Cascades of Grass Valley

I am so grateful to the staff of Cascade Living of Grass Valley. From start to finish, that residence felt like the perfect fit for my sister. I envisioned her moving there, and she and I going on little outings together. God had other plans. Their fearless leader, Haley Michelle Parker is incredible in both skill and diplomacy (we have a very difficult family member). I feel so close to each person on the staff, and I am forever grateful to each and every one of them for the excellent care they provided for my sister. If you have a loved one who needs independent, assisted, or memory care living, I cannot recommend Cascades highly enough. It was never a "facility," but rather, FAMILY. It's clean, well organized, well staffed, and feels like a boutique hotel. The food is great, and the activities are superb. Thank you so much to everyone who supported my sister in memory care. My life is richer for having met you. ❤

Can't say enough great things about this facility, the workers and especially the administration and TLC. Many of our friends have had family here and we've all had the same experience: compassionate and kind.

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.
