Aging Safely at Home in Washington: How WA Cares Can Help

Most people want to remain in their own homes for as long as possible. The right equipment, home modifications, and care supplies can make that possible while helping reduce the risk of falls and caregiver stress.

WA Cares was created to help eligible Washington residents access many of the services and supports that promote safe, independent living.

What does aging safely at home look like?

It often begins with small improvements that make everyday activities easier and safer.

These may include:

·         Bathroom safety equipment

·         Grab bars

·         Bath benches and transfer benches

·         Raised toilet seats

·         Mobility aids

·         Incontinence supplies

·         Home-delivered meals

·         Transportation assistance

·         Family caregiver support

When should families begin planning?

You may want to explore available resources if your loved one:

·         Has experienced a fall or near fall.

·         Struggles getting into or out of the shower.

·         Needs assistance using the bathroom.

·         Has mobility or balance concerns.

·         Is becoming socially isolated.

·         Relies heavily on a family caregiver.

Early planning often helps people remain safely at home longer while reducing caregiver burden.
