Self-Directed Home Care

Self-Directed Care Gives you the Freedom to Choose

Through Nevada Medicaid’s Personal Care Services (PCS) program, eligible members can choose a self-directed model of care.  As your licensed Intermediary Service Organization (ISO), Venture Forthe provides payroll, administrative support, and program guidance while you remain in control of your care.

With self-directed care, you may be able to choose an eligible family member, friend, or other trusted individual to become your paid caregiver.

You decide:

  • Who provides care
  • When services are delivered
  • How your care fits your daily routine
  • How your caregivers support your goals and preferences

We handle the paperwork so you can focus on living independently.

These services support both Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) and must be approved in advance.

All services must be part of an approved Medicaid care plan.

Choose Someone You Know and Trust

One of the benefits of self-directed care is having greater choice over who provides your support.  Your caregiver must be an eligible family member, friend, or other trusted individual who can be paid to provide your authorized care.

This may allow you to receive assistance from someone who already understands your routines, preferences, and needs while helping you remain independent in your own home.

Who Can Be a Caregiver?

Depending on program requirements and eligibility, your caregiver may be:

  • A family member
  • A friend
  • Another trusted individual

Caregivers must meet applicable Nevada Medicaid requirements and complete Venture Forthe’s required hiring and onbaording process before they can begin providing paid care.
