Henderson’s Home Care Market: 53 Licensed Agencies
Henderson has 53 licensed home care agencies as of September 16, 2026, according to the Nevada Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance licensing export. These agencies provide non-hospital services ranging from help with daily activities to skilled medical care at home.
The state maintains public licensing records for all agencies authorized to deliver home care in Nevada. Families searching for services in Henderson can verify any provider’s license status directly with HCQC.
How Henderson Compares to Other Nevada Cities
Henderson ranks second in Nevada for licensed home care agencies. Las Vegas leads by a wide margin with 552 agencies, while Henderson’s 53 puts it ahead of Reno at 40 and North Las Vegas at 30 as of September 16, 2026.
Carson City has 6 licensed agencies, Mesquite 4, and Pahrump 3. The state roster shows 703 licensed agencies in total across all cities.
Personal Care vs. Home Health: The Two License Types
Nevada issues two distinct home care license categories. Personal-care agencies help with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. Home-health agencies provide medical services requiring clinical staff.
Statewide, 430 agencies hold personal-care licenses and 302 hold home-health licenses as of September 16, 2026. A smaller group of 29 agencies carries both license types, allowing them to offer the full range of care services under one roof.
Families should confirm which license type matches their needs. Personal care does not include medical procedures, while home health requires physician orders for services.
Most Common Services Licensed Statewide
Physical Therapy appears as the most common service endorsement, with 288 agencies statewide authorized to provide it as of September 16, 2026. The five most commonly endorsed services are Physical Therapy (288), Occupational Therapy (282), Medical Social Worker (273), Speech Therapy (269), and Skilled Nursing (258).
These endorsements appear on home-health licenses. Each one requires specific staffing credentials and supervision standards. Not every agency offers every service, even within the home-health category.
Home Health Aide ranks sixth at 255 agencies. Nutritional Guidance appears less frequently at 78, and 64 agencies are certified as intermediary service organizations that connect clients with self-directed care workers.
Finding Licensed Providers: What These Numbers Tell Families
The roster information gives families a starting point but not a recommendation. License status confirms an agency meets minimum state requirements. It does not measure quality, responsiveness, or whether a specific provider fits a family’s situation.
Contact HCQC directly to verify a license before signing contracts. Ask about the specific services the agency is endorsed to provide. Check whether the license type matches the care needed, since personal care and home health serve different functions.
Henderson’s 53 agencies offer families options, but the right match depends on individual circumstances. The home care directory provides searchable access to licensed providers across Nevada.
