Licensing: Typically licensed by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) Aging and Long-Term Support Administration.

Payment Options: In Washington, Medicaid may help pay for assisted living through the Community First Choice, COPES Waiver. Eligibility is based on both financial and functional criteria. Contact Washington Department of Social and Health Services or visit https://www.dshs.wa.gov/altsa to learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply. Wait lists are common for waiver programs, so applying early is recommended.

Families researching assisted living options should verify the facility's current license status, review any inspection reports, and schedule a visit to assess whether the environment and services meet their loved one's needs.
