Wilderness Shores Nursing

Wilderness Shores Nursing is a homecare agency serving Maple Valley, Washington and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.

Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In Washington, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the Washington State Department of Health and generally must maintain a In-Home Services Agency License. Washington requires licensure for In-Home Services Agencies providing personal care.

Payment Options: In Washington, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like Community First Choice, COPES Waiver. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact Washington Department of Social and Health Services or visit https://www.dshs.wa.gov/altsa to learn about eligibility and how to apply.

When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns.
