Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Ephrata

Washington has two Medicaid programs in the state that are available to seniors requiring financial assistance with the cost of assisted living services. Depending on the level of care received, seniors can apply under either the Medicaid 1915(c) Waiver program--Community Options Program Entry System (COPES) or the Washington Medicaid State Plan.

Even though Washington doesn't offer a state supplement to Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the state does cap room and board charges for seniors who are receiving SSI. The state also permits family supplementation for services that aren't covered by Medicaid.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Washington page.
