So thankful for Cadence!

When we realized our dad could no longer live alone safely and needed medication management, we wanted a place where he would be cared for with dignity, kindness, and respect. Cadence has far exceeded every expectation. Clean, welcoming, and well maintained, the beautiful grounds create a peaceful setting for residents & visitors. The staff are consistently prompt, helpful, responsive, and genuinely compassionate. Not once have I felt like a bother when asking questions or requesting help. What stands out most is …

Our experience

All 5. This is the best place ever. My brother loves it at cadence. I feel comfortable with him there. I like the activities they have for the assisted living and memory care residents. They have outings and games. Veteran meetings and more.

I visited this facility

I toured Cadence Wake Forest. The tour guide did an excellent job. The community inside and out was very inviting. Outside of the residents living there, the family could be included through visitation on certain dates. The staff we met was wonderful. I would give them a rating of 5 because of the accommodation of what they would be able to provide, the caring staff, and the cleanliness of it inside and out. We were pleased with everything. The atmosphere was most inviting. If my brother were ready to move in on th…

Has room for improvement

The food needs to be improved. They would benefit from more private rooms. They are friendly but no we would not recommend Cadence at Wake Forest to other families. We ended up moving my mother due to an issue she had with a roommate they could not resolve.

I visited this facility

I toured Cadence Wake Forest, and the tour was nice. The person who gave the tour was very thorough and answered all my questions. The atmosphere was fine. However, the rooms here were smaller than any of the ones I've seen. They're like a dormitory.

I visited this facility

I would give Cadence Wake Forest a four and the only reason I would downmarket it is because for the memory care, there's no possibility of having a private room. You have to have a roommate. I didn't interact much with the staff, but upon observing them, they seemed to be engaged, caring, and supportive of the residents. I have no complaints about the staff. My only thing is that I didn't see many of them, but that was explained to me that they may be in a resident's room. Everything looked cle…
