Twenty hours of home care per week for one year costs around $32,000 in Washington State. Others include dementia supports, memory care, care transitions, personal emergency response systems, and more. These are just some of the services WA Cares Fund will offer. If you are being supported by an unpaid family caregiver, you can hire a home care aide to give them a break or get your family members the training they need to feel supported. You can purchase equipment, assistive devices, medication reminders, and transportation to the doctor. You can use funds flexibly to make home modifications so you can get around better, purchase a home safety evaluation so you can prevent avoidable falls, and have meals delivered to your door. You can hire a home care aide and pay a qualified family member (including a spouse) to provide care. WA Cares Fund will pay for care where you need it, whether it’s in-home or in a facility.
