What to Consider About Assisted Living in Fernley

Fernley, Nevada, is known as The Crossroads due to the I-80 and highways 95 and 50 trisecting right in the city. Along with the beautiful natural landmarks and outdoor activities available, seniors also have access to two Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) within city limits. These facilities provide personal care and supervision to elderly residents in a home-like setting. Staff assist with daily living activities in addition to medication management and storage. Throughtout Nevada, ALFs are regulated by the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH).
