How to apply for Family Caregiver Support Program — Washington
Washington State DSHS ALTSA, through the Area Agencies on Aging / Community Living Connections
Who it's for
Washington's Family Caregiver Support Program helps unpaid caregivers of adults who need care. Through the local Area Agency on Aging, caregivers get a TCARE assessment and tailored plan, respite care, training, counseling, and support groups — free or low cost. Call Community Living Connections at 1-855-567-0252 to get connected.
Caregiver services are arranged by the local Area Agency on Aging after a TCARE assessment and depend on available funding; the program serves the unpaid caregiver of the adult screened here — so this shows as a may-qualify result.
