The nurses and CNAs at Shaw Mountain took great care of our mother for the close to 2 months she was there. Everyone was attentive to both hers and our needs. Nicole and Anna were perfect at keeping us posted about the care she was getting and any changes to Mom's health. The rebah staff, specifically Kerri, were awesome. The level of compassion for Mom and family once she entered hospice was amazing. Great job Shaw Mountain!

I'm so grateful to all the staff of Shaw Mountain of Cascadia. From the front office to the nurses and care givers for all the loving care and attention they provided my 105 year old mother. She resided there for almost 3 years until she passed, and she received love, respect, and the care a family member would give a loved one. The facility and care was so wonderful that we left her there when we had to move out of state. We searched many places in the state we moved to so we could transfer her, but we were vey disappointed and sad to find out how bad people are cared for in other facilities. This facility and staff will forever be in my prayers, and I will forever be grateful to them!! Job well done God bless Shaw Mountain of Cascadia
