Care includes medication management, transfer assistance, and a dedicated memory care program. Residents who need more support with daily routines and those living with memory loss can remain in the same community. Housekeeping, laundry, and transportation services are also available. Cascade Inn accepts Medicaid, giving eligible families a payment option for the cost of care.
Residents can take part in social and recreational activities. There are also regular exercise programs that add structure and social interaction to daily life. Residents can bring their pets, which can make the transition easier for those who do not want to leave a companion animal behind.
State inspectors with the Washington Department of Social and Health Services have most often identified fire safety systems as an area needing attention, including corridor fire ratings and fire door maintenance. A separate documentation issue involved a missing signed policy but was corrected during the inspection.
Families touring Cascade Inn should ask how fire safety systems and documentation are being maintained. Cascade Inn has a Walk Score of 70 out of 100, which is very walkable. Many everyday errands can be handled on foot rather than driving. The community’s walkable location, dedicated memory care program, and pet-friendly policy can suit families looking for a larger community with both structure and daily flexibility.
