Top elder care planning financial advisors in Washington
The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.
When you’re managing the care and finances of an aging parent or relative, you need an advisor who understands the unique challenges of elder care planning. Without this focus, it’s easy to overlook critical issues like long-term care costs or legal protections.
- Long-term care cost insight. Ask how they help you plan for expenses like assisted living or in-home care, which can quickly deplete savings.
- Legal and benefits coordination. Confirm they guide you through Medicaid eligibility, power of attorney, and other elder-specific legal tools.
- Family communication support. Elder care often involves multiple relatives; see how they help manage differing opinions and keep everyone informed.
- Income and asset protection. Inquire about strategies to preserve your loved one’s income and assets while covering care needs.
Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
