Facing increasing costs and decreasing revenues, Solid Ground closed our Home Care program on December 31, 2008. “This was an incredibly difficult decision,” said Cheryl Cobbs, Solid Ground Executive Director. “Over the past 29+ years, we have helped thousands of seniors and people with disabilities live as independently as possible.” For years, Home Care has cost more to operate than we receive in contracts for its services — due to the fact that we have consistently paid our community aides the highest wages in Washington State.

In the fall of 2008, Solid Ground negotiated with other area home care providers and the union that represented our community aides to create a seamless transition of services for clients and staff well in advance of the program closure date. Solid Ground's former Community Aides and Home Care clients were able to continue working together by moving to the following two local Home Care Providers:
