My mother was in Advanced Health Care of Henderson in a rehab facility. They’re very good, they answer the call light at least. They have very attentive staff, CNAs, and nurses. The facility is clean and they only have 38 beds. They have a full gym so they can do their exercises and therapy, and they have a dining room. They have large screen TVs in each room, they have recliners, they have a small kitchenette, refrigerator, sink, and cupboards, and that was nice. They’re all single rooms. Her insurance paid for the whole thing.

My mother was a resident of this facility. I warn you to never take your loved one to this place. They are incompetent and It should be shut down by the state. Most of the nursing staff is acceptable but the doctors and administration are unethical. My mother was being neglected and not having her medical issues addressed. Only after we brought it to their attention, did things start to get done after several weeks. Unfortunately my other family members had no medical background and could not see the neglect until I arrived from out of state. I am in the medical field and was appalled at their standard of care. I fear other residents are being neglected as well and no one is noticing due to lack of education, they are getting away with this!!

With the exception of a painful few, most employees do not give a damn about their patients. The most recent example is they ran out of one of my medications…the one I have for intensive PAIN! It is supposed to be delivered "tonight", but I am not holding my breath. Instead, I am crying and screaming in pain and frustration!
Further, do not count on getting your medication from an actual nurse; they were "low on staff" so we had CNA’s passing meds so cross your fingers you are actually getting the correct one(s)!
How are the rooms? Like everything else: Falling apart. They also do not have safety rails, claiming they are "illegal" (someone misread that law! They are only considered to be "restraints" if you use ALL FOUR! So, if you are fearful of falling out of bed, good luck!
Interactions with staff: As I stated, they are terrible.
Activities: Smoking, since there ARE no other activities!
No amenities to speak of, unless you consider broken TVs to be an "amenity.

This place is a health hazzard to their patients. My friend was admitted there for rehab. There, he had a minor cut and was treated by a nurse. The treatment was so unsanitary and unprofessional that the patient got a serious infection at the cut. Now, my friend is in so much pain which is so much worse than when he was admitted for. What happened to the adage "First does no harm"? By the way, the patient’s room is filthy.

Life Care Center of South Las Vegas was awful. They don’t have supplies, and people are working double shifts because they are greatly understaffed. They’re limiting the number of diapers you can get and not using any ointment to protect the skin from rashes. It’s totally awful. On the outside, it looks good and clean, but inside, it’s a mess. I had very little interaction with the staff; some of them are good and a lot are not. Some of them don’t feed my friend, change him, or turn him when they’re supposed to. The dining area looks nice. His room wasn’t spacious, but it’s OK, and he has his own bathroom. He’s right under the air-conditioning fan so it blows right at him all the time.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Henderson, Nevada
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
