Reading Nevada Home Care License Records
NevadaList editorial · 2026-09-16
Nevada’s home care licensing roster lists basic information about each agency that holds an active license. The state roster shows 703 active agencies as of September 16, 2026. Each record contains the agency name, license type, approved services, and contact details.
What appears on a Nevada home care license record
A license record shows the agency’s legal name, doing-business-as name if different, and the license number assigned by the state. The record lists the agency’s physical address and phone number. The issue date and expiration date appear on each license entry.
The record identifies whether the agency holds a personal care license, a home health license, or both. Some agencies hold dual licenses for both service types. As of September 16, 2026, 29 agencies hold both personal care and home health licenses.
Personal care vs. home health licenses
Nevada separates home care agencies into two main categories. Personal care agencies provide non-medical assistance with daily activities. Home health agencies provide medical services ordered by a physician.
The licensing records show 430 agencies holding personal care licenses and 302 holding home health licenses as of September 16, 2026. Families searching the home care directory can filter by license type to find agencies that match their needs.
Personal care agencies help with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and companionship. Home health agencies provide nursing care, therapy services, and other medical treatments at home. The license type determines what services an agency may legally offer.
Understanding service endorsements
Home health licenses carry specific service endorsements that show which medical services the agency is approved to provide. The endorsement list appears on the license record. Agencies cannot provide services that are not listed on their endorsements.
The most common endorsements in the state roster are Physical Therapy (288 agencies), Occupational Therapy (282 agencies), and Medical Social Worker (273 agencies) as of September 16, 2026. Speech Therapy (269 agencies), Skilled Nursing (258 agencies), and Home Health Aide (255 agencies) also appear frequently.
Some agencies carry endorsements for Nutritional Guidance (78 agencies) or certification as an Intermediary Service Organization (64 agencies). A smaller number hold endorsements for Pharmaceutical Services for home infusion (26 agencies).
The endorsement list helps families verify that an agency can provide the specific services they need. Las Vegas home health agencies may carry different endorsement combinations than agencies in other cities.
Agency location and contact information
License records show where each agency maintains its main office. The physical address listed is the location the state has on file for inspections and correspondence.
Most licensed agencies operate from Las Vegas, with 552 of the 703 total agencies based there as of September 16, 2026. Henderson has 53 licensed agencies, and Reno has 40.
Other cities with licensed agencies include North Las Vegas (30 agencies), Carson City (6 agencies), and Mesquite (4 agencies). The licensing records also show smaller numbers in Pahrump (3 agencies), Sparks (3 agencies), and Elko (2 agencies).
The phone number on the license record is the contact number the agency provided to the state. Families should confirm current contact information directly with the agency, as phone numbers may change between roster updates.
Verifying records with Nevada HCQC
The Nevada Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance maintains all home care license records. The state agency issues licenses, processes renewals, and handles complaints about licensed agencies.
Families can contact HCQC directly to verify an agency’s current license status. The bureau confirms whether a license is active, expired, or suspended. This verification step helps families confirm the information they find in the public roster matches the current state records.
The licensing records do not include inspection results, complaints, or enforcement actions. Families seeking that information should contact HCQC directly and ask about the agency’s compliance history.
The state roster provides a starting point for families researching home care options. Cross-checking the license information with HCQC confirms the agency remains in good standing with Nevada regulators.
