Personal Care Services Self-Directed Model¶
The Personal Care Services Self-Directed Model provides assistance and support for persons with disabilities living independently in their homes. Ongoing services are subject to annual reassessment and require a functional assessment by a Nevada Medicaid-certified physical or occupational therapist.
Eligibility¶
- Care recipient must have a qualifying disability
Questions to ask the program¶
These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.
- Does the person receiving care live in Nevada? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- What counts as a qualifying disability or level of care need, and what documentation shows it?
- Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. — Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
