Overview of Cascade Inn

Cascade Inn offers assisted living and independent living in Vancouver, WA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident maintains a private apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Having both care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time and who may want to remain in the same place.

The community has 120 beds, with studio and one-bedroom layouts. A studio provides one private living space, while a one-bedroom layout has a separate bedroom. Pets are allowed, which means residents can keep a pet with them. Medicaid acceptance may matter to families whose savings may not cover a long stay. A Walk Score of 70 out of 100 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
