Couldn't ask for more as my parents transitioned from their longtime home into the independent cottages at Regency 3 months ago. They love the food at the dining hall each day, and the bigger than expected garage and roomy 2 bedroom cottage meets their needs. The staff are very helpful and friendly, with a service mindset.

My mother lived at Regency for several years, three in a cottage and three in the main building with assisted living. I was there when I moved her into the main building. I remember setting at her dining table with a Regency staff telling us she would be able to live there the rest of her life, even if she needed hospice care. On a Monday morning, after my sister had spent the weekend with Mom, we received a call that they were sending her to the emergency room so see why she was not up to par. The hospital kept her as an observation patient because she did not meet admission criteria. We were informed by Regency that they could not take her back because she was to high level of care. There was not any notice, just refuse to take her back. I went and moved her out of her apartment. This is not the way residents should be treated. I have heard others there are very unhappy with the way our Mom was treated, and there have been similar reports from others of resident dumping.

Washington asks us to share this statement and gather a short intake first

Read the statement, add what you can below (a few words each, all optional), and Send signs it with the name you entered.

Washington disclosure statement, dated November 8, 2026, under the Elder and Vulnerable Adult Referral Agency Act (RCW 18.330).

(a) Agency: MyLivingChoice LLC (MyLivingChoice.com), 8705 N. Cypress Ct, Kansas City, MO 64156, (816) 226-7772.

(b) Client: the person sending this request.

(c) Fees: you pay us nothing. If you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee computed as a percentage of your first month's rent and care charges, invoiced to the community after you move in. If you ask, we will tell you the amount of the fee for any community we refer you to.

(d) Services: MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps families find senior living. We gather a short intake about the care needed, suggest communities that appear able to meet those needs, and introduce you to the ones you choose. For you specifically, we will introduce you to Regency on Whidbey and share with it your name, contact details and the care needs you described, nothing more.

(e) We will never ask you to waive any claim for loss of personal property or injury, or any right you have under state or federal law.

(f) We work with both you and the community in the same transaction: the community pays us, and we are introducing you to it. To obtain or share confidential health care information about the person who needs care we need your authorization, which you give for the communities named above by acknowledging this statement.

(h) You may stop using our service, or switch to another referral agency, at any time and for any reason, with no penalty and no cancellation fee.

(i) Refunds: because you pay us nothing, there is nothing to refund to you. If a community pays us a fee for your placement and the resident dies, is hospitalized or moves to another setting for more appropriate care within the first thirty days after admission, we refund the community a prorated share of the fee for the days not used, as RCW 18.330.090 requires.

(j) Complaints about a referral agency may be filed with the Washington State Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division (Consumer Resource Center), 800 5th Ave, Suite 2000, Seattle, WA 98104-3188, 1-800-551-4636 in Washington, 1-206-464-6684 from outside the state, https://www.atg.wa.gov/file-complaint.

We share with the communities you chose only your name, contact details and care needs; the rest stays with us. Leave blank what you do not know; we can fill it in with you later.

Sending your request signs the Washington statement above with the name you entered, dated now, and authorizes us to share your name, contact details and care needs with the communities or agencies you chose. By submitting, you're okay with us and Regency on Whidbey and any other communities you ticked reaching out by phone, email or text. Always free for families. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee, never you. Those referral agreements are our only tie to the communities we list. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it. How we work · FAQ
