are overseen by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services; based on current focused filings, the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. The facility provides 24-hour staffing, including Certified Dementia Practitioners, to support residents living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of cognitive impairment.

The campus is a dedicated memory care and respite care provider, offering an all-inclusive rate structure that covers increasing levels of care without additional fees. Trained staff provide 24/7 assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, and mobility, within a secured environment designed for safety and dignity. The specialized programming includes intergenerational activities, cognitive exercises, and one-on-one engagement to maximize each resident’s daily potential. Additionally, the community coordinates on-site rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy.

Residents live in private studio apartments featuring senior-friendly layouts, central fireplaces, and individual climate controls. The community features a secure physical environment with indoor walking paths and beautifully landscaped, secured outdoor gardens that allow for safe, fresh-air socialization. Common areas include an activity kitchen for therapeutic tasks, a media room, and a fitness center where residents participate in chair yoga and strength training. All-inclusive services cover three restaurant-style meals daily prepared by a professional chef, housekeeping, laundry, and scheduled transportation for community outings.

Those seeking a dedicated, professionally managed environment for a loved one with cognitive challenges may find this specialized setting appropriate. Individuals evaluating the facility should contact the administration directly to discuss current pricing, which typically starts at approximately $2,725 per month, and schedule a tour to observe the memory care activity programming firsthand.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Kentucky

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Kentucky?

Assisted living in Kentucky supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Kentucky Medicaid cover memory care?

Kentucky Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Kentucky) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.
