Clark County Social Service — Adult Care Services

Clark County Social Service operates an Adult Care Unit for people with disabilities and older adults who need in-home help or long-term care. The office is at 1600 Pinto Lane in Las Vegas; Adult Care Services can be reached at (702) 455-4270. Clark County is a large jurisdiction that includes Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, and unincorporated communities, so ask which program covers the resident’s exact address.

The Homemaker Home Health Aide (HHHA) program can coordinate help with bathing, dressing, grooming, grocery shopping, prescription pickup, laundry, light meal preparation, and light housekeeping—the county limits the latter to half an hour per week. Contracted private agencies provide the in-home service. Published criteria include Clark County residency, a medical need or disability, income and assets within program rules, and lack of similar support through insurance or another program.

The county also administers or coordinates adult day care, hospital-to-home support through Alternative Health Care, and placement assistance for long-term care in licensed facilities. These options do not share one application: HHHA uses a referral form, while long-term care requires documentation of medical need and an assessment application. Families can ask Adult Care Services which route applies before sending personal records.

Submitting a request does not guarantee that a provider is available or establish how long services will last. Call 702-455-4270 on weekdays to confirm whether the program is accepting individual referrals, who can refer a case, which income and insurance documents are reviewed, and the expected assessment timeline. The county says contracted agencies deliver HHHA, so the assigned provider may be a different organization from Clark County Social Service.

For someone recently discharged from a hospital, the county lists Alternative Health Care as help returning home, including groceries, laundry, prescription pickup, meal preparation, and personal care. The program requires a recent hospital stay, so it is not a general ongoing service for every resident. If the need is time-sensitive, share the discharge date and ask which hospital records must accompany the request; for planned support, ask about HHHA or the long-term care assessment.
