Cascade Living Group

This facility could be great for some people, it just was not the right fit for my mom. The facility is small, so if your senior is very social and active there is not enough to do there. The bus was broken for the 6 months mom was there so they never went places. I would recommend Magnolia Grand for quiet people who do not need a lot of activity. Staff was very nice!

The staff were friendly. However his room wasn't kept clean, he wore the same clothes 3-4 days in a row. Although telling me his laundry was done, it was not. The chart said it had been washed but the full hamper told a different story. All of his electronics went missing and I had to replace two of the items. 2-3 weeks later I received a call that these things had been found. It seemed best to Find a more suitable arrangement.

As the facility would not make allowances for some dietary needs and had a fixed menu each week. I found that I could not utilize the dining facilities and was preparing my meals in my room. As a result of the Dietary problems and no allowances for not being able to utilize or consume most of the meals in the facility I would rate the Value for myself at at 2 or less. The Staff was very good. Even the administrator was nice. Had they made any allowance/accommodation for my dietary situation, I might still reside there.

The facility was well maintained. The staff was great. Upper management needs to be more engaged with residents. Food needs to be greatly improved.

The maintenance workers are working constantly to maintain the yards and are prompt to repair any problems. The kitchen staff are friendly and helpful. It would help if they had a map of all of the Cascade facilities. My cottage neighbors and inhabitants of the assisted living facility are very friendly and seem to care for one another. The food is not very good. I have noticed people leave a lot of food on their plate

1. Day shift was nice and always willing to help but night shift was mean and didn't want to ever help 2. Was actually really clean. 3. Friendly guests staff was half and half. 4. It was self sufficient independent so no care was given. 5. Admin staff was great. 6. Food wasn't that good. 7. Lots of activities. 8. Value was average when compared to others including services and friendlyness.

A couple things that stood out were - the food, she didn't like it. The staff is trying hard to make her feel welcome. We understand they are short on help.

Food is poor and very slow in getting it to you. Head nurse does not follow thru on things, and does not communicate well.

They can improve on the food they serve. They can improve on training and how to handle soiled clothing properly. They can improve on making it less of a hassle to set up a toilet area so it's easier for the resident to use and not soil his clothes every time because of the set up they have right now. I like that we get the door code :) I like how nice it is in there and the heated pool has been a plus for my grandpa when we can get him in it . Most staff are friendly, they could be more helpful with getting residents out of chairs especially the ones who already have a hard time standing up on their own especially in more difficult chairs (dining room chairs)

Very expensive.. care givers are great ... weekend staff is very inconsistent and lacks quality. Rooms are good size but they charge more the bigger the room. Also they charge extra for care levels, med management and everything they possibly can... my mom is only still there because moving her somewhere else will be confusing and stressful for her... I'm always looking for something less expensive with all amenities included.. it's a huge corporation that does not truly care about their clients ... they only care about making money.

Very expensive and every service is “a La carte”. Food is not great, and sometimes doesn’t get to mom’s room at all. Facility needs updating, paint, gutter repairs, etc. We’ve had issues with med changes that Hospice has ordered; issues with caregivers not removing soiled linens, laundry that is marked not coming back, silverware missing; nobody comes back to turn off nebulizer at times. Common excuses for issues is “it’s the weekend, and we’re short staffed”. Nothing that I want to hear for the thousands we are paying each month!

Mom is having a very hard time adjusting to her move to memory care. I feel the facility could make several very simple changes to make her more comfortable. Most of the staff are kind and well intentioned but lack experience. I wonder about the effectiveness of the scheduling. Seems it would be better to be as consistent as possible with who & at what time of day residents see staff. But, the rotation of staff from area to area and shift to shift is significant. I’m sure it is common in memory care but I am very frustrated by how many things have been lost. On the positive side, the facility and grounds are very nice. I think the apartment style is better for her than cottage style.

At this time I can only base my review on the tour, for that is all I have had experience with. The facility looked clean, inviting, and cheery. I was very pleased at how hard the staff worked to get my loved one a private room. The rooms look spacious. It seemed they have lots of inhouse and courtyard freedom to walk around on their own accord. Staff and several of the residence we met or saw in passing seemed very kind and welcoming. I was pleased to see their safety protocol for both residence and staff. My heart and mind feel at ease knowing this will my loved ones new home.

All of the staff but 2 I have had interaction with have been so caring . Honestly care for the residents when you approach them. What I have noticed is low staff. This really is not ok for the residents. Canceled activities because of this . And activities like movie night. Well it was cartoons and obnoxious at that . no organization . And the pie social . Second hand info . No pie no tea or coffee but a cooking show on the big TV. Smh . Residents are paying [fee removed]a month they could at least buy some fruit pies .. I have not yet visited during the week but have heard showers are 2 days a week. Honestly our friends apperceive is not what he would want. No personal care from the staff . He is just a person with dementia wandering the halls. Maybe he has to pay more for thoses services.? In My opinion If at all possible have your loved one stay at home and Pay for care providers . Quality of minutes and moments matter so much to souls waiting to die and happen to have dementia .

For the most part they took care of him but always a little leery about the fact that we couldn't just go in as if he wasn't dressed or they didn't know where he was at when we came to visit. I distinctively felt they had to prep him for us most of the time. The front office staff were always very upbeat and helpful. The facility usually seem to be neat and clean as best they could with elderly living inside. Again the staff in general is very kind and understanding however they seem to be overworked and not enough to be taken care of the amount of people in the facility. They did everything they were supposed to do but it seems rather odd the amount of times he ended up going to the hospital in the ER for odd things. Items put away for ease, like photographs so they wouldn't have to dust them, expensive shoes missing slippers stolen things like that as well. No impression either way he seemed to like the food it okay and didn't complain. I think they had some crafts every once in awhile but not really a whole lot going on. For the amount of care given and the space allocated with a shared room we paid $[removed] which I felt was a bit high. Don't put anything of value there; every item must be labeled and a photograph taken would be good.

Inconsistencies mostly due to understaffing. Mom seems to like the employees, no complaints. She mentioned lots of turnover with activities director position. My experience with the staff has been very positive. If they can add a "drive" once a week when the weather allows, I think they would appreciate it. A different view from what they get daily would help their mental state.

Good place overall, food quality has declined in the last year. Good staff, food is decent but not spectacular, would recommend in general.

I have been here for a year and have not had my windows washed at all after many requests. We were snowed in for a week this winter and there was no plan as to how to deliver food to the cottages. Thankfully, a policy has been put in place now. We never have been reimbursed for the 3 meals a day that were paid for. The staff is great, friendly, and helpful. The director, however, always has an excuse and doesn't follow through. This facility has mostly assisted living people and the independent have to fight to be included. I think if I needed more care this place would be okay, but would not be my first choice. I'm moving to a different facility next month.

I would NOT recommend the memory care facility. They dud not take adequate care of my step dad and needed to move him out. The regular staff was kind to my mom, but I couldn't keep her there after how they treated my step dad. Too many people sitting slumped over in the front lobby with nothing to do. The facility is kind of dreary. The meals were usually okay, except my mom and a few others got food poisoning after eating a chicken dish.

Based on the experience we have had so far, the staff members that work at Regency Park community have been super helpful, however the halls smell of urine so that area could use some improvements.
