Nevada Medicaid does not directly pay for room and board in independent living settings, but the state's Frail Elderly Waiver and Personal Care Services program can offset much of the care portion for eligible residents. Eligibility is income- and asset-based. Our advisors can walk you through what your parent qualifies for and which Boulder City facilities accept the waiver.

Every legal independent living provider in Boulder City is licensed by the Nevada Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance (BHCQC). You can look up any facility's license, expiration date, and disciplinary history directly on the Nevada DPBH ALiS portal. We only refer families to facilities with active, clean licenses.

Independent Living is for older adults who need help with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication reminders) but don't require 24/7 skilled medical care. Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs) provide ongoing medical care from licensed nurses for residents with serious medical conditions or post-hospital recovery needs. Many Boulder City families start with independent living and transition to skilled nursing if care needs increase.

Most Boulder City facilities can accept a new resident within 3–10 days, assuming the health assessment, financial paperwork, and physician's order are complete. Memory care can sometimes be same-day or next-day if a secured unit has availability. Call us at (702) 802-0093 for current openings in your preferred neighborhood.
