Urgent medical or safety problem?
Use emergency medical services for emergencies. This page is for navigating care options, not diagnosing a medical condition.
Separate the types of help.
01Help with daily activities
Nonmedical in-home support may help with everyday personal assistance, companionship or household tasks. Ask exactly what services an agency provides.
02Skilled medical care at home
Nursing, therapy or other clinical needs are a different lane from ordinary home care. Start with the person's healthcare team and appropriate licensed providers.
03Family caregiver needs relief
Respite and caregiver-support programs may help. Nevada's Aging and Disability Resource Center system can help people understand available options.
04Not sure what level of care is needed
Use a neutral options-counseling/resource service before choosing a facility or agency solely from advertising.
