Nevada Senior Care Research

Nevada state sources

Each care setting has its own license and count

Nevada health facilities are licensed by the Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance (HCQC), part of the Health Care Purchasing and Compliance Division of the Nevada Health Authority. Older pages and the facility search itself still carry the former Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH) name; that name is historical. The counts below come from HCQC's public facility search, which lists active licenses only, downloaded 2026-09-25. They are different kinds of providers and are never added into one Nevada total.

Skilled Nursing

A state SNF license is not CMS certification

HCQC licenses 58 Facilities for Skilled Nursing and 8 skilled nursing distinct parts of hospitals. CMS separately lists 66 certified Nevada nursing homes. HCQC prints a Federal Provider # on most SNF rows; 60 of the 66 CMS nursing homes match a state row by that exact printed number and class. The other 6 are not linked: no match is not the same as no overlap, and nothing is matched by name.

Residential Facilities for Groups

An RFG is the base license; assisted living is an endorsement

A Residential Facility for Groups (RFG; HCQC code AGC) provides room, board, and some personal care. HCQC lists 438 RFGs. Each RFG's detail page prints its endorsements, for example residential facility for elderly or disabled persons (321), alzheimer disease (223), mental illness (184), assisted living services (74), individuals with intellectual disabilites (57), chronic illness (2), medical/bedfast exemptions (1). Endorsements are shown exactly as printed; one RFG can hold several.

Assisted Living

Only endorsed RFGs may provide assisted living services

In Nevada, a Residential Facility for Groups needs the state's Assisted Living endorsement before it may provide assisted living services. 74 of 438 RFGs print that endorsement (6,254 beds). The rest are RFGs, not assisted living. HCQC endorsement guidance

Other endorsements

Alzheimer's disease endorsement

223 RFGs print an Alzheimer's disease endorsement (47 also hold Assisted Living), and RFGs print 3,908 Category II Alzheimer's beds. A facility that advertises "memory care" is state-endorsed only if its license shows the endorsement. Mental illness and intellectual-disability endorsements are separate and are not memory care.

Homes for Individual Residential Care

A separate, smaller licensed home

HCQC lists 145 Homes for Individual Residential Care (HIRC; code HIC). They are a separate class from RFGs and are not assisted living. 27 Facilities for the Care of Adults During the Day (Adult Day Care) are another separate class.

Home Health

State Home Health license and CMS certification are separate

HCQC lists 306 Agencies to Provide Nursing in the Home (Home Health Agencies) and 9 branch offices; branches are not agencies. CMS lists 228 certified Nevada Home Health agencies. 208 state agency rows match a CMS agency by an exact printed CCN. The state and CMS counts are never added.

Hospice

Hospice program and hospice facility are different licenses

HCQC licenses 242 Hospice Care programs of care and 4 Facilities for Hospice Care (inpatient buildings). CMS lists 183 certified Nevada hospices. 147 program rows match a CMS hospice by an exact printed CCN; some rows print notes such as "revoked" in that field, which are kept as printed and never linked. There is no combined hospice count.

Inspections and state sanctions

State inspections are not CMS inspections

Each HCQC facility page lists its Statements of Deficiency and Plans of Correction by date, inspection number, and grade. 809 active facilities list 3,942 state inspections (2016-04-21 to 2026-09-22); the findings themselves stay on HCQC and were not copied. CMS Statements of Deficiencies stay on each CMS profile.

The same pages list State Sanctions: 40 sanction rows on 39 active facilities (Monetary Fines 24, Monetary Fine - First Violation 12, Suspension 3, Monetary Fine - Second or Greater Violation 1). Each is shown only on the license page it came from. The search results' "Disciplinary Action" flag reads Yes for 0 facilities, so it understates the detail pages. Closed and revoked licenses are not in the search, so their sanctions are not here.

Complaints

Complaints go to HCQC; records are not published

HCQC takes complaints about licensed health facilities. Complaint records and outcomes are not published in bulk and were not acquired (request only). A complaint is not a deficiency and not an enforcement finding. File a complaint with HCQC
