Memory Care
My mom has been in Sunrise Memory Care since June. It was extremely hard to place her during the time of Covid but I knew Sunrise was carefully trying to protect all residents. They have been good about communication. The staff is eager to help when I have a concern. They have recently started activities so I can’t comment about those. When i toured Sunrise I was impressed by the cleanliness and the staff. I would recommend Sunrise if you are looking for a special place for your loved one. My mom seems happy there.
What we like the most about this community is the overall responsiveness of the staff and based on the experience we have had, we would recommend Lumina Las Vegas to other families.
Our family has been very satisfied with the Vineyard Memory Care community . The staff members are very good and we feel that we made the right decision for our loved one. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

Seniors in Las Vegas, Nevada, have both private and public pay methods available to them to cover memory care expenses. Seniors and their families can pay for care by combining these options, ranging from savings accounts and private insurance to federal and state programs. Browse this section to understand private pay, public pay, and veterans benefit options to fund memory care.
The following resources can help you understand the various private pay options an individual has to fund their memory care.
Understanding Nevada’s laws and regulations for memory care facilities can help you find the safest memory care community for your loved one. Look for memory care facilities in Nevada that adhere to local laws and regulations, and are licensed by the Department of Health and Human Services — Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance (also known as HCQC).
Memory care communities are licensed as residential facilities for groups. When a facility is endorsed by the Bureau as a memory care facility, the on-site care services must support memory care residents’ social and physical needs, as well as promote sensory enrichment and outdoor activities.
Here are some other licensing requirements for Nevada memory care facilities:
To monitor each facility’s compliance with these regulations, the Bureau conducts regular inspections. This Bureau also investigates complaints against these communities. These inspection reports are available to the public through the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Provider Search Form. To navigate this search form, select “Health Facilities” under the Business Unit search criteria, select “Residential Facility for Groups” under the Credential Type criteria, then enter the name and the address of the facility you would like to look up.

As of the spring of 2022, the mask mandate was lifted for the state of Nevada and more testing locations were added. The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (also known as DHHS) provides COVID-19 disease control best practices for memory care facilities to follow:
Vaccinations. All staff are required to be vaccinated, but visitors and residents are not.
Masking. Visitors are no longer required to wear a mask unless they have symptoms of COVID-19.
Facility cleanliness. Routine cleaning and disinfecting of all surfaces is required.
Staff safety. Staff must wear masks and use eye protection, such as goggles or a face shield, when interacting with residents. If a resident tests positive for COVID-19, staff should also wear gloves and a protective gown.
In Las Vegas, Nevada, memory care services are often provided within larger assisted living communities. This flexibility of care types on one campus not only meets the evolving needs of Las Vegas seniors, but it also gives residents access to high-end amenities and a wealth of community activities. Check out some features common to Las Vegas memory care communities:
Las Vegas senior care communities often offer a range of senior living care types on one campus, from independent living to memory care and skilled nursing, so seniors can age in place and won’t have to move if their care needs change. These communities also enable senior couples with different care needs to continue living together on the same campus.
Since many memory care communities in Las Vegas are within assisted living communities, seniors with only mild cognitive impairment can live worry-free in the event their memory care needs evolve. Seniors with advancing dementia can easily transition to memory care units with specially designed, navigable floor plans and cognitive therapies designed specifically for their needs.
Seniors who choose memory care communities in Las Vegas can safely enjoy many luxurious amenities for a prime senior living experience. Several communities bring a taste of the popular Las Vegas casinos right into their sites with their very own billiards and poker rooms. Many senior living communities also put a premium on fine dining options — bistros, barbeques, and indoor and outdoor restaurant-style dining options await residents.
All memory care spaces, including beautiful gardens and walking paths, are gated to allow for secure enjoyment of the grounds. Other luxurious amenities often found in Las Vegas memory care facilities include movie theaters, swimming pools, salons and spas, and even parks designed specifically for residents’ canine companions.
Memory care facilities in Las Vegas are places where seniors and their families can become part of a true community. Senior living residents are often encouraged to participate in specific monthly calendars of activities specifically designed for seniors experiencing dementia. From pet therapy to spiritual services, each senior’s well-being is maximized daily. Several communities also have clubs for different hobbies and interests, enabling seniors to connect with other residents.
Some memory care facilities offer family education programs and support to help loved ones cope with and understand Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Nevada is also home to two organizations designed to support seniors and their families. Keep Memory Alive and the Desert Southwest Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association provide education, fundraising opportunities, support, and advocacy for seniors and their loved ones.
