Services Provided

Clark County Social Service (CCSS) assists in securing appropriate long term care for any Clark County residents who are unable to function in independent living due to medical problems. Long term care includes both nursing homes and adult group care facilities.  Requests for services are received from convalescent homes, hospitals in the community, CCSS workers, other agencies who have knowledge of potential long term care cases, families of persons in need of care, or clients applying in their own behalf.

A physician's order for long term care is required for placement along with a chest x-ray no more than 30 days old, a Nevada State Welfare screening for level of care, and an eligibility determination based upon agency guidelines.

Financial Criteria or Guidelines

There are no fees for long term care placement services, however, a patient liability (the amount the patients are to pay from their income towards their care) is established from the patient's available income.  All resource programs to assist with payments of long term care are pursued prior to CCSS providing payment, including eligibility for Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance or self-pay.
