It’s time for a WA Cares Q&A.

QUESTION: How long will the benefit amount last?

ANSWER: WA Cares is designed to help you stay in your home as long as possible, which most people with long-term care needs can do with the right support. A few hours of help each day with basic tasks like bathing, meal preparation and transportation can keep you living independently.

While the benefit won’t cover 100% of care for everyone, it could cover around 20 hours per week of home care for about a year. This is the amount of in-home care the average Medicaid client receives right now.

About a third of people need care for a year or less, and for those people WA Cares may be able to cover all the care they need. For others, WA Cares provides families with immediate relief and time to plan for future care costs.
