Our Services

Advocacy

Aging Services of Washington is an advocacy leader for long term care, assisted living, affordable housing, and senior living and community services in Washington. We believe in forging coalitions with other compatible advocacy groups, placing long term care and aging services issues as a top priority. More Information

Benefit Communications

The Benefit Communications Program Presented by Combined Worksite Solutions (CWS) is a part of the Aging Services of Washington/AAHSA shared services program. CWS specializes in helping employers recapture lost benefit dollars by communicating and educating their employees on the full value of their benefits; thereby helping their employees fully appreciate their total compensation. At the same time, CWS partners with employers to fight the rising costs of benefits by helping them expand their current benefits at no additional hard cost. This is accomplished with the use of an extensive portfolio of products and services that can be purchased at the worksite by employees and paid for through the convenience of payroll deduction.
