Tour Prep

Questions to ask before you visit.

A short pre-tour checklist tailored to Cascade Valley Senior Living's record and state requirements.

01 /

The most recent inspection on September 1, 2025 identified 3 deficiencies — can you walk us through what those deficiencies were, and show us the written corrective action plans the facility submitted to DSHS Residential Care Services?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

02 /

Two complaints were filed with DSHS during the inspection period on file — were either of those complaints substantiated, and what changes did the facility make in response to the findings?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

03 /

This facility holds a DSHS Specialized Dementia Care contract — can you explain what specific dementia care requirements that contract requires beyond standard assisted living regulations, and show us documentation of how staff are trained to meet those requirements?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.
