Cascades of Stayton

Cascades of Stayton sits in a convenient spot near shopping, restaurants, hospitals, and outdoor activities, so folks don't have to go far for what they need or want, and this senior living community, which is part of Cascade Living Group, offers a mix of independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even short-term respite care, with 62 total beds, providing different options depending on a person's needs-some people come here for a more active retirement with little support, while others might need more help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or medication management. The community has a friendly, laid-back feel, which comes through in the way staff are often recognized by residents and families for being helpful and kind, and everyone's encouraged to join activity programs that focus on keeping the mind, body, and spirits engaged-things like crafts, education, group outings, exercise in the fitness center, and regular social events, plus there are devotional services for those who want them on and off the property. Each apartment, whether private or shared, can be furnished or not, has its own bathroom-some are wheelchair accessible-kitchenettes, walk-in closets, and is kept tidy with regular housekeeping and laundry services. Residents get homemade meals served restaurant-style three times a day in a bright dining room, and if there's a special occasion, they can even use the private dining room with catering. Amenities include a library, beauty salon and barbershop, outdoor courtyards, garden paths, elevators, garages, parking, scheduled transportation for errands and doctor visits, plus walking paths for those who prefer to stay close to home. There's also a structured program of social, educational, and entertaining activities designed to help people stay connected and creative. Meals are nutritious and freshly prepared, all utilities except basic cable and phone are included, and the environment is pet-friendly and built for accessibility. The community caters to a variety of levels-offering memory care with person-centered plans for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, hospice support, and a system where couples can stay together even if their care needs change. Folks can get around easily using the provided transportation, enjoy a beautician onsite, take part in the community newsletter for updates, and feel good knowing the facility is licensed and checked regularly for quality, scoring around 8.5 from resident reviews. There's no rush here; the main thing is helping everyone feel at home and keeping them as independent and engaged as possible.
