Regulation of Nevada Assisted Living Facilities

The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services oversees licensing and monitoring of assisted living homes. Their mission, as defined by the Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance, is to “protect the safety and welfare of the public through the promotion and advocacy of quality health care through licensing, regulation enforcement and education.”

The Nevada State Health Division provides online, up-to-date reports on facility inspections and licensing, using their grading point system. Each facility is issued a grade depending on how well they meet the Nevada Administrative Code. An “A” is the best grade a facility can receive, showing only small administrative issues. A “D” is the worst grade, illustrating that serious harm or even death has occurred. Facilities who receive two consecutive “D” grades will have their license revoked.

Caregivers at Nevada assisted living communities must complete no less than eight hours of training per year depending on the individual needs of the residents. Within 60 days of being hired by a new facility, caregivers must complete an additional four hours of related training to meet the requirements of residents admitted with mental retardation or mental illness, chronic illness, Alzheimer’s disease and other disabilities. Caregivers who work with seniors requiring help with medication disbursement must undergo an additional 16 hours of training.
