Cardinal Landing Memory Care

Cardinal Landing Memory Care sits at 1310 Campbell Lane in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and serves seniors who need memory care in a secure and comfortable place, and it's got a section in its own building set up to keep people safe, especially those prone to wandering or showing difficult behaviors, because the staff uses things like alarm bracelets and secured doors to help prevent anyone from getting lost or hurt, and there's always someone on duty, day and night, whether folks need reminders about bathing, grooming, or even just getting to activities and meals. The community uses the "Best Friends" care approach, so staff try to get to know residents personally, offering support and friendship as they help with memory loss and daily routines. Studio apartments come fully furnished, with emergency call systems, plus private baths and wheelchair-accessible showers for safety and comfort, and the building itself has both indoor and outdoor common areas, including secured gardens. Meals get served restaurant-style by a professional chef, and people can get vegetarian options, low sodium, or low sugar meals if they need them-there's even nutrition support for those who could use a hand with healthy choices, and they do family-style dining which some folks enjoy. There's a nurse on staff and team members who can do things like insulin shots and blood sugar checks, and while the facility can help with bowel and bladder care if people can manage most things themselves, sliding scale insulin isn't something they do. The place even allows for some outdoor smoking, and pets are welcome through special programs. You'll find a lot of activities every week-chair yoga, stretching, gardening, musical events, trivia, art, trips, and cooking classes, even special programs for folks who have Alzheimer's or other dementias, with things like Jeopardy, puzzles, outings, and intergenerational visits with kids, all aimed at keeping everyone active and engaged, including devotional services and lectures for mind and spirit. If respite or hospice care becomes necessary, Cardinal Landing offers short-term stays or end-of-life support, always with attention to dignity and personal needs. The whole community is designed so people can age in place as care needs grow, with assistance for one-person or two-person transfers, even using mechanical lifts if needed, and all throughout, the staff focus on compassion, safety, and a feeling of home under Executive Director Theresa McFarlin. Cardinal Landing is part of Chandler Park Assisted Living & Cardinal Landing Memory Care, and while the place aims for a warm and welcoming space that gives seniors comfort, structure, and peace of mind, everyone works to treat each resident with respect and help them stay as independent as possible, guided by routines, care, and community.
