What to Consider About Assisted Living in Gardnerville

The Bureau of Healthcare Quality and Compliance, which operates under the provisions of the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, licenses all assisted living facilities in Gardnerville and the rest of the state. This department oversees service planning, staff screening and training and safety measures, and it follows up on complaints of substandard care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Gardnerville

  • Carson Valley Medical Center, located in Gardnerville proper, serves as a state-accredited 23-bed hospital. This hospital specializes in rehabilitation, orthopedics and respiratory care, and it houses the Vitality for Life Program, which helps seniors address age-related conditions, such as poor sleep quality, chronic pain and depression. It also provides telemedicine services, allowing assisted living residents to obtain basic health care services from the comfort of their apartments.
  • Douglas County, where Gardnerville sits, ranks as one of the healthiest communities in the state and nation, indicating a therapeutic environment for assisted living residents and those managing chronic health conditions. Its rate of preventable hospitalizations averages 1,334 stays per 100,000 Medicare patients, about half the state and national norms, which points to high-quality outpatient solutions. It also has one of the highest flu vaccination rates in the state, with 44% of seniors getting the annual flu shot, helping to reduce the spread of illness in assisted living facilities. 
  • Gardnerville scores 129.3 points on a cost of living index based on a national score of 100, indicating relatively high living expenses. In general, residents spend 9% more on health care, 4% more on groceries and 76% more on housing here than in a typical U.S. city. Fortunately, assisted living facilities often have all-inclusive pricing, helping seniors budget monthly expenses and many accept payments from the state’s Assisted Living Waiver.
  • Gardnerville sees about 11 crimes per 1,000 residents yearly, and both property-related and violent offenses occur at a considerably lower rate here than in a typical Nevada or U.S. city. For those with safety concerns, assisted living facilities in neighborhoods such as Ruhenstroth/Fish Springs, Centerville and Gardnerville Ranchos North, where crime rarely occurs, may be attractive options.
  • Nevada doesn’t have a state income tax, so seniors only pay federal taxes on their retirement income, regardless of its source. This benefit may help seniors afford assisted living expenses in Gardnerville. Nevada also exempts certain purchases from sales tax, including durable medical equipment, prescription drugs and groceries.
