Personal Care Services Self-Directed Model
The Personal Care Services Self-Directed Model provides assistance and support for persons with disabilities living independently in their homes. Ongoing services are subject to annual reassessment and require a functional assessment by a Nevada Medicaid-certified physical or occupational therapist.
Questions that decide eligibility
GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:
- 01
Does the person receiving care live in Nevada?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
What counts as a qualifying disability or level of care need, and what documentation shows it?
- 03
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 04
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 05
Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name.
Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- 06
What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- 07
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
