About the Resident Councils of Washington

The Resident Councils of Washington (RCW) is an education and service organization serving all long term care residents in Washington State. Resident Councils of Washington has been working with the residents of nursing homes and assisted living (boarding) homes since 1978.

The Resident Councils of Washington is the only independent, consumer-based membership, non-profit organization in Washington State committed:

To promote quality of life for all residents of residential care settings in Washington State.

To educate, consult and promote quality of life issues and needs of the stakeholders in residential care communities

To advocate for residents' rights, needs, interests and priorities. Residents have rights and the rights of residents are protected by federal law in long term care facilities.

Although residents have services available in long term care facilities, many have limited services available to continue to be a contributing member to society.

Many residents although limited by their physical abilities, still desire and need the opportunity to actively contribute to their quality of living. Many would like to expand their leisure time choices to be an advocate for themselves and the other 80% that cannot. Many are looking to attain their highest level of life satisfaction. Many simply would like the opportunity to make a difference inside and outside their residential care setting.

Washington State is not unlike every state in the United States. Every state has residents that yearn to make a difference, network with friends, and learn from others. Let us help you start your own state resident council and promote change now. Let us give the future long-term care residents the opportunity to continue to live and contribute.

Resident Councils of Washington is a not for profit corporation, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 501(c)3. As a result, your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted under Federal law when computing your Federal income tax. If you have any questions regarding the tax deductibility of your donation, please consult your tax adviser.
