Nevada has 123 assisted living facilities. Seniors who move into one of these facilities are able to enjoy their independence while also receiving the support they need to stay mentally and physically healthy.
Amenities and Care at Nevada’s Assisted Living Facilities
Assisted living facilities help seniors with their activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing and grooming. They also provide meals and housing with most facilities taking care of the housekeeping and laundry services. On-site therapy and physician appointments are available in many communities, and nearly all facilities offer a diverse range of activities including exercise classes, games, worship services and group outings.
How to Find an Assisted Living Facility in Nevada
Area Agencies on Aging can provide seniors and their families with an abundance of information on assisted living facilities in their area including the care services and amenities they offer. Through the Long-Term Care Ombudsman, which usually has an office at the AAA, seniors can learn about recent complaints filed against senior care communities and find out about programs that can help them pay for their care. For seniors who prefer to do their own research, searching on the internet is usually the quickest and most effective option. They’ll be able to find individual facilities’ websites as well as browse senior living sites that offer comparisons and reviews of different communities.
