What to Consider About Memory Care in Henderson

The state formally refers to these communities as residential facilities for groups, which includes memory care communities. The bureau conducts inspections and investigates complaints to ensure standards of care are met.

Between these two facilities, seniors can access specialist geriatric, cardiology, stroke and wound care. There are additional specialty and rehabilitation centers in the city and other hospitals in the larger Las Vegas area. 
  • Helping Hands of Vegas Valley runs a transportation program for residents aged 60 and over. This service has no cost to clients and can provide rides for medical appointments, grocery shopping and other errands. Clients must be Nevada residents who meet income requirements.

However, seniors with health conditions can save money, as the cost of health care is 7% lower than in an average U.S. city.
