Overview: 703 Licensed Home Care Agencies in Nevada
As of September 16, 2026, Nevada licenses 703 home care agencies according to the DPBH Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance licensing export. This roster covers providers across two distinct categories, with different service scopes and staffing requirements.
The licensing records show a market dominated by urban centers, particularly southern Nevada. Most agencies concentrate in a handful of cities, while rural areas have limited coverage.
Two Categories: 430 Personal Care, 302 Home Health Agencies
The state roster breaks into two license types. 430 agencies hold personal care licenses as of September 16, 2026. 302 hold home health licenses.
Only 29 agencies maintain dual licenses for both categories. Most providers choose one service model and stick with it.
Personal care agencies help with daily living activities. Home health agencies deliver skilled clinical services like nursing and therapy. The Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health sets different requirements for each license type.
Geographic Distribution: Where Nevada’s Agencies Operate
Las Vegas dominates the state roster with 552 licensed agencies. That represents 78.5% of all providers on the roster.
Henderson ranks second with 53 agencies. Reno has 40, making it the third largest market. North Las Vegas follows with 30 agencies as of September 16, 2026.
After the top four cities, the numbers drop sharply. Carson City has six agencies. Mesquite has four. Pahrump and Sparks each have three. Elko has two, and Spring Valley has one.
The geographic concentration means families outside metro Las Vegas often have far fewer options. Rural residents may need to look at agencies willing to travel from larger cities.
Most Common Services: Therapy Leads Endorsement List
Physical therapy is the most endorsed service among licensed home health agencies. 288 providers offer it as of September 16, 2026.
The top five endorsed services all fall into therapy or clinical categories. Occupational therapy appears on 282 agency licenses. Medical social worker services show up on 273 licenses. Speech therapy has 269 endorsements, and skilled nursing has 258.
Home health aide services, closer to personal care tasks, appear on 255 licenses. The gap narrows between clinical and supportive services at this rank.
Further down the list, nutritional guidance appears on 78 licenses. 64 agencies are certified as intermediary service organizations. 26 hold endorsements for pharmaceutical services, specifically home infusion.
What This Means for Families Seeking Home Care
The licensing records show a large market with clear patterns. Most agencies operate in Clark County. Most home health providers emphasize therapy services over other endorsements.
Families should verify current licenses directly with the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health before hiring. The regulatory agency maintains the official roster and handles complaints.
Check what services an agency actually endorses. An agency with 10 endorsements may not offer the specific service you need, even if it holds a home health license.
In rural Nevada, expect fewer local options. You may need an agency willing to send staff on longer drives, which can affect scheduling flexibility.
For questions about what license type or endorsements a situation requires, contact the Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance. They can explain the regulatory requirements that apply to your circumstances.
