Washington’s new Memory Care Certification requirements under
SB 5337 take effect July 1, 2026—and every assisted living facility that provides or markets as memory care will need to comply.
These new standards include an application process, updated inspection methods, environmental expectations, and specific regulatory changes focusing on resident care and services. We strongly recommend that providers understand what’s changing and begin preparing early. We invite you to join us for a focused webinar, presented by Residential Care Services, on April 29 from 10 AM – noon.

This session will walk through the new law, outline certification standards, and clarify what facilities must have in place by July 1, 2026 – in less than 90 days.
