Home Care in Nevada

Does Nevada have in home support services?

Yes, Nevada offers In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS). The IHSS Program provides assistance to eligible aged, blind and disabled individuals who are unable to remain safely in their own homes without this assistance. It is an alternative to out of home care, such as skilled nursing or board and care.

How do I become a paid caregiver for a family member in Nevada?

Medicaid’s Personal Care Services (PCS) program provides services to Nevada residents who need assistance to continue to live at home due to a chronic health issue or disability. With PCS there is an option for Self-Directed Care, also known as consumer directed care, meaning individuals in this program act as the employer of their caregiver.

Self-Directed Care is available throughout the state of Nevada and offers flexibility in not only choosing the provider, but also in determining when and how care should be provided. Family members, including siblings and adult children, can be hired and paid as caregivers unless they are legally responsible for the care recipient.
