Amanda Witthauer

Founder | Senior Care Transition Specialist | Fiduciary Navigator

My name is Amanda Witthauer, and I have dedicated over 20 years to serving families in the adult family home and senior care industry.

I have owned and operated an Adult Family Home since 2015 (CHOW), giving me firsthand, daily operational experience with Washington State regulatory compliance. I am deeply familiar with RCW 70.128, WAC 388-76, RCW 70.129, WAC 388-112A, WAC 388-113, and RCW 74.34, and understand how these laws affect residents, providers, and families in real-world situations.

I have been a Certified Professional Guardian since 2009, with experience under RCW 11.88 and SOP 406, advocating for vulnerable adults and ensuring their rights, dignity, and protections are upheld.

In February 2015, I was nominated and appointed by the Washington Supreme Court to serve on the Guardianship Board that regulates professional guardians. I currently serve on both the Application Committee and the Regulation Committee, where I help review applicants, evaluate standards of practice, and participate in formulating and refining guardianship regulations. I have contributed to reviewing and drafting proposed statutory changes, including developments surrounding Uniform Code 500.

I teach the Adult Family Home Administrator Course for Spokane Community College, helping prepare providers to understand compliance, ethics, and quality care standards.

Since 2009, I have consulted with attorneys on complex cases requiring expertise in facility operations, regulatory compliance, guardianship matters, and Medicaid-related concerns. I have:

Helped attorneys build facility-focused practices
Provided expert witness reports
Assisted legal teams in strategic case preparation
Delivered educational presentations for WHACA

My professional focus has always been clear: protecting vulnerable adults while helping families navigate complicated systems with clarity and confidence.

Outside of my professional life, I am a wife of 20 years and a proud mother of six children. My family is my foundation. We love hiking, swimming, camping, four-wheeling, and spending weekends at basketball tournaments. Basketball is our favorite sport, and we have coached many young athletes through AAU and traveling teams over the years.

I believe in building strong families, strong communities, and care systems that honor dignity at every stage of life.
