Cascades of Grass Valley

My Grandmother moved into Cascades about a year and a half ago. She is 93 years old and while physically still extremely healthy her memory necessitated her moving from living alone in her home nearby to the Cascades. We unfortunately have no other family in California to help with her care. The building is quite attractive from the outside, upon entering the lobby the quality of the facility continues. Frequently several residents congregating there and there is always a welcoming staff member at the front desk. Every meal I've had there has been good restaurant quality. Her apartment is fairly spacious and private with living/eating areas, kitchenette, good size bathroom and ample closet space. I have developed excellent relationships with the director and some of the nursing staff. My grandmother has a bit of a challenge for the facility but I cannot compliment them enough for bending over backward to ease her transition into the facility and deal with some of her emotional stresses of learning to live with the move. The access to and open communication between me and the staff at Cascades has been so helpful for me, my grandmother and the facility as a whole to ensure her comfort and happiness. Thankyou to the staff members there that have been so helpful, You know who you are and please forward my gratitude to everyone! Your loved one will be well care for and respected at Cascades of Grass Valley

The process of supporting a loved one through the aging process in general, and cognitive decline in particular, is incredibly challenging both emotionally and pragmatically. Finding an assisted living facility whose staff cares about your loved one and provides support, guidance and respect is both rare and critical. Our experience of Cascades of Grass Valley has been amazing! The staff and facility are top notch, and our mother has received amazing care. Cascades of Grass Valley is the second facility that our mother has lived in. As opposed to the first, Cascades offers her increased freedom and meets her where she is. At some point she will need memory care, but until that time, we value her ability to experience as much independence as possible. At Cascades, my mother appears more settled and engaged than she has in years. In fact, recently she said that these are the “best days” of her life. She can access group activities, while also creating a new structure for her days that allow for alone time and ample social interaction. We are deeply grateful for Cascades of Grass Valley. Thank you from the bottom of our heart.

I wanted to write a review for Angela because she was so helpful and honest when we were thinking about moving my Mother in law from another local assisted living facility. I liked the smaller environment and more personal experience at Cascades compared to the larger place where mom was currently living. Mom had dementia and Parkinsons and was requiring more and more care. Things were changing rapidly and Mom had a lot of anxiety. Angela was so kind and told me that a move could actually cause more confusion and anxiety for our Mom, and it might be best to stay where we were at. Mom was declining rapidly and she passed a few months later. I wish we would have come to cascades first. I appreciate the honesty and the best interest of my mother in law versus profit for the facility. Bravo to Angela for her kindness, honesty, and integrity. Cascades is lucky to have you.. I always recommend anyone to give Cascades a call for a tour and ask for Angela.

We searched and visited multiple assisted facilities for our father when we came across Cascades of Grass Valley. The staff was very helpful and very informative. They have helped us during this stage of our father's journey and strongly feel we made the best decision for him. The staff actually cares and we can feel that. We were unsure what to expect and they have made this transition easier for our family. He is safe and well taken care of.
