ਪ੍ਰੋਗਰਾਮ ਖ਼ਬਰਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਵੈਬਿਨਾਰ

More than 800,000 Washingtonians provide care to a loved one. Many of us provide care out of both necessity and love, and do so without thinking twice. Whether you’re picking up groceries for your neighbor or helping your dad manage his medications—you are a caregiver.

If the person you're caring for has earned WA Cares Fund benefits, you can  become their paid caregiver, even if you're caring for your own spouse. 

We will cover how the program works, who is eligible for paid family caregiving, how WA Cares can help with care needs, steps to becoming a paid family caregiver and additional resources, supports and services available.
 

Before benefits begin in July 2026, the WA Cares Fund will work to register a diverse range of qualified providers for each covered service. To ensure quality care, providers must meet minimum qualifications to participate. Once registered, beneficiaries can choose from these providers — empowering them to select the services that best meet their needs within their own communities. 

We will cover how the program works, types of providers that will be able to register, minimum qualifications and requirements providers will have to meet, and how to register as a qualified provider.
