I was impressed by how warm and attentive the staff were during my visit. Everyone was approachable, respectful, and willing to help. The team works hard to create a caring environment, and their professionalism and compassion really stood out to me.

My father stayed here for two weeks and was discharged because he punched a worker in the face. Mind you he has severe dementia and you can’t hold anything against him. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

Staff like Jen who care and go above and beyond to care for our community's most vulnerable population speaks volumes to an organization that values people.

If you care about your loved one DO NOT BRING THEM HERE!!<br>The staff is nice and that is all. They will not take good care of them, very untrustworthy and they will not protect your loved ones from abuse. After my mom left, she has been doing so much better. At Cascade, she would fall every month, my mom has not fell since leaving. This is an awful place for people to have to be long term.

My mother was a resident at this facility from June 2023 until she passed away on October 12, 2024. I am sharing our experience because I do not want another family to go through what we did.<br>In April 2024, my brother and I met with staff to discuss serious concerns about our mother's care and the condition of both her room and the facility. At the time, there was feces on the wall next to her bed, which we found unacceptable. We considered moving her, but because she was covered only by Medicaid, finding another facility that would accept her was extremely difficult.<br>During that meeting, staff reviewed my mother's medication list with us. We noticed that insulin and metformin were not included. When we questioned this, we were told that our mother was not diabetic, that she would show signs if she were diabetic, and that she refused to take metformin. This was deeply concerning because our mother had been diagnosed with diabetes around 2005 or 2006.<br>Years earlier, she had suffered a stroke that we believe affected her memory. Because she was no longer able to reliably manage her own medications, we placed her in assisted living and eventually memory care. We were specifically told that memory care would ensure that she received her medications properly. When she was admitted to this facility in June 2023, they had access to her medical history and information regarding the medications she had been prescribed.<br>After our meeting, we followed up again regarding her diabetic medications and were later told that she was, in fact, receiving insulin and metformin. To this day, we do not know whether she was consistently and properly medicated.<br>Our mother suffered another stroke on September 3, 2024, and passed away on October 12, 2024. We cannot say with certainty whether the care she received contributed to her decline. However, the conflicting information we were given about her medications, combined with the conditions we observed, left us with serious concerns about the quality of care provided.<br>I am sharing this experience not out of anger, but in the hope that it encourages greater accountability and prevents another family from experiencing similar concerns about the care of their loved one.

Washington asks us to share this statement and gather a short intake first

Read the statement, add what you can below (a few words each, all optional), and Send signs it with the name you entered.

Washington disclosure statement, dated October 22, 2026, under the Elder and Vulnerable Adult Referral Agency Act (RCW 18.330).

(a) Agency: MyLivingChoice LLC (MyLivingChoice.com), 8705 N. Cypress Ct, Kansas City, MO 64156, (816) 226-7772.

(b) Client: the person sending this request.

(c) Fees: you pay us nothing. If you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee computed as a percentage of your first month's rent and care charges, invoiced to the community after you move in. If you ask, we will tell you the amount of the fee for any community we refer you to.

(d) Services: MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps families find senior living. We gather a short intake about the care needed, suggest communities that appear able to meet those needs, and introduce you to the ones you choose. For you specifically, we will introduce you to Cascade Park Gardens and share with it your name, contact details and the care needs you described, nothing more.

(e) We will never ask you to waive any claim for loss of personal property or injury, or any right you have under state or federal law.

(f) We work with both you and the community in the same transaction: the community pays us, and we are introducing you to it. To obtain or share confidential health care information about the person who needs care we need your authorization, which you give for the communities named above by acknowledging this statement.

(g) Tours: we do not tour communities as a matter of course. Our information comes from the community itself, its state licence record and public sources. We have not toured Cascade Park Gardens.

(h) You may stop using our service, or switch to another referral agency, at any time and for any reason, with no penalty and no cancellation fee.

(i) Refunds: because you pay us nothing, there is nothing to refund to you. If a community pays us a fee for your placement and the resident dies, is hospitalized or moves to another setting for more appropriate care within the first thirty days after admission, we refund the community a prorated share of the fee for the days not used, as RCW 18.330.090 requires.
