This growth, along with economic and social changes and the coming age wave, presents opportunities for the development of long-term care community services networks and enhanced volunteer participation in those networks, and creates a need for different approaches to currently fragmented long-term care programs. The legislature further recognizes that persons with functional disabilities should receive long-term care services that encourage individual dignity, autonomy, and development of their fullest human potential.","path":["Title 74","Chapter 74.39"],"source_url":"https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=74.39.001","current_through":"July 15, 2026","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-06T04:11:41Z","sha256":"8d4b5c75301af222fb44fcfb67bd1122512b48b750913cfb1065eed9225f3b35","source_id":"us-wa","stale":false,"prev":"us-wa/rcw-74.38.900","next":"us-wa/rcw-74.39.005"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
