Home Care in Las Vegas: 552 Licensed Agencies
NevadaList editorial · 2026-09-16
How Many Home Care Agencies Are Licensed in Las Vegas
As of September 16, 2026, 552 home care agencies in Las Vegas hold active Nevada state licenses. This makes Las Vegas by far the largest concentration of licensed home care providers in the state.
The Nevada Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance maintains the official licensing roster. Every agency on that roster meets state requirements for staffing, training, and operational standards before receiving authorization to serve clients.
Families searching for care have hundreds of options, but not all agencies offer the same services or hold the same type of license. The state issues two distinct license categories, each tied to different care needs.
Personal Care vs. Home Health: Two State License Types
Nevada licenses 430 personal-care agencies and 302 home-health agencies statewide as of September 2026. The two categories serve different populations.
Personal-care agencies help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and medication reminders. They do not provide medical services. Most staff are unlicensed caregivers trained in basic assistance.
Home-health agencies deliver skilled medical care. Their staff includes registered nurses, physical therapists, and other licensed health professionals. They manage wound care, IV therapy, post-surgical recovery, and chronic disease monitoring.
Only 29 agencies statewide hold dual licenses for both personal care and home health services. Most providers specialize in one category.
When you search for an agency, confirm which license type matches your needs. Personal care providers in Las Vegas outnumber home health agencies, but both categories have substantial representation in the city.
Most Common Services Endorsed by Nevada Licensees
Physical therapy is the most commonly endorsed service, offered by 288 licensed agencies as of September 2026. Occupational therapy (282 agencies), medical social work (273 agencies), and speech therapy (269 agencies) are the next most common endorsed services.
Skilled nursing appears on 258 agency licenses, and 255 agencies are endorsed to provide home health aide services. These endorsements appear only on home-health licenses, not personal-care licenses.
Agencies must apply for each service endorsement separately. The state reviews qualifications, staffing credentials, and supervision protocols before granting approval. An agency with a home-health license may still lack endorsement for specific therapies.
When comparing providers, check the endorsement list on the agency’s license record. Two home-health agencies may both be licensed, but one might offer speech therapy while the other does not.
Nutritional guidance (78 agencies) and certification as an intermediary service organization (64 agencies) are less common. Pharmaceutical services for home infusion appear on 26 licenses statewide.
Las Vegas, Henderson, and Surrounding Area Coverage
Henderson has 53 licensed home care agencies, the second-highest concentration after Las Vegas. North Las Vegas has 30 licensed providers, and Reno has 40.
The chart shows the steep drop from Las Vegas to every other city in the state. The metro area dominates the market. Henderson agencies serve the southeast valley, while North Las Vegas providers cover the northern suburbs.
Smaller cities register far fewer agencies. Carson City has 6, Mesquite has 4, and Pahrump has 3. Elko and Sparks each have 2, and Spring Valley has 1.
Most agencies licensed in Las Vegas will serve the entire valley, including Henderson and North Las Vegas. Address service-area questions directly to the agency before you commit.
Where to Verify Agency Licenses and Endorsements
The Nevada Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance publishes the official licensing roster online. You can search by agency name, city, or license type. The roster shows license status, issue date, and all service endorsements.
Before you hire an agency, confirm its license is active and matches the services you need. Check the endorsement section if you require specialized therapies.
The NevadaList home care directory pulls from the same state roster. It groups agencies by city and license type, so you can compare options in your area.
State licensing verifies only that an agency meets basic legal requirements. It does not measure quality, client satisfaction, or caregiver experience. You still need to interview agencies, ask for references, and review complaint records.
If you have concerns about an agency’s conduct or license compliance, file a report with the Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance. The bureau investigates complaints and takes enforcement action when violations occur.
