WA Cares Fund provides working Washingtonians a way to earn access to long-term care benefits that will be available when they need them. It could cover most of the need for some people, while for others it will provide breathing room during one of life’s most challenging stages, giving the family time to develop a plan.

According to AARP, 75% of Americans age 50-plus want to live in their current home for as long as possible. However, to keep living independently, most people will eventually need long-term care, which is help with activities of daily living like bathing, eating and taking medications. We will discuss the challenges of living independently as we age and resources available to older Washingtonians. The WA Cares Fund was designed to help Washington workers stay in their own homes as they age and get the care they need. The program is just one part of the state’s work to promote independence and choice for older adults.

Physical activities have been shown to have positive effects on sleep routines, blood pressure, brain health and more long-term benefits. However, a 2018 study found that over 20% of older adults are less physically active than recommended. The WA Cares Fund was designed to help Washington workers stay safe, healthy and independent as they age and get the care they need. The program is just one part of the state’s work to promote independence and support for older adults. Our panel will discuss the importance of keeping active as we age and recommend outdoor activities you can find across Washington state.

Para sa mga tao sa lahat ng edad na may kapansanan, ang mga pangmatagalang serbisyo at suporta ay maaaring maging mahahalagang kasangkapan upang mapanatili silang mamuhay nang nakapag-iisa. Ang ilang oras na tulong bawat araw sa mga gawain tulad ng paliligo, paghahanda ng pagkain at transportasyon ay maaaring gumawa ng malaking pagbabago. Gayundin ang iba pang mga suporta tulad ng mga pagbabago sa bahay at kagamitan sa pag-aangkop. Ayon sa US Bureau of Labor Statistics, higit sa 21% ng mga taong may kapansanan ay nagtatrabaho – halos 7 milyong manggagawa sa buong bansa. Sumali sa amin para sa isang talakayan ng mga suporta at mapagkukunan na magagamit para sa mga manggagawang ito pati na rin para sa mga employer. Sasaklawin din namin kung paano gumagana ang WA Cares Fund at kung paano ito makakatulong sa pagsuporta sa mga manggagawang may mga kapansanan sa hinaharap.

WA Cares basics Miyerkules, Hul 8, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm Magrehistro para sa webinar Live captions will be available. This webinar will be recorded. Most Washingtonians will eventually need long-term care. These services and supports can be expensive, but most long-term care is not covered by Medicare or health insurance and Medicaid typically only covers it after you’ve spent your life savings down to $2,000. WA Cares Fund provides working Washingtonians a way to earn access to long-term care benefits that will be available when they need them. It could cover most of the need for some people, while for others it will provide breathing room during one of life’s most challenging stages, giving the family time to develop a plan. We will cover:• How the program works• What long-term care includes• How caregiving responsibilities impact families• Who contributes to the fund• How exemptions work• How to qualify for benefits Mga Panelista: Sebastian Cahe, Outreach and Language Access Lead, DSHS, Loegan Sargent, Outreach and Language Access Lead, DSHS
