A friend's mother was placed in Cascades of Bend, and it quickly turned into a heartbreaking…read morenightmare. Despite her daughter's devoted care, the facility suddenly restricted all visitors, including family. Her mother was isolated in her room with no explanation or compassion. She stopped eating, withdrew from the world, and fell into a deep depression. Before this, she was engaged and alert--but once cut off from human connection, she declined rapidly and passed away far sooner than expected. This facility took away her dignity and her will to live. No one should have to endure that. Run--don't walk--away from this place.

SHAMEFUL STONE LODGE…read more First the food and then, the bigger issue, security. Food is a major problem at Stone Lodge. Meals take forever to be served (a simple lunch can easily take 90 minutes or longer). Often the food is inedible -- pork chops that are so hard you cannot cut them with a knife). Edible food often arrives barely warm. Even hard boiled eggs are often overboiled with green yolks. There has been a succession of cooks -- I think the place just doesn't want to pay enough for good help. Now to security. In a new reckless, cost-cutting policiy, Stone Lodge will soon have NO ONE on premises supervising from 7PM to 7AM. A year ago Stone Lodge had TWO married couples living at the facility. About six months ago only one married couple. Now the owners of Stone Lodge have decided, in a heartless and callus move, to have NO ONE in charge living at the facility. Instead, Stone Lodge has given its residents pendants to wear -- if they fall or have a problem they are to press the button on the pendant. Stone Lodge thinks so much of this system they are in the process of REMOVING their emergency pull cords in all the rooms. Stone Lodge thinks so much of their new pendant system that they will leave the facility with no supervision for 12 out of every 24 hours. Please, vote with your wallet and DO NOT have your loved one stay at this facility. We will be moving our mother out of here soon. Stone Lodge cannot be trusted to safeguard its residents.

Type of care was the worst !! Care quality was horrible !!…read moreI'm 61yrs old, with no issues other then a sudden spinal cord injury, which left me partially paralyzed from the waist down. I was there for what they claim to be, physical therapy and care, for just 12 days before my family filed complaints and threatened a lawsuit, and got me out of there...Thank God !! It was a nightmare ! Please never believe this place is what they claim ! I saw elderly people, treated horribly...it broke my heart to see. They, need to be shut down !! Them,and any other place like it !!

Don't expect a private room or bath even tho promised one…read more Night one, roommate needed assistance, my daughter and then later my granddaughter had to help her because our nurse light was not responded to in over 22 minutes. The shared bathroom was deplorable! The food was not edible. My roomie told them she's diabetic they served her mac and cheese, roll, yellow cake and Lasagna. The best part was medicine. I asked for my meds and stated that just being transferred from hospital i didn't recall when i last took my pain medicine ( opioids) she said oh im sure it was eons ago ill go get ya some. I said, well dont you know? she replied, no, guess i could call someone. it took her 33 min to bring in a portion of meds and said, i ll need to go try and track down the rest. roommate claims nurse said she couldn't give hers until 4 more hours, they skipped a whole dose. she claims the nurse kept hers. The nurses stood outside my door at 10:15 pm howling, carrying on about boys. i barely made it up and asked if they could carry on elsewhere. 3 am nurses came into room turned on lights and talked very loudly to roommate. Again, please night time voices. This should be by passed in your search, even if physical therapy is good or not. You will not rest or be nourished therefore, you will not heal.
