Rock Cove sits at 986 NW Rock Creek Dr SW, Stevenson, WA 98648, and connects to a network of senior care options, though some people refer to its wider location as Cascade Locks, Oregon, which can be a bit confusing, but the address is firmly in Stevenson. The community mainly serves folks who are 55 and older and provides several living options, including assisted living, independent living, memory care for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia, and temporary respite stays if caregivers need a break. Residents get help with daily things like bathing, dressing, moving around, and managing medicines, and everyone has access to a 24-hour call system and staff who stay awake all night, every night, which can be a comfort if something urgent happens late. You'll find professional, licensed English-speaking caregivers, some of whom know how to help folks who can't get out of bed very easily, but while staff can help with blood sugar checks if someone's got diabetes, they don't do insulin shots, and anyone who needs incontinence care should be able to manage much of it on their own.
The place has both studio and one-bedroom furnished rooms and lets people bring along their cats and dogs, and there's even a "Family Dog" mix breed living on site. People like the family feeling and the quiet spaces, especially with the views of the river and the tranquil garden that's nice for slow walks or just sitting outside a while, and there's a library, a community arts room, a barber and Carole's Beauty Salon to keep everyone looking neat, plus regular movie nights and other resident-run activities like games or art projects. The dining room stays open all day with restaurant-style meals, and for those with allergies or special diets, the kitchen staff make accommodations, which means mealtime can work for a lot of different needs without fuss.
Rock Cove offers both home care service and independent living options for more social or active residents, and for anyone moving in, there's help with making the transition a little easier. Housekeeping, laundry (including dry cleaning), and transportation to appointments or errands are available, and the facility provides scheduled daily events, activities that encourage movement and socializing, and offsite devotional services when folks want a change of scenery. Memory care areas keep people safe from wandering and confusion and aim to make days feel structured and comforting.
Rock Cove has a reputation for good service and for staff who are warm, welcoming, and committed to helping folks feel at home while staying as independent as possible. There's a focus on enriching daily life, keeping things simple, and making sure needs are met, whether someone's in for respite, longer-term assisted living, or memory care. The facility is open and staffed all day and night, every day, accepts a range of payment options including private pay, veteran's benefits, and social security, and uses a fee system based on the level of care someone needs. Meals, safety alert systems, and move-in coordination round out what's available, and while things aren't fancy, Rock Cove provides a comfortable place for seniors and disabled adults looking to enjoy a quieter chapter with a mix of independence, support, and companionship from both people and pets.
