Reviews of Cascade Creek Memory Care in Rochester, MN

Cascade Creek is a modern memory care facility designed for and dedicated solely to people with dementia. Having observed the care given my sister in the two months she has been a resident, I give the facility high marks. The Cascade Creek website, our family’s first introduction, contained very helpful information, not only about the facility but about dementia and its treatment. The tour we were given of the facility answered many questions and allowed a mutual exchange of information. An experienced, highly trained nurse conducts an initial assessment of each prospective resident’s mental and physical condition. Once the admission decision is made, an in-depth Interview with a family member gives the staff helpful background information about their new resident. The two-story building is thoughtfully designed and tastefully decorated, with plenty of natural light, a spacious common area, and a protected outdoor courtyard. The surrounding area has adequate parking and lots of open green space. Each resident’s room has a large window, adequate closet, safety features in the bathroom, wifi, motion sensor. Our family was encouraged to personalize the room with familiar artwork, objects, and photos. The meals I shared with my sister were tasty, with the chef & his staff attuned to the nutritional needs & preferences of each resident. Most important, the staff members whom I met were well trained, willing to help, attentive, gentle, and caring. They did their best to make my sister feel at home. Many activities are offered at Cascade Creek, to include art projects and music therapy, scheduled concerts, bus trips, and other events. As I live far from Rochester, I miss seeing my sister; the Cascade Creek staff has arranged for me to keep in touch through weekly phone calls. Our Minnesota family has been encouraged to visit, to share meals, to bring our pet dog for visits, and to communicate with staff re any questions or potential issues. I feel reassured that my sister is in good hands.

Cascade Creek took excellent care of my brother-in-law, who lived there the last 9 months of his life. He had frontotemporal dementia and declined rapidly after we had to remove him from his home for his own safety. He went through many different stages of decline while at Cascade Creek - and throughout all the different stages the staff lovingly, and with great knowledge, took care of him. They honored him with respect & dignity always. They loved him like he was their brother. I can't say enough good things about Cascade Creek Memory Care. I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for excellent, loving care for their loved one living with dementia. They were also very respectful and loving to us as family members!
