My grandfather lives there and absolutely loves it. The level of care is unmatched. The community that they build among the residents is amazing. And the food is so so good. Amazing people, amazing service, would recommend again and again.

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.

I have been meaning to write this review for some time. This whole place is a God sent! The staff is wonderful, the accommodations are great and the food is tasty. My great aunt and uncle moved in at the beginning of May and unfortunately my uncle only got to spend a week in restful bliss before he passed. My aunt is now in the memory care wing. She was of course saddened by my uncle's passing but really loves the hospitality and kindness she receives in the new apartment. The staff is very communicative and attentive. We could not be more grateful for the hoops they went through to get her into the apartment as quickly as they did. We love that she is somewhere safe and we are so close we can visit whenever we want to. This whole process would have been harder on the whole family had she not already fallen in love with The Cascades. I highly recommend.

I live at the Cascades of Tucson and I have someone that eats with me there and said I have lived at three places and this one has to be the best one. I replied third time is a charm. This place is awesome. DS

Recently had dinner with a family member at the Cascades and the atmosphere was great! There was definitely a warm and welcoming feeling from all the residents and staff that live and work there. Felt reassuring to know that my family is in good hands.

Recently had Lunch at Cascades while visiting, and I was really blown away by both the quality of the food and the excellent service we received. Have had family in other care facilities, over the years, and I'd say hands down The Cascades food was miles ahead better than what I've had elsewhere. And just seeing the way their staff takes care of their residents. It's truly fantastic. Hats off to the crew at the Cascades, thank you for taking amazing care of your clients. Matt

We're considering Cascades for our father. He's a few years out, but the community is just what we're looking for. The residents and staff have just an electric warm welcoming. Many of them stoped to say hello and talk with our dad. They have two beautiful libraries! Which is perfect for our father who just loves books. They also have some pretty cool activities, like woodwork and whiskey, and wine tasting. Definitely an amazing place to check out! Crystal is amazing!

We are a new family to Cascades but I cannot express how warmly we have been welcomed to this community. Every single person with whom we have dealt has been kind, caring, and most importantly, genuine. These are women are who are committed to their jobs and to their clients. We moved to Cascades from another assisted living facility in Tucson and the engagement and reception we have received at Cascades is exponentially better than that we received at our last facility. Seriously, like night and day. I encourage any family who is considering assisted living for a loved one to look at Cascades. Special call outs to Tamra, Nela, and Megan. They are tops in my book!

My sister has been at Cascades since last November. It has been a wonderful experience for both of us! The environment is lovely and inviting and the apartments are spacious and well laid out for easy mobility. Her caregivers have been very kind, helpful, and responsive. It gives me much peace of mind that she is being well taken care of. The entire staff including reception, housekeeping, maintenance, dining services, health services, specific support, and managers are always very friendly and welcoming. It's obvious that they really care about the residents and their families. Their services are top notch and they are always looking for ways to make life there even better! Perhaps the best thing about Cascades are the life enrichment and activities they provide. My sister's life was very limited due to health and mobility issues. But at Cascades she goes to exercise classes, craft and watercolor classes, a variety of games, social events, and excursions to museums, live theater, restaurants, and others. She's made so many friends! She told me recently that she feels such a strong sense of community there and she's happy to be a part of it. Thank you Cascades!

90 plus elderly indvidual here, and ALBEIT I have only spent 6 months in the facility, and am ready to return to my so-called condo only because there is no place like home. I was indeed in bad shape when I first joined Cascade. And, I cannot but give great credit to Cascade for my experience , and somewhat recovery in the facility. The staff for the most part are friendly, responsive and helpful. Like all institutions of this size, and nature of business there is always room for improvement. Having said what I stated, I would certainly consider returning to Cascade, if need be. Hope that day never arrives, but ITS THE NATURE O F THE BEAST at my age. It was certainly a POSITIVE experience for me.

I cannot speak highly enough about Cascades of Tucson. My parents have been there for almost five years now so I’ve been able to observe their care over time. The management and staff are friendly, sincere, caring, approachable, and responsive. When my folks or I have a question, need, or problem, Cascades listens and responds. The day-to-day operations are well thought-out, giving as much support, consistency, and freedom as possible to the residents, while keeping them safe and well taken care of. The attention and protection given to the residents during the worst of COVId was remarkable! Rigorous, science-based rules and procedures for staff and residents were instituted and strictly maintained, reducing the spread of the virus as much as possible. Cascades’ management worked with national and state of Arizona officials/departments to make sure the residents were able to receive tests, vaccines & boosters as soon as possible. All of this was communicated to residents’ families clearly through frequent emails. Knowing my parents are in a safe, clean, and loving environment means the world to me since I live miles away. No facility is perfect but Cascades comes very close, with the management & staff making up any difference with true care and responsiveness. I’m forever grateful and HIGHLY recommend!

Cascades of Tucson is widely acknowledged by many Cascades residents as the best senior home in the city. Management is caring and concerned, but usually too heavily burdened to be able to devote the time needed to address, or even understand the residents' issues. This is especially true of the Healthcare Department. As the largest department in the facility, they also are confronted with the greatest challenges, and their delivered results frequently leave room for improvement. One example is the use of agency Caregivers. These individuals are technically qualified, having passed the state-mandated training and certifications. However, upon being assigned to Cascades for the first time, frequently on weekends, it is apparent that they have been given no training about operating withing the Cascades "system." The counter example is Maintenance. Perhaps the smallest Department in the facility, they respond quickly and effectively although having recently changed management. The Culinary Department is constantly understaffed but delivers very good and sometimes outstanding service but frequently timeliness suffers (note the comment about understaffing). All things considered, Cascades is a very satisfactory place to live.

Hello, I have just recently moved my mother to the Cascades of Tucson for Assisted living and I am beyond impressed. The staffing is amazing, there are both medication techs and caregivers focusing on the residents as a team. There are licensed LVN's 7 days a week which is not standard in this industry, so these examples of staffing truly sets the cascades apart from other facilities. Additionally the reception team answers the phone at all hours and are kind and extremely professional as well. As a recent retired RN I know what quality care looks like and the Cascades has given my family the piece of mind we need and the care my mother deserves. Keep up the good work and thanks to all who are devoted to taking care of the elderly during these unprecedented times.

Probably a decent place if your family members dont mind losing more of their hearing due to the constant drone of the gas powered leaf blowers that are literally in use for HOURS in the morning, completely destroying the peace and quite of not only the community, but of the surrounding neighborhood. Just this morning its been running from 0730 and its currently just after 0900. Im sure that makes it really wonderful for those who want to sit out under the trees or for anyone who wants to enjoy a quiet amble around the grounds. Also really great at stirring up allergens for anyone with respiratory problems, not to mention how bad for the environment the leaf blowers are.

My wife and I recently toured Cascades. Teresa conducted the tour in a wonderfully friendly and professional manner. She then joined us for a delicious lunch and scintillating conversation. Thanks to the Chef and Staff. What a warm and friendly place. Cascades it at the top of our list for a possible future home!

This is better than home! Residents and staff are all friendly and helpful. Meals are nutritious and delicious. Transportation is convenient and available when needed. My apartment is cleaned on a bi-monthly basis. Some linens are laundered, dried and returned promptly. Movies and games are held at least weekly. Exercise classes are held frequently and are tailored to residents' needs. I've been interested in the Cascades for many years, and it's exceeding my expectations.

I am so grateful to both of my children for finding the needle in the haystack. After a stroke, right out of rehab, I spend fourteen months at cascades ofTucson.A therapist myself, I am picky and demanding Looking back, it has been a time of recovery in the most pleasant environment. The staff is kind, jet professional, you are taken care of no matter what you situation might be. I made new friends, played cards, joint watercolor class, just to name a few. Now I go back twice a week for tai chi and meditation classes that I teach and one day I will be back for good not afraid, thence it is not a place for old people

My Mother has lived at Cascades of Tucson for over a year. She is 98 years old and lives independently. At her age, the initial move was stressful to her but the team at Cascades made her feel welcome and helped get her into a routine. Now she is very happy, she loves the staff, and now has a social life that she hasn't had for a long time. I think Cascades of Tucson is a smart choice for individuals who either are independent or need full assistance. It has been a huge relief to my family to know that she is being watched over and taken care of.

I spent 1.5 months at the Cascades of Tucson after several broken bones in my left knee and arm. It was a wonderful place to stay! My main caretakers, Pat and Sophie, were exceptional people - very helpful and kind as well as very busy. I can't thank them enough. The accommodations were excellent. The food was great as were the whole staff in the cafeteria. I particularly enjoyed George's singing along - it was so cheerful. The whole facility was clean and well maintained! I would definitely recommend it!!

My wife and I visited the Cascades of Tucson this week and found it an excellent experience. We received intellectually honest advice (rather than marketing) from Teresa Knable. We found the food tasty and the menu with valuable choices including a salad bar. The servers provided attention to us and all the residents equally. They sincerely worked at meeting everyone’s individual needs.

We chose the this place because it felt like home. Unfortunately my Moms health would not allow her to stay. The residents seem very happy and everyone is friendly. Everyone gathers around the fancy coffee machine. If Mom gets better, we hope to go back. The staff is great-Wendy, Beth, Megan, Judy, the front desk staff, and the support staff.

I have lived at Cascades of Tucson for 2 1/2 years on the Assisted Living program and am very happy here. I love the staff very much, they are all so very kind to me. From the caregivers who take care of me, the housekeepers that clean my room, to the friendly staff that serve me in the dining room. Everyone I come in contact with are so friendly and nice! I feel so safe and well cared for.
