Visiting Angels

Visiting Angels is a homecare agency serving Reno, Nevada and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.

Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In Nevada, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health and generally must maintain a Home Care Agency License or Referral Agency Permit. Nevada requires licensure or permit depending on business model.

Payment Options: In Nevada, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like Home and Community Based Waiver for the Frail Elderly. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact Nevada Division of Health Care Financing and Policy or visit https://dhcfp.nv.gov/ to learn about eligibility and how to apply.

When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health for more information about homecare services in Nevada.

Licensing requirements and regulations may change. We recommend verifying current requirements directly with your state's licensing agency.
