Helping Our Communities Age with Dignity, Independence, and Choice
For 50 years, Aging & Adult Services of Coastal Washington (AASCW) has helped older adults, adults with disabilities, caregivers, and families find the support they need to live safely, independently, and with dignity.
Whether you’re planning ahead, caring for a loved one, or facing an unexpected life change, we’re here to provide trusted guidance, compassionate support, and personalized solutions.
Today, AASCW serves Clallam, Jefferson, Grays Harbor, and Pacific counties—some of Washington State’s oldest and most rural communities. We understand the challenges of accessing services in rural areas and work to bring support closer to home through local offices, trusted partnerships, innovative programs, and community-based services.
We believe everyone deserves trusted information, compassionate support, and the opportunity to make informed choices about their future. That belief guides everything we do.

Local People. Local Solutions.
Living in a rural community shouldn’t mean facing barriers to the services you need.
Our staff live and work in the communities they serve, connecting individuals and families with healthcare providers, community organizations, transportation, legal resources, caregivers, and other local partners.

Looking Ahead
As community needs evolve, so do we. We’re expanding access through innovative programs that make services more accessible while keeping people at the center of everything we do.
From Mobile Assistance Vans that bring services into rural communities to ElliQ, an interactive companion that helps reduce social isolation, we’re finding new ways to help people stay connected, healthy, and independent.
We’re also helping individuals and families understand the WA Cares Fund so they can make informed decisions about future long-term care needs.
Stronger Together
Our work is built on partnership. We collaborate with healthcare providers, public health agencies, tribal partners, senior centers, transportation providers, nonprofit organizations, caregivers, and many others to strengthen the network of support across Coastal Washington.
Together, we’re creating healthier, more connected communities where everyone can age with dignity and live the life they choose.
Trusted guidance. Local support. Innovative solutions.
