Snohomish County is in the Puget Sound of Washington state, and nearly 70% of the area is formed of scenic landscapes ranging from beaches to hills and mountain peaks. The county seat of Everett is a hub of natural beauty and culture with amenities such as the Evergreen Arboretum Gardens and the Everett Philharmonic Orchestra, while the county’s namesake city is known as the Antique Capital of the Pacific Northwest. Snohomish County is home to over 822,000 residents, out of which approximately 11,500 are seniors aged 65 and older.
Seniors in Snohomish County have many choices for homemaker services and home health care providers at an average monthly price of $6,670, per the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2020. Both types of care are considerably more expensive than the corresponding U.S. median costs of $4,481 and $4,576.
Note: Home care cost data wasn’t available for Snohomish County, so data for the closest city, Seattle, was used.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Snohomish County area – complete with types of care provided, services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled a list of resources to help seniors and their families access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

Snohomish County Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Snohomish County:
Address: 3000 Rockefeller Avenue, Everett, WA 98201
Phone Number: (800) 422-2024
The Senior Information and Assistance line is managed in partnership between Homage and the Snohomish County Long-Term Care and Aging department. The service acts as the first point of contact between older adults and several aging in place resources in the county. Seniors can get in touch with the service to find out more and check eligibility for programs like mental health counseling, home-delivered meals, in-home care services and transportation.
Address: 5026 196th St. SW, Lynnwood, WA 98036
Phone Number: (866) 937-6565
TakeCare Medicare is a Homage service offering free and unbiased advice about Medicare insurance. Advisors can help seniors understand their insurance options on topics such as Medigap, prescription medication plans and dual Medicare/Medicaid plans. Additionally, TakeCare Medicare counselors can also refer seniors to other aging services such as home repairs and meal delivery programs.
Address: 401 Second Avenue S, Suite 407, Seattle, WA 98104
Phone Number: (888) 387-7111
This senior legal line is a Coordinated Legal Education, Advice and Referral service offered by the Northwest Justice Project. Seniors can call to speak to a lawyer or a paralegal who can either offer detailed advice over the phone, assist with legal documentation, or, in some instances, refer the caller to other legal aid agencies for representation.
Address: 5026 196th St. SW, Lynnwood, WA 98036
Phone Number: (425) 265-2222
The Minor Home Repairs program is managed by the Homage nonprofit and helps low-income seniors with some necessary house repairs so they can continue living at home. There is no labor cost for this service; however, seniors may have to pay for some of the materials on a sliding scale, according to their income.
Address: 3000 Rockefeller Ave, Lower Level, Drewel Building, Everett, WA 98201
Phone Number: (425) 388-7255
This program is overseen by the Snohomish County Human Services Department and assists seniors who served in the country’s military and their families. Seniors can get in touch with the program for information and referrals to state and federal pensions their service entitles them to, including a robust list of services specifically for older veterans.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
