state of nevada department of aging and disability services

Here's my experience with the HCBW program run by this Nevada agency. Draw your own conclusion. In early January 2019, I requested an Elder Protective Services investigation into this social services program geared for the elderly. My former tenant, a frail 94-year-old man who had undergone surgery for a hip fracture months before, was left without caregiver supervision, without hot food, and without a public guardian payee to manage his bills and banking -- this for about 10 days. He had been accepted into the Home and Community Based Program months before and had an assigned licensed social worker. As his landlady, I notified his social worker and her supervisor that he was unsupervised against his doctor's orders, initiated Meals on Wheels for him, submitted a referral to get him a public guardian payee, called 311 and requested a police welfare check, and requested an EPS investigation. My former tenant fell and is now permanently in a nursing home. The Aging Dept social workers are still employed and never bothered to help. The EPS rep said the published report is confidential ... so there is no transparency regarding corrective action. Beware! This agency and program often do NOT protect or advocate for the elderly.
