My husband and I had been retired for ten years when we decided we needed a change from managing our big house and property. We chose Cascade Manor, and we're so glad we did. Once our bright, spacious apartment was freshly painted and new carpet installed, we were happy to move in. When covid shut down everything a few weeks later, we were impressed that the dining staff pivoted immediately to providing takeout meals we chose from an extensive menu, brought right to our door by cheerful dining room servers--with juice and coffee! Residents kept in touch with each other through Zoom, and we felt safe and protected in our new home. On-site clinics provided staff and residents alike with flu and covid vaccinations. Now that all our venues are open again, we enjoy seeing old friends and making new ones. My favorite activities are working in the library and chairing the dining committee, but there are many resident groups and committees to join, including art, music, facilities, council, health, safety, genealogy, gardens, language and reading groups, and many more. I'm not a pool and exercise type myself, but the tai chi and exercise groups are welcoming. I hadn't planned on being involved in so many committees, but it has been a fun way to stay in touch with our friends and new neighbors. Cascade Manor is a wonderful place to live. read more
