What we do · Serving all of Clark County, Nevada
Skilled care at home, and the coordination that makes it work.
A physician orders the care. A registered nurse delivers it, and a Director of Nursing reviews it. We keep the clinical work and the benefits paperwork in one place, so neither gets missed.
A nurse answers, usually within the hour during business hours.
Every service starts with a physician order and is supervised by a nurse.
Skilled home health is medical care. Every service here begins with a physician's order, and our Director of Nursing reviews every start of care before it is submitted. Nurses, therapists, and aides all work under that clinical supervision, on a plan of care your physician signs.
What this means for you. You do not order or arrange any of this yourself. Your physician orders the care, we build and run the plan, and the most clinically accountable person in the agency has looked at it. The Letter of Medical Necessity behind it is drafted from recorded clinical data — see how your hours are set.
The care a nurse, therapist, or aide brings into the home.
Each of these is provided when a physician orders it, for patients across Clark County. We keep the list short on purpose.
Skilled nursing
Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses provide skilled care in the home for medically complex patients: clinical assessment, wound care, medication management, IV and infusion therapy, post-surgical monitoring, and disease management for conditions like COPD, CHF, diabetes, cancer, CKD, and stroke.
It is the kind of attention that catches a problem before it becomes a hospital stay.
Wound care
A nurse treats chronic and non-healing wounds in your home, including assessment and staging, sterile dressing changes, infection monitoring, and advanced or negative-pressure therapy when a physician orders it.
Infusion and IV therapy
When a physician orders it, a nurse manages IV and infusion treatment at home, including IV antibiotics, hydration and nutrition support, and PICC or central-line care, so you can receive it without traveling to a facility.
Physical therapy
Physical therapists work with patients in the actual home where function has to happen, rebuilding strength, balance, and mobility after surgery, stroke, injury, or illness. Care includes gait training, fall prevention, assistive-device fitting, therapeutic exercise, home safety assessment, and caregiver training, built around the goal the patient names.
Occupational therapy
Occupational therapy is about getting daily life back: showering without exhaustion, dressing independently, preparing a meal. Therapists assess what is getting in the way of independence and address it through ADL retraining, adaptive equipment, energy conservation, cognitive support, home safety evaluation, and caregiver instruction.
Home health aide
Home health aides provide personal care such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and help with mobility, under the supervision of a registered nurse. At Alara, aides are trained to observe and report, so they know the warning signs for each patient's diagnoses and know when to call the nurse.
Medical social work
A social worker sees why a problem persists: the patient who cannot afford adequate nutrition, the caregiver one hard week from walking out, the veteran not yet connected to earned VA benefits, the White Card patient who qualifies for more than the card currently covers.
Our medical social workers run social-determinants screening at every admission, connect families to community resources, provide counseling and advance-care-planning support, and help navigate benefits. We offer medical social work as a standard service, which many agencies treat as optional.
The coordination that makes the care actually work.
Skilled care is only half of it. The other half is the authorizations, the claims, and the benefits families often miss. This is the coordination we run for you.
Benefits navigation
We know the programs that pay for home care: White Card (EEOICPA), federal-worker (OWCP), veteran (VA Community Care), Black Lung (DCMWC), and Medicare. We confirm what applies to you and what it covers, so you are never guessing about coverage.
A named Care Guide
One person owns your case — not a call center. Your Care Guide knows your claim, your physician, and your family by name, backed by AlaraOS so nothing waits on memory. How the Care Guide role works →
Authorization tracking
Our scheduling blocks visits without a valid authorization number, and renewals are tracked in advance. You do not receive care you are not covered for, and coverage does not lapse in the middle of an episode.
Claims coordination across programs
Many patients have more than one form of coverage. Our team manages billing across multiple payers and handles the claims directly, so patients and families never have to.
Consequential conditions and missed benefits
We screen for consequential conditions that may qualify for expanded coverage at no additional cost, and for benefits families are often never told about, such as a family member being paid to provide care, or using the White Card and Medicare together.
Caregiver training
We teach the people already in the home what to watch for and what to do, so the family is steadier between visits and the patient is safer.
The DON case review
Our Director of Nursing reviews every start-of-care assessment before it is submitted, so the most clinically accountable person in the agency has looked at every admission.
The benefit programs we specialize in, with no cost to you for covered care.
When a physician orders care for a covered condition, these programs generally pay for it in full. We confirm what applies to you and handle the authorizations.
This is general information, not a coverage determination. Your DOL Resource Center, the VA, and your physician confirm what applies to your claim.

Tell us where you are, and we will show what your benefits generally cover. There is nothing to prepare and no program you need to name.
