Cascades of the Sierra

Cascades of the Sierra is a residential care facility that offers several types of care including independent living, assisted living, secure memory care, skilled nursing, respite care, home health, and adult day care, with support for both short-term and long-term needs, and you'll find the staff there known for being caring and attentive, plus there's a 6:1 staff-to-resident ratio which means there's usually someone around to help right away if someone needs assistance, whether that's help with daily activities like bathing, feeding, dressing, changing sheets, or medication management, and the care is set up to meet the needs of each person, especially for those living with dementia or Alzheimer's, with special programs and secure environments. The building itself looks like a rustic mountain lodge with stone, wood, a grand foyer, and plenty of comfortable seating near fireplaces where folks like to gather, you'll see large, airy dining and common rooms with soft lighting and plush chairs, a movie theater, a fitness center, a walk-in pool, and a bar area where a bartender serves visitors. There's a spacious courtyard outside, filled with gardens, water features, walking paths, a gazebo, an outdoor putting green, and places to sit, plus the secure memory care area has its own courtyard and kitchen to support activities for residents with memory loss. Apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans, some with private patios or porches, and inside you'll find upgrades like safes, linen closets, washers and dryers, and upscale kitchens and bathrooms if that's something folks want, and each one has an emergency alert system for peace of mind. The facility stays clean and the setting feels welcoming, with plenty of social and recreational activities each week: residents join in programs for physical and mental wellness, live entertainment, movies, and even educational classes run by other residents, and memory care residents have the Mosaic Memory Care Program, which gives them special support and meaningful programs. Nursing, internal medicine, and general counseling services can be arranged, and there's always care available day or night, with support as health needs change over time. Licensed and verified by the state, Cascades of the Sierra lets residents pay through private pay insurance options, and it's organized as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so a resident can stay as their care needs increase, with a focus on comfort, safety, and dignity all through the different stages of aging, surrounded by landscaped grounds and parks that make for a peaceful place to call home.
