Care Cardinal – Macatawa offers both Assisted Living and Residential Care Home options, giving residents a choice between more traditional assisted-living support and a smaller, homelike setting. Staff members are available around the clock, assisting with activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, mobility and medication reminders while encouraging each resident to maintain as much independence as possible.
The community’s clinical support is extensive for its size. Nurses coordinate diabetes management, incontinence care, medication administration and regular wellness checks. A physician visits the property, and specialists in speech, occupational and physical therapy provide on-site sessions. Residents who need ambulatory assistance, memory care oversight, podiatry, optometry, dental care or hospice services can receive those services without leaving the building. Short-term respite stays are accepted, allowing families to arrange temporary coverage with the same level of medical oversight.
Accommodations range from private suites to companion rooms. Depending on the specific unit, residents may have access to high-speed Wi-Fi, individually controlled air conditioning, dedicated parking and direct access to outdoor areas for fresh air breaks. Because floor plans vary, not every room includes every feature, so it is recommended that families verify specific details during a tour.
Dining is structured around three chef-prepared meals each day, served restaurant-style with attention to nutritional needs and doctor-ordered diets. Staff monitor meal consumption for residents who require assistance and coordinate with the care team to adjust menus for diabetes management, texture-modified diets or other medical requirements.
Residents have access to outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds and general outdoor areas for casual use. An activity center supports karaoke events, group games and planned social outings, offering opportunities to stay active and engaged with neighbors and the wider Holland community.
