Cascades is such a wonderful place for your loved ones. The staff has taken such great care of my mom, I can’t even put into words how much it means to my family and I. The staff is so kind, warm, nurturing and accommodating. The director, Haley and staff helped us navigate every step including dealing with a difficult family member of ours. Thank you so much to all of the staff.

I can’t say enough great things about Cascades! Every time I visit, I’m immediately struck by how clean and welcoming the entire facility is—it truly feels like a place where people are cared for with intention. One of my favorite things to see is the residents gathered in the lobby, laughing and enjoying each other’s company. It speaks volumes about the sense of community they’ve built there. Their dining hall is absolutely beautiful as well—warm, inviting, and a space where residents can really enjoy their meals together. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into creating an environment that feels both comfortable and elevated. Haley, the Executive Director, is incredible. She is always on top of every resident’s care and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is supported. On top of that, she’s genuinely kind and approachable, which makes a huge difference for both residents and partners. Angela is equally amazing. She handles all new residents with such care and compassion, making sure they never feel like just a “sale,” but truly part of the community from day one. She even brings her service dog to work, which adds an extra layer of comfort and support for residents—it’s such a thoughtful touch. Angela also does an outstanding job networking in the community and building meaningful relationships, all while being incredibly sweet and personable. Cascades also does a fantastic job collaborating with community partners like Comfort Keepers to ensure residents can receive 1:1 support when needed. That level of teamwork really enhances the quality of care. I’m so thankful for our relationship with Cascades and the trust we’ve built together. It’s clear they are deeply committed to their residents and their families. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My father had Parkinson’s and my mother Alzheimer’s. They had been married for 54 years and led a full and beautiful life together. We found Cascades of Grass Valley after a challenging few years for all of us – with their declining health and loss of decision-making capacity and our seemingly endless struggle to find the right place to call their home. We moved them multiple times in both Washington State and California – seeking the place where they could be happy, feel like themselves and be in good hands, but failing each time. We finally settled at Cascades of Grass Valley. From day one, we knew that we had finally found the right place. It brings me to tears now to think of how immediately I felt taken care of by Haley and her team. Of course, it took weeks (maybe months) for my parents to trust that their new home was a safe place and the right place for them. As all the care staff at Cascades will remember, they struggled deeply with accepting help. My mom still thought it was her “job” to take care of my dad – and that she could take care of him. And my dad didn’t want to accept help from anyone else. Over time and with unbelievable patience from the care staff, not only did they both begin to accept the care for my dad. My mom began to accept and even desire care for herself. They actually trusted their care providers and formed beautiful relationships with them. I visited them almost daily and was always blown away to see the care and connection they experienced. I came to love the care and activities staff and looked forward to seeing all of them as much as my parents. In the week when they were both nearing the end of their lives, I slept the nights in their room. During those nights, I found that they also had great experiences and connection with care staff that I had not even met. In the past few years, given the stress of their many moves and the decline of their health, I rarely saw my parents at peace. But in the last months of their lives, my parents found peace. I feel like that peace was brought by the incredible love and care that they were receiving at Cascades. They both passed peacefully surrounded by people with big, beautiful hearts. And we, as their children, were held with so much love in those days. I am forever grateful.

Cascades of Grass Valley was truly a blessing for our family. From day one, the staff was incredibly flexible and willing to work with us through every twist and turn of my mom’s care needs. They went above and beyond to keep her engaged, active, and busy with daily activities, always encouraging her independence and giving her as much freedom as possible while still keeping her safe. What really stood out was how the staff became an extension of our family. Their kindness, patience, and consistency gave us real peace of mind. Even after my mom’s stay, we still stop by just to say hello — that’s how meaningful the relationships became. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a caring, supportive, and genuinely compassionate community.

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
