Tour Prep

Questions to ask before you visit.

A short pre-tour checklist tailored to REGENCY ON WHIDBEY's record and state requirements.

01 /

The most recent DSHS inspection on April 1, 2025 resulted in one deficiency — can you walk us through what was cited, what corrective action plan was submitted to the state, and how you monitor compliance now?

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

02 /

Your facility holds a DSHS Specialized Dementia Care contract — can you show us the written dementia care program that meets the contract requirements, and explain how it differs from general assisted living care?

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

03 /

With 41 licensed beds and a dementia care designation, how do you ensure that staff across all shifts are trained specifically in dementia care techniques, and can families review documentation of that specialized training?

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

Plain-language summary

A routine unannounced inspection of Regency on Whidbey in February 2025 found that the facility failed to ensure certain staff completed required training before providing care to residents, including orientation and safety training, 70-hour basic training, dementia and mental health specialty training, and CPR and first aid certification. The deficiency affected four staff members and placed all 35 residents at risk for compromised care and safety.
