The Cascades is an awesome family-run independent/assisted facility on the Eastside.My husband has Parkinson’s and early dementia and his care is so good that he said I should have moved him there months earlier.<br>Everyone on the staff of every section is caring, and bends over backwards to care for the residents living there. It’s hard to leave a spouse in the care of someone else when you are no longer able. Cascades makes it very easy and I have complete trust in them. Thank you Mr. Howard, for the facility you run and your amazing staff.

I would like to Thank Crystal for her help and time spent showing us the facility. She answered all off our questions about the Memory Care Center and what to expect. She made it an easy decision even though the decision was incredibly difficult. She was always available for questions and always got the answer for us. Great at her job and so personable. After the decision was made for Mom to move into the Memory Care we met Tamra. Her job is to facilitate the move in. It is a very complicated process and she made it a breeze. She gave us a clear path to follow to get all the things needed for the move in. With all of her help it was accomplished in 1 week. She was available anytime we had questions and met with us whenever we needed her. Don't know how we would have been able to do everything required without Tamra. Before Mom moved in we met Anna the Director of Memory Care. We knew immediately that this was the place for Mom. Her enthusiasm and dedication to her Center was obvious from the beginning. She came to the house for the initial assessment and immediately made Mom feel comfortable. After Mom moved in she gave us daily updates on her progress to adapt to her new surroundings. Seeing her making friends, talking to other residents and really feeling comfortable in her new home made it easy for us to know we made the right decision. The entire Memory Care staff has been wonderful. Anna has done a fantastic job of putting it all together. Cascades of Tucson is in good hands with staff like Crystal, Tamra and Anna. Thank you so much.

My mother lived here for the last two years of her life and the whole family was truly impressed with the quality of life, activities and care she received. Cascades is a phenomenal environment for your loved one. The entire staff is an absolute joy to interact with and they go above and beyond to accomodate the resident's and family's needs. Communication is the key to success and the staff, from the caregivers, facilities, housekeeping, med techs, assisted living and memory care are helpful, trustworthy, kind and most importantly respectful. If you're looking for a community for your mother or father, look no further. This is the best Tucson has to offer, incredible.

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Arizona asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.

We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 50 to 80 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.

By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:

1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.

2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.
