Regency on Whidbey

I talked to my mother at Regency on Whidbey a lot. I am probably most impressed by their staff and the dignity with which they treat people; that’s the kind of dignity you want your parents to be treated with. It would be easy to talk down to residents because they don't know what’s going on. They do make sure there are activities going on. She has had a couple of falls, and they kept us in the loop with notifications really well even from a distance; I received them here in California. They send me a calendar of what they have going on each month, which helps to be able to have conversations with my mom while knowing what’s happening. I appreciate that. The facility is clean, no smell. It is probably not as fancy as other facilities in terms of setup and decoration. The way that they served the meals and the snacks is plain, like you're in your own home. I think she feels as at home as she could. The place is a good size; it’s neither too big nor too small, and it's all on one level. I know my mother is happy there. It’s clean, and they are very nice too.

I referred a good friend's Mom there. It is weel kept and up-scale. The care is excellent and they treat old folks like they are not old. There is always a watchful eye from nursing, smiles from the kitchen and a well maintained facility. The administrator make you feel at home and it seems very not corporate. The person is thriving there.

The Regency on Whidbey had a space available at the time my cousin was in need of a place to go because of his requirement for care. They were very thorough and their nursing staff was very accommodating to his needs. He had a large studio that was almost like a one-bedroom apartment because it had a dividing wall between the bedroom and the living room. The food was good. The setting was a little nicer than his present situation. It was also more expensive. I liked the way they communicated with the residents. They were very pro-active in keeping track and informing them of events, meals, and those kinds of things.
