WA Cares can help you pay for care in your home or in a residential care setting. It’s your choice. 

You can use your benefit to make your home safer, get meals delivered, pay a family caregiver, and more. 

Where to Begin

Workers in Lewis, Mason and Thurston County will have first access to the WA Cares’ earned long-term care benefit.
