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.

I know there is a stigma for people who place their loved ones in retirement homes. (I assure you…read moremy family and I make monthly visits to see her. We didn't just dump her in a home and leave like some families do). But some situations such as my grandma's advancing Alzheimer's made my family question whether or not hospice would be a good fit for her. I'm so glad we put her in Mt. Bachelor. They have done an excellent job taking care of her and making sure she gets all the medical treatment and assistance that she needs. This place works with you on payment plans and are very understanding about financial accommodations. My Grandma and my family love the med aides, guest speakers, and doctors that help make this place what it is. Understandably Alzheimer's is a frustrating and painful experience to live through and for your loved ones to watch, and yet the staff here is nothing but compassionate and understanding with her. These are difficult attributes to come by in retirement homes, but my family has the utmost faith and respect in the staff here at Mt. Bachelor and know our Grandma will spend her final days in the care of people who truly want to make a difference and help the elderly in any way they can. Not to mention what a beautiful place it is, not your typical run down retirement home, Mt. Bachelor is truly upscale and the women at the front desk are always so warm and inviting. My family and I are so happy we moved my Grandma out of the crappy hole in a wall CLAIRE BRIDGE and moved her into this classy beautiful facility instead.

The one that only treat them like a paycheck dosent care about the residents. They hurt them and the mangment doesnt care. Some medaids makes the caregiver pass meds. So the med aides can possible hurt your loved ones because they arent doing their job and handing it off to someone else. So I recommend not to send your loved ones here because the only want a paycheck.
