Accessing supported living in Washington means partnering with the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA). We'll walk alongside you every step of the way — starting with the very first call.
Call the Washington Developmental Disabilities Administration at 1-800-737-0617. Tell them you or your family member is interested in supported living services. Eligibility is based on a qualifying developmental disability that was identified before age 18.
A DDA case manager will meet with you to understand your needs, goals, and current situation. They'll determine the appropriate level of support and which Medicaid waiver you may be eligible for (typically the Core Waiver for supported living).
In Washington, you have the right to choose your own provider. Tell your DDA case manager that you'd like to work with Access Living — they will initiate the referral process.
Once we receive your referral, we'll sit down with you, your family, and your support team to understand your goals and begin developing or implementing your Individual Support Plan (ISP). This is your plan — we build it around your life, not the other way around.
We carefully match you with a Direct Support Professional who's a great fit for you — your interests, your schedule, your personality. Services begin, and we check in regularly to make sure everything is working well and adjust as your needs change.
We'd love to have a conversation — no paperwork, no commitment. Just a real talk about your situation and how we might be able to help.
We can help you understand the DDA eligibility process, what services might look like for your situation, and what questions to ask.
You can also reach us directly at (360) 733-0214 or [email protected].
We'll be in touch within one business day.
