Nurse-owned home health in Southern Nevada.
Alara is a nurse-owned home health agency serving Southern Nevada. We care for people with complex medical needs, including former Nevada Test Site and Department of Energy workers, federal employees, veterans, and their families.
The idea behind Alara is simple: the way a home health agency operates should make care better for the patient.
Care moved into the home. The systems around it did not keep up.
Families are often asked to coordinate nurses, physicians, authorizations, medications, appointments, benefits, and changes in condition while also trying to care for someone they love.
At the same time, clinicians in the home can see things that may never be visible during a short office visit: how far someone can actually walk, whether they are becoming less steady, what happens to their breathing with activity, whether pain is changing function, and what the family is noticing day to day.
Alara was built to connect those pieces more deliberately.
Built by a nurse with experience on both sides of healthcare.
Alara’s founder is a registered nurse with more than two decades of experience across direct care, clinical operations, reimbursement, compliance, government programs, and large-scale healthcare delivery.
That combination matters. Good home health requires clinical judgment, but it also requires an agency capable of building reliable systems around that judgment.
Federal service is personal, too. Both of the founder’s grandfathers were postal workers, and her parents met while working at the post office. Alara’s focus on federal workers and their families grew from both professional experience and a genuine connection to the people these programs were created to serve.
Serving those who served us.
Founder, Alara Home Care
Clinical judgment is part of the operating model.
Nurse ownership is not important because a nurse is automatically a better business owner. It matters because ownership decides how an agency hires, trains, supervises, measures, documents, escalates, invests, and grows.
At Alara, those decisions are made through a clinical lens: What helps us know the patient better? What should be noticed earlier? What does the physician need to know? What makes care safer? What gives this person the best chance of doing well at home?
The goal is not to make home health feel more complicated. It is to build an agency capable of handling the complexity well.
Clinical baseline
Good care starts with understanding how the patient is actually doing at home, not simply copying diagnoses from a referral.
Recognize change
Caregivers, nurses, and the record should make meaningful changes visible early enough to evaluate and act on them.
Physician connection
The home should give the treating physician useful information about what is happening between office visits.
Program expertise
For White Card and other federal-program patients, clinical care and program requirements need to work together without turning the family into the project manager.
Technology
AlaraOS is being built to support the team with visibility, follow-up, and coordination. Technology tracks the work; clinicians make the decisions. How AlaraOS works →
One person at the center. Every thread, one thing we do.
Every thread is one piece of coordination the family never has to touch — a renewal, a referral, a refill, an update. Some of it runs automatically, some is our care team by hand. Hover any thread to see it.
Alara is independently nurse-owned and based in Southern Nevada.
We serve Clark and Nye Counties, including Pahrump. Our independence is not the point by itself. What matters is what we choose to do with it: build the company around patient care, clinical judgment, and the long-term trust of the families and physicians we serve.
This is general information, not a coverage determination. Your DOL Resource Center, the VA, and your physician confirm what applies to your claim. Alara informs and coordinates; it does not file claims or determine eligibility.
Billed for exactly the care that happened. Nothing else.
This field has seen agencies bill the government for visits that never happened. We put our standard in writing: every visit we bill is a visit that occurred, documented in the care record at the time of care. A Director of Nursing reviews every start of care. The Department of Labor pays us directly — you never receive a bill — and we never take a percentage of anyone’s compensation.
If you ever have a question about something billed under your card, ask us, or ask the DOL’s billing administrator directly at (866) 272-2682. You are entitled to both answers.
Tell us what is going on.
You do not need to know which program applies, what paperwork you need, or exactly what kind of care to ask for. We will help you figure out the next step.
