Cascade Heights review
Based on my mom's comment and my observations, I would give a 5 for all of above, but for food. Food gets a 3 because of breakfast. The buffet for breakfast is not ideal as the food is cold by the time you get it to your table.
Everything else has been excellent. No problems with communication with the family.

Our Experience
My Mom is very happy at Cascade Heights. She thinks that the food is better than her previous residence in Chicago. I agree, the food is all from scratch and they don't scrimp on the portions. The staff are very helpful, but will leave you to do your thing if that's what you want. I'm very glad to have made this move for her.

Review for Cascade Heights
I tell people that it is a lovely place to live. They give her good care. It's clean and she's safe as someone lays eyes on her several times a day. My only lingering issue is that I wish I had someone to call with small questions and concerns. It takes a while for the resident and their support people ( I'm not family. There isn't any.) to adjust and the devil is in the details.

I would recommend it to others. I told my mom that if I can live in a place like Cascade Heights when I am old I will be very happy. We picked this community because it was very good. Residents were all very positive about it.

top-notch, highly recommend for an active and fun independent/assisted living facility
Cascade Heights is a great place! 25 years from now if it is still good, we may have to go here!
The staff is super friendly and awesome
Just walking around the place. You can see all of the people that live there seem very happy.
The apartments are fabulous, full kitchen. His mom actually has the two bedroom. She turned one of the rooms into a dining room, which looks great a screened in porch patio on a third floor new appliances, stainless steel plenty of closet space everywhere.
The place feels more like a resort than assisted-living. The full apartments are fabulous. Plenty of space storage and a full kitchen so many activities happy hours, music live music we can't say good things.
And his mom loves the food which was a complaint at her her previous place in Ocala plus she didn't have even a kitchenette let alone full kitchen and she's paying $[removed] less here for more than double the space and so many more amenities

I am currently a resident at Cascade Heights and everything has been great for me at this facility so far. The staff is very friendly and very resident attentive. The food is good and it varies on a daily basis. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The activities and the value for cost are also great. I would recommend Cascade Heights to family and friends.

Pros and cons
I think like most places, they struggle with being understaffed. My mom is upstairs in assisted living. The nurses have all been very friendly and kind. I've never felt like my mother was unsafe there. They've always had plenty of activities downstairs but recently they started doing more upstairs which I love because my mom doesn't always feel comfortable going downstairs. Thinking back to when she started there, there was quite a bit left out of orientation so you're kind of on your own to figure out how to get things done thought you just have to keep asking questions.
One thing that I wish they did was to offer times to review residents care with the family, at least in assisted living. I know that would be helpful for me and for my mom.

They Take Wonderful Care of Older Adults
My parents have lived here for several years. They enjoy delicious meals, many fun activities, opportunities to socialize, celebrations, rides to various shopping and appointments, all while providing a safe and clean place to live. If they need any help with maintenance or anything, the staff is quick to address and fix their problems. I highly recommend Cascade Heights for your loved ones!!

A perfect place for mom
My mom spent the last 6 years of her life here in Independent Living. I couldn't have asked for more in a residential senior community. Even during the dreadful years of Covid, she was happy and entertained. The staff went out of their way to ensure safety with the residents. During hurricanes, the staff spent the night at the residence to make sure all was well. When times were good, it was difficult to even see her because there were so many activities!
Three cheers for Cascade Heights!

Top Notch Assisted Living
The facility is clean, well maintained and has enough of space for some fun activities! Also perfect for socializing and relaxing. The range and quality of activities that the residents have access to is very impressive. Attention to detail goes into all activities. They are well organized, well staffed and tailored to the needs and interests of the residents.
I would highly recommend this assisted living home to anyone looking for a supportive and engaging environment for their loved ones. It’s the ideal place for seniors to grow and thrive in their golden years.

Hi. My name is Ginger! I’m a singer/entertainer and have been doing shows in and around the central Florida area for many years, in many different facilities. One of my favorite places is Cascade Heights in Longwood. There are several reasons for that, and one of the main reasons is because of the awesome members of your Activities Department. They get so involved in the shows, making sure that the residents have as much fun as possible! They’re amazing. Trust me when I tell you that that’s not something you find in all senior facilities! Having said that, it brings me to one of the other reasons: the residents seem to be very happy there, and I say again that that’s not the case in all senior facilities. And because of the great activities team you have, it will continue to be one of my favorite places to perform!
Thank you for the opportunity for me to be one of the regular entertainers at Cascade Heights Longwood, and I look forward to a long and continuing relationship there.

A great place to live.
Cascade Heights has been a great home for my mom. She is in independent living where she is safe, comfortable, and enjoying life. She has many friends, plays bridge, and enjoys the many entertainment opportunities offered.
The staff goes above and beyond in making her feel an important part of the activities.

I am a private caregiver in my community. I have had Clients move to Cascade Heights. It is wonderful life transition. They offer a plethora of activities both on campus and off. The transportation Drivers go above and beyond in the care and safety of the residents. It may be a dreaded Drs appointment or a fun ride out for sight seeing, either way they make it comfortable and fun?? I recommend it to my clients, family and friends.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Florida regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Florida regulations for Assisted Living.
