The building has features for safety and accessibility such as automatic sprinklers, secure areas for those needing extra supervision, and 24-hour call systems for help, while rooms come furnished with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, telephones, and Wi-Fi, and residents can live with more independence because of mobility support and supervision for non-ambulatory people. Amenities cover a wide range, like community dining with restaurant-style meals, chef-prepared menus, allergy options, diabetic diets, and all-day dining, plus there's laundry, cleaning, concierge, move-in help, family support, daily activities, arts rooms, a library, movie theater, outdoor programs, and walking paths. Careage Of Whidbey serves 91 residents out of 112 certified beds, and it's classified as a Special Focus Facility and Continuing Care Retirement Community, but it's also got some concerns, as it has the lowest health inspection and quality ratings, a D grade overall, and 8 health deficiencies found in the last survey cycle, though they've kept pressure ulcers below five percent, which indicates some strong points in nursing. Staffing levels average about 4.65 total nurse hours per resident each day, with CNAs spending most of the time, then LPNs, and then RNs, plus extra hours in therapy services, and the facility runs for-profit under Ron Hayes & Associates Inc. The center accepts Medicare and Medicaid, runs special training for dementia and Alzheimer's care, helps residents with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication, and keeps a resident and family council to talk about concerns and improve the living situation. There are also programs for senior home care, wellness, transportation, scheduled daily activities, a game room, music and arts spaces, and special safety features, and while the occupancy rate is on the low side with about 53% of beds filled, they have a mix of experienced staff and a lot of amenities meant to make life comfortable for aging residents.
