Get paid for caring for someone you love.
You're already doing the work. Complete the required training so the state can approve you as a paid caregiver.
You are already doing the hard work.
Every day, you help someone you love with things that most people never see. You help them get out of bed. You prepare meals. You remind them about medications. You sit with them when they feel anxious. You make sure they are safe.
It is not easy. But you do it anyway because you care. Most people would call this work caregiving. You probably just call it love.
What many families do not realize.
Across Washington, many families are already caring for loved ones at home. What many people do not realize is that family caregivers may be able to get paid for the care they are already providing.
Before payments can begin, the caregiver must complete a state-required Home Care Aide training program. For many families, that requirement feels overwhelming because they are already busy doing the care itself.
A faster path to getting paid.
Our HCA training is designed specifically for people already caring for a loved one at home. The goal is simple: help you complete the required training quickly and conveniently so the state can move forward with onboarding sooner.
Once training is complete and the rest of the requirements are met, you may become an Individual Provider and become eligible to be paid by the state for the care you provide.
Designed around your life, not around a classroom schedule.
Caregiving does not follow a normal routine. You cannot simply leave your loved one and attend long classes every week. That is why most of this program is completed online from home, with only two required in-person skills days.
The training helps formalize the work you are already doing so the state can move the process forward. It does not replace the rest of the approval steps, but it removes one of the biggest bottlenecks.
Three simple steps to move this forward.
If you are already caring for someone at home, this is the basic path from family caregiving to an approved paid role.
Confirm eligibility
Make sure both the caregiver and the person receiving care meet the basic requirements.
Complete the required training
Enroll in HCA training and finish the online coursework plus the in-person skills days.
Become an Individual Provider
After training and onboarding are complete, you may become an Individual Provider and begin receiving payment from the state.
Both the caregiver and the person receiving care need to qualify.
Before payment can begin, both sides of the arrangement need to meet the state's requirements. Many families qualify through Medicaid long-term care programs, but eligibility is determined by the state.
For the caregiver
Must complete the required Home Care Aide training
Must pass required background checks
Must complete onboarding with the state
Must be able to legally work in the United States
For the person receiving care
Must qualify for state-funded long-term care services
Must need help with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, or mobility
Must be approved for in-home caregiving services
Eligibility is determined by the state based on care needs and program rules
In many cases, caregivers can be paid for caring for a parent, relative, or another loved one. However, care provided to a spouse generally does not qualify for payment under these programs.
Convenience matters when someone depends on you.
Families usually choose this program for one simple reason: it helps move the process forward without asking them to stop caregiving in the meantime.
Convenient
Most of the coursework is completed online from home, so the training fits more naturally around the care you already provide.
Minimal disruption
Only two in-person skills days are required, which keeps the classroom time limited.
Designed for family caregivers
The structure works for people who are already helping a parent, relative, or other loved one at home.
Move forward faster
Completing the required training helps remove one of the biggest delays in becoming an approved paid caregiver.
