Nevada is a popular destination for seniors and retirees depending on where you live. Nevada is a state of extremes in a way. On one hand, there are the larger, glitzy cities that offer many attractive characteristics if you are of retirement age. Reno and Las Vegas certainly offer the warm
weather, abundant sunshine, and of course, plenty of activities as well as top-notch health-care services. On the other hand, Nevada is made up mostly of remote, rural areas, dotted with very small towns and limited amenities. These areas can prove to be challenging in terms of offering adequate assisted living services, senior care or caregiving support.
Fortunately, families have places they can turn for help that is sponsored by the state, as well as the federal government. A recommended first-stop if you are seeking help, or have questions regarding senior care or aging issues is the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, and their Aging & Disability Services Division. Here you will find thorough information and services for just about any senior-related issue, including: Help for Caregivers; A list of Nevada’s senior centers, by county Waiver for the Elderly in Adult Residential Care (WEARC); LTC Ombudsman information; State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) and much more.
