EASTER SEALS NEVADA - LOSSE ROAD

Easter Seals Nevada (ESN) recognizes that seniors are a valuable part of our community and should receive every service possible to keep them healthy, independent and productive members of the community ESN adult day services, in-home support and services, technology services, and respite services help seniors to live as independently as possible for as long as possible. The ESN family of services is ever-expanding to meet needs and promote wellness, independence and connectivity among the growing number of older Americans. In-Home Support & Services: ESN in-home services provide support to seniors to allow them the freedom of living independently and the gratification and self-respect that comes from being a contributing member of the community. The number of hours and types of services are determined upon intake with an individualized plan developed for each person.

Easter Seals Nevada makes much needed respite care possible for the families of individuals with disabilities using a simple voucher-reimbursement system. An approved family receives vouchers from Easter Seals for a specified dollar amount; it is the responsibility of the family to locate and arrange for services. Unlike other respite programs; however, the Easter Seals respite program does not limit the family to use services only from licensed respite care providers. The family may choose anyone they wish to provide the respite care including family, neighbors or day care facilities. After services are received, the family submits the voucher and proof of services to Easter Seals for reimbursement. In collaboration with respite providers in northern and rural Nevada, the Easter Seals voucher reimbursement program is now available statewide. The voucher-reimbursement program is open to families of a person with a disability, as long as respite services are not being provided for the family already through another program. Applicants who are currently on the Desert Regional Center waiting list and are not yet receiving services are considered eligible for the Easter Seals Nevada voucher-reimbursement program. Easter Seals Nevada will mail out an intake form upon request to an interested applicant. The applicant must complete the form, attaching formal documentation of the disability (e.g. Individual Education Plan or Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation certification or doctor's statement) and return to Easter Seals. Once an application has been approved, services may begin immediately.
