Frequently asked questions
Am I eligible for a Medicaid waiver?
Eligibility in North Las Vegas, NV has three tests: (1) medical — your parent needs a level of care equivalent to nursing home placement, (2) financial — income below ~$2,829/month and countable assets under $2,000 (some states allow higher), (3) residency. Many families over-qualify financially but don't realize they can transfer assets with a lookback period.
How long is the waitlist?
In North Las Vegas, NV, waitlists vary by program but expect 6-24 months for HCBS waivers. IHSS in California, for example, has no waitlist but has strict income limits. Apply the moment you even think your parent might qualify — waitlist time doesn't start until you file.
Can I pay family members?
Yes, in most North Las Vegas, NV waiver programs. A spouse usually can't get paid (exceptions exist) but adult children and other relatives often can, subject to caregiver training requirements and the same background check process as any hired caregiver.
