About This Community

We are excited to welcome you to Cardinal Senior Living, Bedford's premier provider of assisted living and memory care services (Dementia / Alzheimer's). Cardinal Senior Living opened in January 2017, but our traditions and memories go back long before. Formally known as Campbell's Rest Home, this property began serving the greater Bedford area over 40 years ago. Many of the prior company's residents and staff still call this home. Our mission is to enrich the lives of those we serve by promoting the highest quality of life and providing our customers with respect, dignity and love. Our unique building layout and strong staffing ratios allow us to stay in close proximity to each individual resident and affords us the opportunity to provide superior care and oversight. We are currently in the process of updating and renovating our property. These renovations include new furniture, flooring, lighting, painting, decorating- all while maintaining a sense of familiarity for those who have called this home for many years now. In addition a newly added Arial nurse call system provides our residents instant communication with staff when they need support while being independent at all other times. Access to Staff Representatives - Cardinals unique facility layout places our residents in close proximity to our staff members throughout their day; promoting frequent contact throughout their day. Dedicated Trained Staff Members - Our team cares. Some of our staff members have served this community for over 20 years- understanding what it means to be entrusted with such responsibility- we invest ourselves in each resident well-being; training ourselves so that we can provide essential functions necessary for service. Activities - Cardinal believes that being active is a vital element for quality life- committed to providing an active program that will promote social engagement among residents on a monthly basis which includes many options so that individual interests are considered as well as ongoing development. Onsite Involved Ownership - The owners live within 20 miles radius from site; ownership is involved onsite every day which means you have direct access at any time if needed or desired. Licensed Nurse Oversight - You can take comfort knowing that Cardinal has licensed nursing oversight from its Nursing Director who has hands on involvement from beginning until end; dedicated commitment towards excellent care provided within this community. Customer Service – Dedicated customer service made possible because we take pride in recognizing no request is too small or unimportant; every request gets proper attention it deserves.

We've placed my wife in Cardinal Senior Living. We've only been there two weeks now. My impression is that they're doing better than where we were, but they don't have very many patients there. It's a smaller outfit. It's a little more assisted living and then some. They give her more help in some things. They're a little more flexible than some of the larger ones. The facility is very good, nice and clean. Everything looks good. It's an older one, but they seem to have everything. They seem to be in charge and doing a good job with it. The staff and the services are very good. They are more attentive. You push your button and they're going to be there unlike the last place where she was, you push your button and you may or may not get anybody. I didn't eat there, but the food looked very good and my wife seems to like it. Most of the people there are eating and most of them eat a lot. She's still getting used to the place and she's in a wheelchair most all the time and hadn't been able to do some of the stuff that they were doing. The staff members are very competent and the good thing about it is we got a nurse that stays with her all the time. I don't have a change of nurses like some of the others we experienced. I don't know exactly what all they're doing, but it seems that everybody's enjoying themselves and they've got some rooms where they're playing cards and they've got some rooms where they're just relaxing. I was pleased with it.

We took a tour at Cardinal Senior Living and we couldn't afford them because they had a lot of extra fees. It was a very nice tour though. They all seemed very close, they knew the patients by name. The facility was nice, but it was really kind of small. The rooms were small and there was only room for a bed and a dresser. It was a community bathroom for everybody so you didn't have your own bathroom. Everything else was nice. The people were all very friendly. The residents were all happy and everything else seemed nice. I was looking for assisted living during my tour. The rooms were just really small, it's just room for a bed and a dresser and maybe a small closet. They had single rooms with one bed and then they had double rooms with two but there wasn't room for anything but the very basic. They didn't have room for a recliner or something for them to sit in like that. Some of them were having meals when I got there. It was basically just an open room with multiple tables that sat up to four people for them to have lunch or dinner or whatever together. They said they set up different activities for them. They charge extra for everything. Extra for laundry, extra for cable, and extra for a telephone.

Everything about my tour at Cardinal Senior Living was great. The rooms were clean and nice, they're just regular-sized rooms. The staff who gave me the tour was excellent. I've observed that the residents all look happy, everybody looks happy. We visited at lunch time so they weren't doing any activities. They also have a place for people to read.

Cardinal Senior Living was very nice. I met with the director for over an hour, I got to look at everything, and I was very impressed. I got to meet a couple of the nursing staff, and they were all very helpful and very kind. The rooms were bright, and I really liked that everybody had their doors open and people were meeting out in the hallway. I thought that was nice. They had enclosed porch which people used, the eating area was fine, and they had an area for people having more difficulties. That was separate from the other place, they had 2 staff members there all the time, and that was nice as well.

Cardinal Senior Living is small and they seem to show a lot of personal attention. It's clean, comfortable, and it's good overall. They take the residents out on occasional outings, they went out for ice cream yesterday, and folks come in to play games and do crafts with them. They do lots of stuff with them on a regular basis. The value is really good as well. It seems to be a really good community. They eat family style, and it's good for them.

This community is one of the cleanest I have seen. The staff are friendly and the administrative staff are very professional and welcoming. Everyone we visit activities are going on and the resident are so happy !! What an experience.

I toured Cardinal and I did not care for it. I think they had to do so much work to upgrade the place, and they've made a lot of improvements over the recent years, but it's just not everything I've hoped for for my step-dad. The administrator and owner who gave us theaq tour was excellent. The dining area needs upgrading. The tables are just like kitchen tables. They really didn't have much and they're weak on amenities.

I found Cardinal Senior Living to be an excellent facility. The staff seemed to be very caring. I had no issues with them at all. They were quite above board. They showed me examples of each of the facilities that were available. The staff member that I encountered was very professional and caring with the residents that I saw. The facility was clean and attractive.

I visited Cardinal Senior. Except for one resident, they were very friendly, but it's just not what I was looking for because I didn't want a roommate. The person who assisted me answered my questions, he was very helpful, and informative.
