Assisted Living Facility Contracted Services

WA DSHS Home and Community Living Administration (HCLA)

Assisted living facilities in Washington are licensed for seven or more residents and provide room and board plus help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and meals. Some also hold a state contract to provide certain service packages for residents whose care is paid by Medicaid: Assisted Living, Adult Residential Care, Enhanced Adult Residential Care, Expanded Community Services, Community Stability Supports, and Specialized Dementia Care. The state Home and Community Living Administration manages these contracts. Some facilities specialize in caring for people with mental health problems, developmental disabilities, or dementia.

Who qualifies
Licensed assisted living facilities that want a state Medicaid contract, and people who qualify for Medicaid and want to live at a contracted facility.
What it covers
The state pays for the Assisted Living, Adult Residential Care, Enhanced Adult Residential Care, Expanded Community Services, Community Stability Supports, or Specialized Dementia Care service packages provided to Medicaid clients in licensed assisted living facilities.
How to apply
Apply for state-funded care at a Home and Community Services Office. Facilities that want a contract should contact the state Residential Care Services office.
