Through Nevada Medicaid, Venture Forthe helps the community navigate the self-directed home care model. The self-directed model gives you full control over your in-home care. Through self-directed care, you select and manage your caregivers, set schedules, and direct how your care is delivered, while Venture Forthe handles payroll, compliance, and administrative support. Self Directed Care is part of Nevada Medicaid’s long-term services and supports and allows members to receive personal care and certain skilled services at home. You stay independent with care from people you choose, while Venture Forthe ensures everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
