Encouraging an active lifestyle is essential for ensuring the well-being and vitality of seniors. 

At KWA, we strive to promote the health and welfare of seniors through our diverse range of programs and activities, which provide support for their physical, mental, and emotional needs. 

Our Senior Wellness Programs including but not limited to:

Programs in King County Only

Caregiver Connections and Support

Funding for investment in this program is provided by the King County Veterans, Seniors, and Human Services Levy (VSHSL) managed by the Adult Services Division (ASD) of King County’s Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS).

The purpose of this strategy, SE 4: Caregiver Connections and Support, is to provide
services and resources for Family Caregivers of Seniors and Adults with Disabilities in
King County. Family Caregivers are often working in paid employment, while
simultaneously raising children and caring for relatives; others are spouses or partners
who themselves are aging and may be physically and mentally challenged to provide the
required care without support and help. This strategy aims to reduce burnout, isolation,
and stress associated with caregiving by increasing access to connections and support.
Through the services provided through this strategy, Family Caregivers sustain their role
as caregivers and improve the quality of life for both them and the individuals for whom they
provide care.

Participant Eligibility and Focus Population

Eligible participants are Family Caregivers of Seniors living in King County, particularly
low-income, Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
