At The Cascades, we provide an environment that celebrates the joys of daily living —our comprehensive offerings include assisted living, memory care, and a wide range of medical and therapy services. Our community provides all the comforts of home with personalized care to support health and independence. Each day, our uplifting and compassionate staff strives to help our residents become a better, brighter, and stronger version of themselves.
I have been the caregiver for a resident at the Cascades as of 2018. Since National Health Care Assoc. acquired the facility in June of 2024, the management here has been the best by far. I wholeheartedly agree with other reviewers that the environment is warm, clean, organized and the property is being beautifully maintained.
Most importantly to me, from a management point of view, is that the execution of "Corporate" goals, etc., get "transitioned" to all staff. This is precisely what is happening under the leadership of Executive Director Kelsey Miller. This facility had two previous owners and Kelsey has been the best Executive Director by far. She "Listens". She goes the extra distance, considering all possible options to make your family members experience the best possible.
This leadership doesn't end there but "does" transition through to all staff who have been excellent in their care and compassion toward residents and their families. First impressions are usually the most lasting. For me, that starts at the "front desk". I would be remiss if I didn't point out sisters Melissa and Michelle for their professional and courteous character, whether talking with you on the phone or in person as you enter the facility.
Lastly, my 96-year young mother had a temporary stay at the Cascades from August 2024 to May 2025. Again, my thanks and appreciation to all the staff for their great care and compassion and to nurse Stephanie for working with me through any and all medical questions/issues I needed to discuss/understand.
Kelsey, thank you for your leadership, the team behind you and the peace of mind you all have provided.

We placed my mother in law at Cascades in June. The care she receives is top notch. The staff is kind and caring and attentive to her needs. My mother in law has become a happier and more pleasant person who participates in all activities of which there are many. It is a hard decision to remove a family member from their home and independence but we know, without a doubt, this placement was a gift we truly needed.

My mom has been at the assisted living for about 3 weeks. I am so pleased with everything. Her studio is really nice. She loves it. The staff are all incredibly kind and helpful. My mom is busy all day and she tells me how happy she is. So glad we made the decision to give it a try.

If you choose to place a loved one in Stone Bridge’s care, I highly recommend you install security cameras in your loved one’s room. I’m glad we had one. Our footage has been turned over to authorities. We removed our loved one from that facility after three months as we found it quite dangerous.

Is a skilled nursing facility (SNF) like a hospital?
Hospitals provide a range of diagnostic and treatment services, including emergency and intensive care, surgery, diagnostics and imaging. Stays at hospitals are usually much shorter than in a SNF.
Skilled nursing facilities provide around-the-clock care to individuals in a short-term or long-term setting, including rehabilitation following surgeries, therapy services, and assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, eating, and dressing. SNFs are staffed by licensed nurses, therapists, and other medical care specialists.
What paperwork is required for admission?
Guests or a responsible party will need to complete an Admission Agreement form with the admissions team within 48 hours of arriving.
Please enquire with our admission team as to which documents you are required to provide copies of.

Please leave valuables, such as jewelry, purses, wallets, and large amounts of money at home or with a loved one. We do not permit electrical items such as extension cords, space heaters, or electric blankets.

Long-term Medicaid Patients – Long-term guests are allowed a leave of absence (LOA) based on the Medicaid allowable time. LOAs are reviewed and approved by our medical team to determine the safety of the time away and coordinate any plans to accommodate our guests’ care needs while they are away.
Private Pay Patients – These guests have no restrictions.
Who will be my doctor? When does the doctor visit?
We have several physicians who visit our guests within 48 hours of their arrival. They also make weekly rounds. If a guest prefers to use an existing primary care physician, our center staff will help them with the guidelines we’re required to follow to accommodate their request.
Our center also has nurse practitioners onsite and 24/7 on-call care staff. Our guest rooms may also include FDA-approved remote monitoring devices that monitor guests’ vitals 24/7. These devices are monitored by a team of RNs who can communicate with physicians and nurse practitioners if there are changes that need to be addressed.
Will i have a voice in my care plan?
It is every patient’s legal right to make their own choices about the care they receive, activities they participate in, and other aspects of their life while staying with us. A resident council, which is a self-governed body in our center, provides our guests with an opportunity to address any concerns.
When it comes to decisions around medical treatment, some guests can opt to give decision-making responsibilities to a loved one, such as a spouse, adult child, or other legally-designated person.
How long will guests stay at the center under their SNF benefit?
Each guest’s length of stay depends on their individual care plan and how they progress through therapy. Please note that insurance-approved days and coverage criteria apply. We will communicate with our guests or their designated caregiver regarding coverage throughout their stay.
How can guests leave the center?
When it comes to helping our guests return home or to another care setting, we closely monitor their progress and assess their requirements with activities of daily living. When appropriate, we support each of our guests with our Passport™ approach, including our Passport to Home program, to ensure a safe return home and continued treatment as needed.
