Overview of Cascades of Bend Retirement Community

Cascades of Bend Retirement Community offers assisted living, memory care, residential care, and respite care in Bend, Oregon. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Residential care offers supportive daily living in a residential setting. Respite care provides a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. The combination of care options may suit a resident whose needs change over time, as well as a family caregiver who needs temporary coverage.

The community has 70 beds and opened in 2023. Suite, one bedroom, and two bedroom housing options are available, with a two bedroom layout potentially suiting a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Medicaid is accepted, giving families another payment option when personal savings may not cover a long stay.

Pets are allowed, so a resident may be able to continue living with a pet. Staff are present around the clock, providing coverage throughout the day and night. Residents can use a fitness center for exercise, a salon or spa for grooming services, and outdoor space with views and wildlife for time outside.

Restaurant style dining and daily chef specials provide on site meal options. Scheduled transportation provides on site transportation services, while rehabilitation services support residents who need therapy during recovery or to maintain function. Misty Nichlolas-Liceaga is the administrator, and Cascade Living Group Oregon operates the community.

The community is in the Mountain View neighborhood of Bend, Oregon. It may be a good fit for someone whose care needs may change over time, a couple considering a two bedroom layout, a resident who wants to keep a pet, or a family caregiver who needs temporary coverage.
