What Medicaid personal care can help with
Personal care services support everyday activities a person has trouble doing safely on their own. Depending on what is approved, that can include bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, eating, getting in and out of bed, and moving around the home. Some related tasks, like light housekeeping connected to the person’s care, may also be included.
How hours are decided
Hours are based on an assessment of the person’s daily needs, and services must be authorized before they begin. The program, not the agency, decides eligibility and the number of hours. Program rules change over time, so the details that apply to you come from Nevada Medicaid or your health plan.
How to get started
- If you or your loved one already has Nevada Medicaid, ask about personal care services through your Medicaid case manager, health plan, or Nevada Medicaid.
- If you are not sure whether you qualify, you can learn about programs from the Nevada Division of Health Care Financing and Policy.
- Call or text Trusted Friend at (702) 660-2060. We’ll explain what to ask for and what happens next, and work with you once services are authorized.
Visit verification
Nevada requires electronic visit verification (EVV) for Medicaid personal care. Our caregivers check in and out of each visit through our app, which records the time and location, so visits are verified the way the program requires.
Please note: Eligibility, authorization and approved services are decided by Nevada Medicaid and its health plans. Trusted Friend cannot guarantee coverage.
