The Nevada ADRC aims to improve access to long-term care (LTC) services and supports for Nevada’s elders, persons with disabilities, their families, caregivers, and those planning for future long-term support needs. The aim is to provide one-stop-shop access to a seamless system of support that is consumer-driven so individuals are empowered to make informed decisions about the services and benefits they need or want.
The Nevada ADRC is designed to streamline eligibility processes with public partners and provide consumer access to a variety of public benefit programs. The regionally based ADRC sites have been established within existing community-based organizations to provide unbiased information and gain public trust. |

Since 2007, the Nevada ADRC provides consumers with access to community-based one-stop entry points that provide consumers with “walk-in” access to specialists. As required by ADSD, these sites at a minimum provide:
• Information and Referral (I & R), • Assistance and Advocacy (A & A) – also known as Options Counseling • Eligibility and Access (E & A) – also known as Benefits Counseling ADRC programs provide information and assistance to individuals needing either public or private resources, to professionals seeking assistance on behalf of their clients and to individuals planning for their future long-term care needs. ADRC programs also serve as the entry point to publicly administered long-term supports including those funded under Medicaid, the Older Americans Act and state revenue programs.
