About Cascade Senior Services

Cascade Senior Services was founded with a simple purpose: to help older adults and their families navigate aging with confidence, dignity, and compassionate support.

Led by Joe and Marilyn Hillyer, our team understands that caring for an aging loved one can be both rewarding and overwhelming. Through their own family caregiving experiences, Joe and Marilyn saw firsthand how important it is for seniors to have trusted guidance, thoughtful care coordination, and advocates who truly understand their needs.

Cascade Senior Services provides professional geriatric care management and senior care coordination for older adults and their families. We help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions through personalized care plans, healthcare advocacy, home safety support, long-term care guidance, and ongoing family communication.

Our goal is to promote independence, improve quality of life, and make sure each client receives the right care at the right time.
