Cardinal Senior Living at Roanoke offers several types of care including assisted living, independent living, memory care, adult day care, nursing and rehab, and home health care, so you can find the right level of support whether you need a little help or round-the-clock nursing care, and they've got a Nursing Director who's a licensed nurse overseeing everybody's health needs. Folks there live in different kinds of rooms, like studio or one-bedroom apartments, companion suites, or private handicap-accessible suites, and most of these come with private bathrooms, walk-in showers, lots of closet space, safety features like illuminated entryways, and controls for heating and air conditioning. The apartments are designed so people can live comfortably and still be close to the main areas, dining, and activities, and the whole place is set up with safety in mind, including sprinklers and smoke detectors everywhere.
Everyone gets some help as needed with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, medication management, housekeeping, and laundry, plus staff coordinate care and make personalized care plans for each person, and nurses and aides are around 24 hours a day. There's emergency call systems in all rooms, and residents can get help right away if they need it. People eat three home-cooked meals every day served restaurant-style, with snacks available, and the community offers weekly housekeeping and laundry so folks have more time to join in on the daily activities, whether that means taking scheduled transportation for a shopping trip, going out to eat, or enjoying one of the many social and recreational options right on site. Activities are organized every day with everything from games, outings, and wellness programs in the gym, to beauty and barber services, and even an activities director who keeps things lively and social for everyone, including folks with memory issues, because the memory care area is designed to help reduce confusion and keep residents calm and comfortable.
