Regency on Whidbey in Oak Harbor provides Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care with an emphasis on clinical oversight. The community is equipped to manage residents who wander day or night, present elopement risks, exhibit combative or other behavioral challenges, or remain up throughout the night. Nurses and caregivers coordinate treatment for wound care, oxygen therapy, and special diet requirements, and they monitor diabetic residents whether they use oral medications, injections, or need sliding-scale insulin management. The Memory Care program accepts residents with advanced dementia and tailors daily routines to match changing cognitive needs.
Round-the-clock staff coverage is reinforced by an activity director, secured doors with alarms, a fenced rear area, pull cords in resident areas, and personal emergency response systems that alert caregivers. Podiatry services are available on site, reducing the need for outside appointments. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained to handle every transfer level from simple standby to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for individuals who are bed bound.
Apartment options may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, and cable hookups, and residents may paint or decorate their space to feel more at home; not every unit contains every listed feature, so confirming specific layouts during a tour is recommended.
Meals are cooked to order, and snacks are available throughout the day. The culinary team works closely with nursing staff to modify menus for texture, calorie, carbohydrate, or sodium adjustments, ensuring residents with diabetes or other dietary restrictions receive meals that meet clinical guidelines without sacrificing variety.
Daily life is rounded out with resident parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common rooms, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation for appointments or errands. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
