Cascade Inn, for me, was a little too big. They had 188 rooms, and it almost appeared that they might be short staffed. The facility itself looked OK, but I would give it an average rating. It was a pretty complete facility. They had pretty much everything. They had a good social program, a library, and a lot of places for the residents to go and communicate or socialize. They had one really big dining room, and one average-sized dining room. They had a lot of activities and things. It was centrally located, and it was convenient to me. They did have a couple of areas that were outdoors. They said they do outdoor barbecues. There are places outside for people to socialize in good weather, not this time of the year, but it is available. Staff-wise, I only saw two people there; the one who gave me the tour and one that evaluated my wife.

I visited a friend at Cascade Inn. It's small, quaint, and friendly. His room is adequate. There's nothing fancy. They don't have very many things, but he is 90, so he doesn't need them. They have gardens, tours, and shopping excursions.

My brother is at Cascade Inn. It's an older facility, but it's really clean. They had some nice updates; it seems like one of the better facilities that we looked at. It's a nice facility. They have some movie theater there, a theater room, and several kinds of games or recreational rooms, community gardens, and a large patio area, kind of outdoor dining like in the summer months. I didn't eat there, but looking at their menus, the food looks pretty good.

Cascade Inn seemed nice, but the room that was the most affordable for my mother would've been literally a block away from the dining area, and the bathroom was difficult to get in and out of in that particular room. The thing I was put off the most was their pricing because you don't know the pricing until they get an evaluation of the client. They're looking at the level of care that's going to be needed, and they had a point system. The staff was very nice. It's a big facility, and we walked through one common area where there were some people playing a game.

I visited Cascade Inn, and it was really nice. Outside, they had really nice walking areas, a raised garden, and the people that lived there said the food was really good and they liked the staff. I saw a studio, a smaller one, with a twin bed, and room for a smaller couch, a couple of end tables, and a kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator, and freezer. The bathrooms were big for people to have plenty of room when they take a shower, they have shower seats, and the towels were easily accessible. It was all carpeted.

Cascade Inn seemed dark and cold, and not friendly, warm, or inviting. It looked cheap and there wasn't anything pretty to look out at. You had to enter through a weird setup for the parking lot and main entrance. Things seemed to be far from one another and felt like a football field away, so it was not convenient. I didn't want to live there. The room we saw was very tiny and cold with no view or patio. It was just a place to sit all day in-between meals. We passed through a room that was more like a cafeteria than a nice dining room. It seemed cheaply put together and inexpensive as could be with the tables. I was just so unimpressed. They wanted to charge $3,900 a room for something that wasn't a luxury place. It was a very depressing place.

I now live at Cascade Inn and would highly recommend it. It is a beautiful, well-furnished place with a nice dining room and good food and staff. I have nothing but good things to say about it. I have an apartment with a nice-sized living room and a bedroom. My living room has air conditioning, electric fireplace, walk-in closet, and handicapped-accessible bathroom. The grounds are very nicely landscaped. It is within walking distance to a lot of shopping and not far from a major shopping complex and movie theater, so that you can either walk or go on a power chair up there. I have been playing bridge and pinochle, and we have scheduled outings to lunch or day trips to various stores for shopping.

Cascade Inn was nice, but the price was not what I wanted. The studio apartment was nice and good, and the food smelled good. Everybody was nice, and the community was nice and clean but non-smoking.

Cascade Inn wasn’t as clean as the other facility I visited. The floor needed to be vacuumed. They had a list of activities. It was bigger and more hospital-like.

We chose Cascade Inn because they just seemed very caring and offered more help than the others. They were also helping us file for a VA benefit, if my husband was eligible for it. It was independent, but we had the option of going to assisted, if my husband's health got worst. I chose Cascade because once you were a part of that community and ended up graduating to the assisted living, you did not have to change apartments. You could stay where you were, which was pretty huge. We were actually very excited about moving there.

We chose the Cascade Inn. They have an excellent sales representative who does the tour and fills you in on all of the things they have to offer, as well as compares everything they have to offer with other facilities. Other facilities are newer and flashier, but they cost a whole lot more and don't take Medicaid. If you go in as independent living, most of the places require you to change rooms when you transition to assistance. This place does not require that you change rooms unless you want to; you can go there and die in the same room. Other places look like five-star hotels; this place is much more like home. It's not classy nor fancy and doesn't have super high ceilings. They have wonderful menus with lots of choices. We didn't eat there, but the menu was better than other places. The staff seemed very personable. It offered everything that we were looking for in one place. It's an older facility, so the rooms are smaller than some of the other more expensive ones, but my mother's not going to care. This place offers a few exercise classes, they don't have a pool, and their theater is a lot smaller, but they do offer everything my mother is going to need.

My experience with Cascade Inn in the beginning was very good. As of right now, we do have some issues, but they're working them out. The rooms and apartments are nice. They're open, spacious, and very clean. We like the rooms very much. The food is really good too. They're very professional, very good, and very intuitive. They have group activities, they get to go on field trips, they go to the doctor, and they have group gatherings in all other places like piano forums and things like that. What they could improve on though is communication with the family members. Nevertheless, what impressed me most is how speedy and well they got us into the facility. They helped my parents got in.

Cascade Inn was well run, and the people were so friendly. We saw three different rooms with different sizes -- two studios and a one-bedroom. They were all very well equipped, and they showed what the possibilities were for furniture. They were really nice and clean. One set had a large bathroom where wheelchairs could go in to the shower. They had tons of choices for any kind of meal plan plus specials for the day, and they had diabetic menus. They had a movie theater inside which was well equipped. They had games, and there was bean bag baseball going on when we were there.

Cascade Inn is well, the prices were reasonable, and they had a lot of activities, so the people seemed to be happy there. They were pleasant, and I really didn’t have any negative things to say about them. They had rides to doctors and all that kind of stuff. I like it particularly because of where it was located, it was a walking distance to shopping areas, and they also had an extra large studio. They were the only ones that had an extra large studio apartment. They have exercise, game rooms, and party rooms. I would recommend the place.

I was very impressed with Cascade, even now they send us activity charts for the month and have invited us to come to play bingo or particular activity or taking a trip with their bus anytime and go with them. The director who was giving us the tour was very nice and friendly. I would recommend this community.

We found a place for a good friend. It is called Cascade Inn. It is a very nice place. She lived there once before with her husband, and she liked it, but he wanted to go home, so they moved out. She moved back in there because she liked it before. They take good care of her. They are very attentive to her. They have nurses there 24/7. It is a nice place. It has activities. They serve three meals a day. I recommend this place to anybody.

We chose Cascade Inn because they take Medicaid. Also, the residents don't have to move when they graduate them from independent living to assisted living. They do have activities and I have seen the monthly calendars. She has gone to a couple of things. However, I have several issues with the staff. It's their training and their procedure. Regarding cleanliness, it is very good. However, I think their rooms are not made for those with mobility issues, i.e., getting walkers through doorways and the width of the hall in the room is too small. Apparently, her aluminum walker was also unable to get through the doorway, so it puts her at risk for a fall. I have been there for meals as well. They have a four-week rotation menu. Unfortunately, they use a lot of pre-processed frozen items, so they have a lot of salt and sodium issues. They did make a change after she moved in, to include "items" that the residents can always order if they don't want what the main offering is. However, they're not very good at estimating how many of the residents are going to want "X" and how many are going to want "Y," or how many are going to come to the meals because they frequently run out of something. The Cascade Inn is more interested in looking at their process and procedures than the needs the residents they have. The quantities of food for example, have been drastically reduced. They have had no special training in dementia, which impacts a lot of residents.
