This community has unfortunately declined significantly since the change in ownership. The property grounds are poorly maintained, and the overall landscaping and exterior appearance no longer reflect the quality it once had. More importantly, there is a noticeable lack of care and attention to residents in the memory care unit. That area is consistently dimly lit and feels neglected. At the time of this review, there is no Resident Care Director overseeing the memory care unit—only a med-tech, who is kind and doing their best, but clearly not meant to shoulder that level of responsibility alone. I have serious concerns about the quality of care my loved one is receiving. In my experience, raising a complaint to the executive director has not resulted in meaningful improvements—instead, it seems to lead to increased care costs without a corresponding increase in service. That’s both frustrating and disheartening. All I want is for my loved one to receive the care that is promised and paid for. For the current pricing, the level of care and attention—especially for the most vulnerable residents—is unacceptable. I hesitated to write this review, hoping things would get better, but there has been no noticeable improvement. I’m actively looking to relocate my loved one to a more supportive and well-managed facility. I sincerely hope this feedback leads to positive changes for the sake of the residents who rely so heavily on this community.

I moved a client into this community. The family and I did a tremendous amount of research before deciding on The Retreat at Cascade. Stacey did a great job accommodating the family and alleviating their concerns.
