Cascade Heights is a great place! 25 years from now if it is still good, we may have to go here! The staff is super friendly and awesome Just walking around the place. You can see all of the people that live there seem very happy. The apartments are fabulous, full kitchen. His mom actually has the two bedroom. She turned one of the rooms into a dining room, which looks great a screened in porch patio on a third floor new appliances, stainless steel plenty of closet space everywhere. The place feels more like a resort than assisted-living. The full apartments are fabulous. Plenty of space storage and a full kitchen so many activities happy hours, music live music we can't say good things. And his mom loves the food which was a complaint at her her previous place in Ocala plus she didn't have even a kitchenette let alone full kitchen and she's paying $[removed] less here for more than double the space and so many more amenities
We chose this community because out of the ones that we looked into for my friend, this one was the best. The room sizes are good and spacious. I have eaten here and the food is very good, they have a lot of variety. I would recommend Elan Buena Vista to a friend or family member.
Excellent facility. Wonderful staff. Amazing experience. My step father moved in within 2 weeks and has received top care ever since! We are so lucky to have found such an amazing place. Thank you "Aplaceformom" for helping us locate this facility.
