Coordination of comprehensive care and support services across community-based organizations and healthcare systems is necessary to achieve better health outcomes which allow for both PLWD and their caregivers to remain in their homes and communities. Panelists will discuss how their organizations integrate healthcare and social services to better support PLWD and their caregivers. They will highlight successful program elements, share challenges faced in implementation and expansion, and offer recommendations for healthcare systems and community-based organizations working to bridge gaps between medical health care and social services.

By contributing 0.58% of each paycheck to the WA Cares Fund, Washington workers earn access to $36,500 in long-term care benefits. After meeting the contribution requirements, when you need care, you’ll get unlimited access to your benefits right away with no deductibles and no co-pays. About one-third of people need care for a year or less, and for those people WA Cares Fund may be able to cover all the care they need. For others, WA Cares provides families with immediate relief and breathing room to plan for future care costs.
