We chose the Cascades!
We love the whole place in particular we love the size and the floorplans of the apartments for independent care for my mother-in-law. We also like the fact that we can move her into assisted care without having to change facilities. The staff have all been very helpful and caring. we toured about five other places and this one just felt the best for my mother-in-law, yes I would recommend !

It is definitely overpriced, but the food is constantly good and the care givers are very kind and helpful. The wellness center staff is great and [name removed] in the accounting office is just fantastic!

All of the staff are pleasant and helpful. The care staff are great, I couldn't ask for better. The cleaning schedule seems to be a little sketchy. It was once a week, in December there was a note telling her they would be gone for a couple of weeks. Now it looks like every two weeks. Since they are also doing laundry, that's not enough. The food that I have had is definitely good. They have two choices for lunch and dinner, not sure about breakfast. They could use a couple of normal items if you don't care for the specials. The cleaning and only having the two meal options are my mom's biggest complaints. Overall, I would recommend them. I feel like she is safe there and well taken care of.

Review for Cascades of the Sierra
It's been a great experience from the start. It was a difficult change for my mother, however they made her feel at-home and included. She now has many friends and is active in several clubs and walking groups. We picked this community because of the value for the cost.

All staff have been very friendly and accommodating
The residents already had a meeting on food improvements. They have a new manager and maybe a new cook. So that should help with the food score. All of the staff have been great! They are very friendly and accommodating. I would encourage others to let their parents tour and stay as a guest, my Mom stayed as a guest beforehand which gave her a real experience.

Family's experience
Our family has had an excellent experience except with the value - the prices quoted were less than what the real price was. The cleanliness of the community is excellent as well as the friendliness of the staff. The meals prepared and the dining services is excellent. The activities are good, but they could have better bingo prizes/cash. Something better than baby candy bars. The overall value again is good, but pricy

Tour experience at Cascades
We toured with Cascades of the Sierra and it was nice, but it was to big for our mom. We felt that she would get turned around in there. Also we felt it was more for people that did not need as much help/care.

Very nice facility and friendly staff
The staff was welcoming and helpful. They made us feel comfortable and were very knowledgeable., We had several unexpected obstacles arise and they worked diligently to help us get through them. They were very supportive and helped with all of the unexpected changes that arose after our first visit until eventually getting my parents moved in and there were several. They have been very helpful and and clear about what is going on at the facility. We had originally applied for assisted living but after the changes to my parents health prior to them moving, in they ended up in memory care. Which was probably a better choice. They treat my parents with respect and dignity. They have a friendly staff and wonderful activities for the residents.

Overall I would recommend Cascades. It's a nice place. Cleanliness is good. From what I've seen of their activities guide, it looks like they offer good things. PT has been great and enjoyable for my loved one. She hasn't 100% bought in to everything there yet, but I'm trying to get her to move more in that direction.

Shameful Administration
This is not a very good facility ! Residents are not taken care of properly and sometimes left in the same clothes for days. Its sad. Employee turn around is high because they are treated with no respect whatsoever by administration. I feel the elderly here are neglected and the administration does not care at all. Shameful behavior but unfortunately common that administrators at these facilities line their pockets, drive expensive cars but the staff of caregivers for these elderly people are treated horribly just like the elderly that live here. Staff ratios are ridiculously low and they cannot keep most staff past 90 days because they never give staff the raises or benefits they promise after the 90 day period, its a lie, they have no intention of doing it, so they change staff members every 90 days, disgusting !

Great place
The property is very well kept. My husband does not partake in many activities but I do see they have a lot of activities to do. We have been here a little over a month and a half so were still getting used to it. I like the care they provide my husband with and they are very attentive. When I'm not here they check in on him. I think it is a good place.

Unacceptable treatment and living conditions
I have specifically signed up for this website so I can disclose and share my recent unfortunate and unacceptable experience with the Cascades. After much heartbreak and consideration for alternative methods of car, my family decided to place my grandmother in an assisted living program. She has quickly progressing Alzheimer's, and we were worried about her safety in an at home setting. We decided that the best alternative solution would to provide her with the most comfortable, safe, clean, and knowledgeable care available. After months of searching we decided on the Cascades Assisted Living in Sparks, NV. As her condition has escalated, the care she has received there in the past year has gotten increasingly worse, till the point where when I visited her last week I was so appalled that we have called an official meeting to discuss her [removed] and transfer to a new facility. I would like to add here that my family is very involved with her care, and visit frequently (1-2+ times per week). When I went to visit her last week I found that she had not bathed, was wearing dirty clothes covered in food and spit, the entire apartment smelled of urine, and her garbage was overflowing with used depends. We have discussed her urination problem multiple times with staff, and they ensured us that they would be taking care of her escalating issues. After cleaning up her apartment, and bathing her myself I discussed the state in which I found her and her apartment with my mother (her primary) who was horrified. We had noticed a lack of initiative on the staff's part over her cleanliness, and have brought this up multiple times; however, this was the last straw. After returning home from a business trip, my mother went straight to grandma's assisted living to check in, and see if there was any change since I had seen her last (3 days earlier). She was shocked to find her in the same state wearing the clothes I had dressed her in 3 days earlier, urine soaked through the mattress and couch, food and spit on her clothes, un-bathed, and depends spilling over the trash. Grandma was mortified, and ashamed that she had wet the bed, and tried to explain to mom how she had 'tried to clean it up herself.' This is completely unacceptable. I wanted to compare this to something you may find in a public state institution, however, this is unacceptable and [removed] in any situation. Between being extremely worried about my grandma's condition, happiness, and living situation, having to deal with the incompetence of a well paid staff and institution is a stress that no person having to place a loved one in assisted living should have to deal with. We will be discussing all these issues, plus many others that I haven't the time to share here, with the management and staff, as well as filing a formal complaint with Nevada's senior protective services. If any other resident at the Cascades is living in a similar condition, than it must be brought to the attention of the family and authorities.

brother has improved!
They have done everything pretty well. The only thing that I would recommend would be to have more of an orientation type thing where we can understand what covers what, what exactly we are paying for, and just a little more detail. That is the only thing I can think of that they could do better. Other than that it has been a very good experience. Overall I can say sincerely that my brother who is staying there has improved a ton and is doing very well at Cascades of the Sierra.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Nevada regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Nevada regulations for Assisted Living.
