Overview of Northern Nevada State Veterans Home

The Northern Nevada State Veterans Home (NNSVH) redefines the concept of a nursing home veterans would adore. This 102,000 square foot, 96-bed facility prioritizes skilled care in a non-institutional environment. Veterans cherish the privacy of individual rooms, while also having den, living room, and kitchen areas shared with other residents. The “Town Hall” plays a central role, housing facilities like a restaurant, sports bar, therapy gym, beauty/barber shop, and a platform for Veteran Service Organizations.
Overseen by the Nevada Department of Veterans Services and managed by Avalon Health Care Management, NNSVH offers short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, and memory care. Their service model ranges from assistance in daily living to specialized care following hospital stays. Distinctly, their memory care community concentrates on engaging activities for veterans managing dementia. In essence, NNSVH offers a comprehensive approach to caring for America’s veterans.
