Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Kenmore

Washington's state Medicaid program, called Apple Health, offers financial assistance that may help low-income persons pay for assisted living. Programs include the Community First Choice Option (CFCO), the Medicaid Personal Care (MPC) program and the Community Options Program Entry System (COPES) waiver. Because some facilities do not accept payments from the state, it is a good idea to check with individual facilities regarding their policies.
