• Washington offers strong help for seniors through Apple Health (Medicaid), in‑home care programs, property tax relief, energy assistance, nutrition, and free Medicare counseling.

• Aging & Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) offer unbiased options counseling and referrals.

Your local Area Agencies on Aging in Washington can connect you to free case management, meals, and emergency funding.
