In Olympia, Washington, the state Department of Social Services and Health Services (DSHS) has proposed inflation adjustments to the maximum amounts the WA Cares long-term care program will pay for ap
The four proposed maximum rates are: adult family homes, from $473 to $492 per day; assisted living, from $562 to $584 per day; memory care, from $624 to $649 per day; and nursing homes, from $556 to $579 per day.
The figures are WA Cares maximum payment rates, not Medicaid reimbursement rates. The final adopted rule will determine whether any of the proposed rates change. Separately, the state Office of the Insurance Commissioner is developing rules for a new actuarial review process for continuing care retirement communities offering Type A, or life care, contracts, under a different proceeding.
