§ 05 · Tour Prep

Questions to ask before you visit.

A short pre-tour checklist tailored to Northcare Olympia's record and state requirements.

01 /

The facility holds a Washington DSHS Specialized Dementia Care contract — can you show us the written dementia care program that DSHS reviewed when awarding that contract, and explain how staff training differs from a standard assisted living facility?

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

02 /

The most recent inspection on February 1, 2026 documented 2 deficiencies — can you walk us through the corrective action plan the facility submitted to DSHS for each deficiency, and show documentation that those corrections have been implemented?

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

03 /

With 16 licensed beds and a dementia care contract, what specific environmental adaptations or secured outdoor areas does the facility maintain to support residents with memory impairment, and are those features documented in writing for families to review?

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