Cascades of the Sierra

I've been meaning to write this 5-star review for a long time! A few years ago, I moved my parents into Cascades of the Sierra. My dad moved into Memory Care, and my mom into Independent Living. The transition happened very quickly because my dad suddenly needed a higher level of care, and Amber was incredible throughout the entire process. She helped us navigate a very stressful situation with kindness, compassion, and professionalism, making sure my parents were settled and cared for from day one. During the short time my dad was in Memory Care before he passed away from Alzheimer's, the care he received was exceptional. Alzheimer's is a heartbreaking disease, but the staff treated my dad with dignity, patience, and genuine compassion. They also supported my mom and me through an incredibly difficult time. We spent many hours there during his final weeks, and the staff truly made us feel like family. My mom continues to thrive in Independent Living. She has a wonderful group of friends, enjoys the activities and outings (live music in the bar to shopping trips and restaurant excursions) and consistently tells me how kind the staff are. Knowing she is happy gives me tremendous peace of mind. If you are looking for a senior living option, I highly recommend you take a look at Cascades.

As a professional partner who has worked with Cascades of the Sierra, I’ve consistently been impressed by the quality of their care and the professionalism of their team. Their staff is responsive, collaborative, and truly committed to creating a supportive and dignified environment for residents. Communication with staff has always been clear and timely, and it’s evident that resident well‑being is their top priority. From a partner standpoint, Cascades of the Sierra is organized, proactive, and a pleasure to work with. They set a high standard for assisted living in the community, and I would confidently recommend them to families and professionals alike.

I can’t say enough about how WONDERFUL the entire staff is at The Cascades of the Sierra. From our first look to the move in and beyond the place is bustling with smiles, positive people, and a can do attitude. Amber L., Chris G., Marie H., Nurse Diane and the list goes on and on get an A+++. Well done, don’t change a single thing.

I have found the staff to be kind and caring and they work hard to keep the residents safe and help in ways that are needed. They are warm and welcoming to family as well as residents. There are activities to help keep residents engaged and socializing. Some amenities like hairdressing and manicure/pedicure seem to have not been maintained. The only slight criticism I have heard is the food is often over or under cooked or isn't what actually was put on the daily menu. Overall my father and the other residents seem to be happy at Cascades.
