Cardinal Landing Memory Care in Bowling Green, KY is dedicated exclusively to memory-care, supporting residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Licensed nurses and trained caregivers monitor residents around the clock, manage medications, and coordinate closely with physicians. On-site diabetes care ensures blood-glucose monitoring, insulin administration, and diet oversight are handled without leaving the community. A speech therapist visits regularly to address communication or swallowing challenges that often accompany cognitive decline. Families looking for temporary support can use the community’s respite or short-term stay option, knowing the same clinical resources are available to short-stay residents.
The secured design of Cardinal Landing limits unsupervised exits and uses controlled access points to keep residents safe. Care teams create individualized service plans that are reassessed routinely as conditions change, and emergency call systems in resident areas link directly to staff for rapid response. Daily programming is structured to reduce agitation, maintain familiar routines, and engage memory through evidence-based techniques. Because all services are delivered within a single, secure setting, residents avoid the disruption of outside appointments whenever possible.
Residences at Cardinal Landing vary in layout, and not every suite includes every feature, but options may incorporate wheelchair-accessible showers, cable or satellite TV service, Wi-Fi, in-room climate control, and views of landscaped outdoor areas.
