Paying for Assisted Living in Olympia

Olympia’s median fee of $4,805 is $305 more per month than the U.S. average but is significantly more affordable than Washington’s norm of $6,000. Seniors may find costlier and more affordable facilities in Olympia, as multiple factors determine fees, particularly location and amenities provided. 

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Olympia

Seniors looking for financial assistance for assisted living in Olympia can apply through three Medicaid programs: the Medicaid Personal Care (MPC) program, the Community First Choice Option (CFCO) program and the Washington Medical COPES (Community Options Program Entry System) Waiver, Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Medicaid Waiver. These programs provide financial support for personal care assistance and costs other than room and board.

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

More Ways to Pay for Assisted Living

While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:

  • Life Insurance Policy
  • Long-Term Care Insurance
  • Reverse Mortgage
