IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
The BestCareMatch™ Facility Excellence Program is designed to support families and care providers through transparency, education, and informed decision-making.
Facilities recognized through this program demonstrate strong alignment with core indicators families consistently value—including regulatory attentiveness, communication practices, care-scope clarity, and openness to family engagement—at the time of review.
The Facility Excellence Program is not a certification, endorsement, or regulatory approval, and it does not represent ongoing supervision of facility operations.
We encourage all families to take an active role in their care decisions:
Schedule in-person facility tours
Review Washington State DSHS inspection records
Ask detailed questions about staffing, care protocols, and limitations
Seek professional or medical consultation when appropriate
Nothing replaces seeing a care community firsthand. BestCareMatch™ is here to guide, inform, and support—not to replace independent judgment or state oversight.

We’re always here to answer questions, help review inspection reports, and connect you with healthcare professionals for extra peace of mind. Nothing beats seeing a community in person—with BestCareMatch™ by your side every step—for making the best decision for your loved one’s care.

Please note: While BestCareMatch™ reviews each facility carefully, we are not responsible for ongoing operations or future incidents. We recommend an independent review and professional consultation as part of your placement journey.

A trusted network of senior care and healthcare providers who meet BestCareMatch’s highest standards for quality, affordability, and client satisfaction. Members of the 1st Value Network collaborate to deliver comprehensive, coordinated, and reliable care, ensuring that clients receive superior service and optimal outcomes at every step.

Comprehensive Multi-Layered Quality Control

Every care home, assisted living community, and specialty facility undergoes annual audits, documented site visits, and verified compliance reviews. We conduct ongoing quality improvements driven by real family feedback and continuous monitoring of state licensing requirements.

Visual Transparency That Builds Trust

Each participating facility features an up-to-date visual catalog with high-quality photos and video tours, plus public compliance status summaries. Families can review living areas, amenities, and care environments before ever scheduling a visit.

HIPAA-Compliant Data Privacy Leadership

BestCareMatch™ maintains the nation’s strongest data protection standards. Every placement record, facility profile, and family document is secured under strict HIPAA-compliant protocols—ensuring dignity, privacy, and security at every step.

Continuous Education and Expert Support

Participating providers receive complimentary access to regulatory training, compliance updates, and best-practice resources. Our team provides dedicated guidance on documentation, licensing changes, and quality improvement initiatives.

No Pay-to-Play Guarantee

Unlike other referral services, BestCareMatch™ maintains strict ethical standards. No facility receives preferential placement or directory prominence based on payments. Every provider is evaluated under identical, transparent criteria—ensuring families receive unbiased recommendations based solely on quality and fit.

Current Washington State licenses, passed inspections, verified insurance certificates, and clean safety records.

Minimum 10 high-resolution photos or professional video tours showcasing living spaces, common areas, staff, and amenities.

Commitment to refresh all documentation, compliance records, and visual materials yearly.

Agreement to report any licensing changes, compliance events, or significant incidents within specified timeframes.

Our “What’s the Catch?” Answer

There isn’t one. Here’s our complete business model and why it’s different:

We only succeed when placements last. Our revenue comes exclusively from placement fees paid by facilities after a successful match and move-in. This means:

✓ We’re motivated to find the right match, not maximize tour volume
✓ Families never feel sales pressure—our advisors are helpers, not salespeople
✓ Facilities receive pre-qualified families who are genuinely appropriate fits
✓ Poor matches hurt our reputation and revenue—quality is our only path to growth
✓ We provide post-placement follow-up to ensure families remain satisfied

We keep facilities accountable through continuous review. Because our success depends on lasting placements, we actively monitor family satisfaction and compliance status. Facilities with recurring placement issues or compliance lapses lose their Verified Seal—and future referrals. This creates accountability that benefits families and protects our reputation.

We remove financial barriers to quality. First-year complimentary enrollment means excellent facilities aren’t excluded due to upfront costs or marketing budgets. We want Washington’s best providers in our network, regardless of their size or resources.

Why This Model Is More Ethical Than Traditional Referral Services

The Traditional Model Problem:
Most national senior placement agencies operate on a volume-based model where they’re paid per tour or referral, regardless of whether it’s a good fit. This creates pressure to:

• Send families to any available facility to generate tour fees
• Use high-pressure sales tactics to close placements quickly
• Prioritize facilities that pay premium fees (pay-to-play)
• Route calls through call centers with scripted responses
• Treat families as transactions rather than individuals

BestCareMatch™ is actively building formal partnerships with Washington State Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) and the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS).

Current Status: All BestCareMatch™ compliance processes currently meet or exceed state regulatory requirements. Our site inspections can be coordinated alongside official DSHS licensing inspections when schedules permit.

Transparency Commitment: The formal partnership seal and official recognition status will be updated on this page and throughout our directory as these relationships are finalized. We provide real-time transparency on partnership progress so families and facilities always know our current standing.

Quality Assurance: Our verification standards align seamlessly with state agency requirements, ensuring participating facilities are prepared for both BestCareMatch™ and official state reviews.

Important Service Disclaimer

BestCareMatch™ Facility Excellence Program Status
The BestCareMatch™ Facility Excellence Program represents a facility’s compliance with our verification standards at the time of review and annual renewal. Our verification process includes documentation review, site visits, and compliance monitoring, but does not constitute a guarantee of care quality or outcomes.

Independent Verification Encouraged
We strongly encourage all families to:

• Conduct personal facility tours with or without us and meet staff directly.
• Review current Washington State DSHS inspection reports
• Verify all licensing, insurance, and compliance information independently.
• Consult with healthcare professionals before making placement decisions
• Ask facilities detailed questions about care protocols, staffing, and policies

Limitation of Liability
BestCareMatch™ provides advisory and matching services only. We are not liable for facility operations, care outcomes, incidents, or disputes that may arise during or after placement. Our role is to provide information, facilitate connections, and support the decision-making process—not to oversee day-to-day care delivery.

State Oversight
All adult family homes, assisted living facilities, and skilled nursing facilities in Washington State are licensed and inspected by DSHS. Families should review official state inspection reports and contact DSHS with any compliance concerns. BestCareMatch™ verification supplements, but does not replace, state oversight.

No Medical Advice
BestCareMatch™ advisors provide information about care options and facility features, but do not provide medical advice or clinical assessments. All medical decisions should be made in consultation with qualified healthcare providers.

Relationship with Facilities
BestCareMatch™ receives compensation from facilities for successful placements. While we maintain strict no pay-to-play policies and merit-based verification standards, families should be aware of this business relationship. Our success depends on satisfied families and lasting placements, which aligns our interests with yours.
