<a href="https://www.genworth.com/aging-and-you/finances/cost-of-care.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Genworth&rsquo;s&nbsp;2018 Cost of Care</a>&nbsp;study shows that Tacoma&rsquo;s $4,250 average monthly cost of assisted living is slightly over the national average ($4,000) but significantly less than in much of the surrounding area. Costs in other&nbsp;Western Washington cities, such as Seattle ($5,750),&nbsp;Bremerton&nbsp;($5,720) and Longview ($5,000), more closely reflect the state median of $5,135. Cities located further inland, including Yakima ($4,500) and&nbsp;Wenatchee&nbsp;($4,125), have assisted living costs similar to those in Tacoma.

Note: Senior care cost data wasn&rsquo;t available for Tacoma, so data for the closest area, Olympia, was used.

Assisted Living Costs in Tacoma

Aside from adult day health services, assisted living is one of the least expensive types of senior care in Tacoma. At&nbsp;$9,064, 24-hour skilled nursing home care&nbsp;is more than double the average monthly cost of assisted living. Services that allow&nbsp;individuals to receive care at home, such as homemakers and home health aides, cost more than assisted living care and only cover the cost of care. Additional expenses, such as mortgage payments, utilities, meals and home upkeep, aren’t included in their costs.

Washington&rsquo;s Medicaid program&nbsp;is known as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hca.wa.gov/health-care-services-supports/apple-health-medicaid-coverage" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Health</a>. This program aids low-income residents by providing them with health care services through a managed care plan. Benefits&nbsp;include&nbsp;doctors visits, hospitalization, mental health services, prescription drugs and laboratory services, depending on the participant&rsquo;s designated&nbsp;scope of care.&nbsp; 
 
Seniors aged 65 and older, as well as blind and disabled&nbsp;individuals, may qualify for Apple Health if their monthly income is below $771, while married couples may be eligible if their combined monthly income is below $1,157. 
 
Tacoma residents wishing to enroll in Apple Health can <a href="http://www.washingtonconnection.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">apply online</a>,&nbsp;visit their local&nbsp;Department of Social and Health Services<a href="https://www.dshs.wa.gov/office-locations" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;Community Services office</a>&nbsp;or call (877) 501-2233. 
 
Apple Health may provide long-term services and supports&nbsp;to seniors who qualify based on income&nbsp;requirements and&nbsp;an assessment of individual needs. The following programs offer these services. 
 
Community First Choice Option 
 
The <a href="https://www.hca.wa.gov/health-care-services-supports/program-administration/community-first-choice" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Community First Choice Option </a>provides seniors with&nbsp;benefits such as nursing care, care coordination, respite and&nbsp;activities of daily living, including&nbsp;bathing, eating and dressing. As the aim of this program is to help keep seniors out of nursing homes and in the community, participants can reside in their own homes or in alternate living facilities, such as an assisted living home, while receiving services. 
 
To qualify for CFCO, seniors must demonstrate the need for an institutional level of care, meet the Apple Health income requirements and have&nbsp;no more than $2,000 in assets as an individual and no more than $3,000 in assets as a married couple.&nbsp;

After deducting certain expenses, such as health insurance premiums and medical bills, seniors must have monthly income under $2,313 and assets under $2,000 (individual)&nbsp;or $4,000&nbsp;(married with both spouses applying). To qualify, seniors must also be&nbsp;65 or older or disabled and need assistance with at least two activities of daily living, such as dressing, bathing or eating. 
 
COPES recipients may receive services such as skilled nursing care, home-delivered meals, adult day care and skills training.
