There are Medicaid programs offered by the state of Washington to pay for the cost of ALF services in Vancouver. Eligible seniors may qualify for the Community First Choice (CFC) State Plan or one of the Home and Community-Based Service 1915(c) waivers which are the Community Options Program Entry System (COPES), New Freedom and Residential Support waivers.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Washington page.

In Vancouver, the cost of care jumps across two extremes, but assisted living offers a middle ground between these types of care. Home health care offers the most affordable option at $4,767 while granting seniors access to more medical services than assisted living facilities provide. Nursing homes expand this support even further, but a semi-private room in one costs $14,570 per month as a result.
