Hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming, the bathroom, and getting around.
Who it is for: Someone whose independence is limited by the physical acts of daily life rather than by memory or medical complexity.
What to know before you call anyone
This is what the license is actually for
Nevada licenses this category as an “Agency to Provide Personal Care Services in the Home” for a reason: assistance with activities of daily living is the statutory core of the service. Everything else an agency advertises sits around this.
Bathing is where dignity and safety collide
It is the task families most want help with and the one the person receiving care most often resists. Same caregiver, same day, same time, and a caregiver who narrates what they are about to do — those three things resolve most refusals. Ask a prospective agency how they handle a client who says no to a shower. If the answer is “we document it and move on,” keep looking.
Transfers are a training question, not a strength question
If two people are needed for a safe transfer, one caregiver is not a solution regardless of how capable they are. Ask directly whether the assessment found a one-person or two-person transfer, and what equipment is required.
What it costs
There is no separate price list for personal care and bathing help — it is priced off the same hourly structure as any other in-home care, with differentials. The Nevada statewide median for a non-medical caregiver is $37 an hour.

Common questions
Is personal care and bathing help covered by Medicare?
No. Medicare covers skilled, doctor-ordered home health for homebound patients. Personal care at home — help with bathing, dressing, meals, mobility and company — is not a Medicare benefit, whichever form it takes.
How much does personal care and bathing help cost in Las Vegas?
It is priced off the standard hourly structure. The Nevada statewide median for a non-medical caregiver is $37 an hour per the CareScout Cost of Care Survey 2025, with differentials for overnights, weekends and higher acuity.
Do I need a licensed agency for this in Nevada?
To buy it as a service, yes — Nevada requires an agency providing personal care services in the home to hold a license under NRS Chapter 449B. You can also hire a caregiver privately, which is legal and shifts the employer obligations, background checks, insurance and backup coverage onto you.
