About This Community

Cascades of Tucson is a highly recommended senior lifestyle community well known throughout Tucson as the place for seniors to flourish. With affordable living and care options, Cascades balances the needs you may have today with whatever the future may bring. Whether you’re living independently, having licensed and dedicated professionals help with daily tasks, or needing the safety and comfort of memory care, we surround you with comfort, style, social opportunities, fine dining and more.

Active Living:

If you're able to manage the activities of daily living without the need of support, this program is designed to enable you to live independently. You'll enjoy all the community amenities, services, and features, as well as the ability to choose from a variety of apartment home floor plans. Manage your days as you see fit and do as much or as little as you want.

Assisted Living:

Our Assisted Living program is designed to offer the most up-to-date delivery of care focused on health, wellness, and supportive services. It includes ongoing coordination with your physician, medication management, hospice care coordination, physical and occupational therapy through home health, and much more — all delivered in a residential environment. You can rest assured that Cascades' staffing model exceeds the industry standard.

For those who need support with daily living activities, our portfolio of services is customized to you. Your needs are determined through an assessment conducted by the Health Services Director and your physician. The program is managed onsite by Registered Nurses who are assisted by LPNs and a staff of certified caregivers.

Memory Care:

Cascades Memory Care Neighborhood is a place where moments are meaningful; where respect and encouragement help people with Alzheimer's and other memory disorders make the most of each day. We've designed a safe, comfortable environment that encourages independence, affirms dignity and stimulates the mind while caring for the individual needs of each person.

Tapping into each resident's life history and experience is the cornerstone of our program. It is designed to create meaningful days of "new" experiences that are based on the resident's prior experiences. By tailoring activities that emphasize those familiar patterns and current preferences, each resident has the opportunity to move through their day with purpose. Our focus is on sensory-based activities that include exercise, art, music, gardening, current events and social gatherings.

We liked the location and the size of the apartments at Cascades of Tucson. We looked at two bedrooms, and two baths. They didn't have washers and dryers, but they have access to a washer and dryer on each floor. We saw people doing different things, having discussion groups, playing card games, and they got one of the larger gyms with equipment. The dining area was a very nice place. They gave us a couple of meals and we enjoyed that. It was great. They're going to do some remodeling so they have a little work that they're going to do. They also do outings and they take you to appointments. They have a pool, a spa, a courtyard for outdoor seating, and some shady areas as well as sunny areas.

Cascades of Tucson was clean, warm, and comfortable. The apartment was very nice. I was very pleased, and it was just what I was looking for. All of their apartments had either a patio or a balcony. The lady who toured me was very nice and very easy to talk to. I actually talked to one of the residents who had been there for 13 years, and she just loved the place, and that it was always just wonderful. I talked to other ladies as well that had been there a long time and it was just great. They offer a lot of activities. I'm 85, and so the ones that kind of interested me would be the chair exercise to work on my strength and balance, but they also have movies every day with free popcorn, two libraries where you can just sit and read, a computer room, and a game room where they offer bingo and cards. The people were all very friendly and very nice about anything we wanted to ask.

Cascades of Tucson was great. It was very cheerful and pretty inclusive. It has a nice atmosphere. The staff who gave me the tour was wonderful. Her name's Crystal, she was great. We saw an apartment, a one-bedroom. It was just beautiful and filled with a lot of light. It has a very generous space. It just had such a good independent feeling while still having safety features that my mom needs. It was a positive experience. It was really gorgeous. There's a pool and a nice dining hall, and lots of nice community spaces. The way that it's constructed is such that all the rooms have windows and balconies. It had a really beautiful feel.

We have just moved into the Cascades of Tucson. So far, it is excellent. If we need greater assistance, it is right here. One of the big pluses is that we didn't have to move to a different location. It is very centrally located. All the staff members that I have met have been more than friendly, more than accommodating, and all wanted to go out of their way to help. The apartments are not gigantic, but still quite spacious which is a plus too. The cost goes in with the rest of the facilities. It is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. We just got here and we have not been to any activities yet. Yesterday was our first day that we got off quarantine, so we were able to use the dining room. The dining room is large. I would not say food is 5 star, but it is very good., It is sufficient in quantity so that is good. The staff members are just fantastic. The facility seems to be well maintained.

We toured the Cascades of Tucson for my mother. We liked it, and we ended up signing a lease. The rooms were kind of old, and needed upgrades. They were a little on the small side, but workable. They have movies, an exercise room, a library, and a card room. It looked like they have enough activities. The dining area is really pleasant, and the food is pretty good.

Cascades of Tucson was very nice, and my friend really liked the young lady Megan. She was very knowledgeable and personable. They have something different on every floor. We saw their movie theater, which had really comfortable chairs, we walked around in their fitness area, and we also went into their library. They had two elevators, which I thought was good. The hallways are all off of the main foyer, and it was very nice. We saw an upgraded apartment that my friend really liked.

I liked Cascades of Tucson, and it was a very nice place. The staff was OK. I liked the small apartments and the fact that they have balconies or patios. The lunch was OK, and the dining area was very nice. They have lots of activities, a little gym, a swimming pool, transportation to various things, a beauty parlor, and you can get massages. The staff seemed to be pleasant, knew their jobs, and seemed to be pretty active with the people who lived there.

I visited Cascades of Tucson with my father. It's a nice property. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. We had a nice tour. We went to the main places and it seemed clean and friendly. The rooms were nice. It was just the wrong location for what my dad needed.

Cascades of Tucson had apartment-type places that were very nice. It's newer, upgraded, and not dirty.

My mom is in Cascades of Tucson. The rooms are fine -- basically apartment rooms -- but they have security and they serve 2 meals a day. They have a pool but nobody can use it except for water aerobics classes which is a big joke. It was set up for people who are wheel chair bound. The food is passable. They could cut their prices down for people with no special needs and be more flexible with meal charges for people who do not eat their 2 meals a day.

My initial impression when I visited Cascades was very positive. I felt comfortable that they provided care with kindness and respect Cascades has a good program to keep memory care residents involved and active. It was clean with spacious rooms with private bath available. The staff is well qualified and deliver care with gentleness and understanding. They made my loved one feel welcome from the minute she entered the door. That eased my anxiety and made it easier for her to settle in. I am very happy that I located Cascades and chose it for my loved one.

I visited Cascades at Tucson and I like that one. It is very nice. What I like especially with this facility is the location. It is close to a big hospital. The apartment homes that they have seemed nice. I like their nice dining room. It was very nice as well. The staff was very helpful. I was impressed with the girl who took me around and she did a very good job. The price was pretty reasonable but it was a little more than what I want to spend.
