Cardinal Village in Statesville offers Independent Living, with on-site medical oversight geared toward common chronic conditions. Licensed professionals coordinate wound care, manage oxygen use, and monitor residents who follow physician-ordered special diets. Team members also track blood sugar levels and medication schedules for diabetics who rely on oral medications. The community is not set up to provide memory support, so families seeking dementia care will need to look elsewhere.
Daily support focuses on helping residents remain as self-sufficient as possible. An Activity Director plans structured programs, while a fenced rear area and personal emergency response system connect residents to staff when needed. Assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, but only at a self-care level—caregivers provide standby guidance rather than hands-on aid. Mobility support includes supervised transfers, walker assistance, and wheelchair help, allowing residents to move safely around the property.
Living quarters are designed for privacy and personal control. Floor plans may feature private bathrooms, in-unit laundry, independent temperature controls, cable hookups, and even a kitchenette, although not every apartment includes every option. Residents can paint or decorate their rooms to match personal taste, and routine housekeeping is provided to keep spaces in order.
Meals follow a set menu prepared by the culinary team, with accommodations for special diets already coordinated through clinical staff. Diners can eat in the main restaurant-style venue, request in-room service, or reserve a private dining room for guests. Independent Living residents can enroll in a monthly meal plan that matches their lifestyle and have housekeeping included in their service package.
Amenities extend beyond health and dining. The campus offers resident parking, an outdoor smoking area, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, and concierge assistance. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach appointments and local shops. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
