Located in the heart of the Southwest, Nevada is nicknamed “The Silver State” for the silver rush that occurred during the mid 1800s which helped put the state on the map. Nevada is perhaps best known for its largest city, Las Vegas – a prime entertainment capital and the setting for countless books and movies. While the city’s popularity is undeniable and its tourism and casino industries play a massive part in the state’s economy, there’s much more to Nevada than gambling. The natural beauty of the state is awe-inspiring, ranging from snow-capped peaks to expansive deserts, and even Las Vegas itself, with its warm temperatures and Southwestern charm, can be a great place to retire and call home.
Currently, A Place for Mom partners with more than sixty 55+ communities in Nevada in Nevada. A Place for Mom’s Senior Living Advisors can help you find the best retirement communities in Nevada.

Stand-alone independent living communities in Nevada don’t need to be licensed or inspected unless they’re on the same campus as other senior care communities. Any long-term care facility, known in Nevada as Residential Care Facilities for Groups, that provides assisted living services or other types of senior care has to be licensed by the state’s Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance (HCQC).
Many of our partner independent living communities also have an on-site assisted living component. These particular independent living communities may be impacted by the following Residential Care Facilities for Groups regulations:[01]
Visit our Nevada assisted living regulations page for more detailed information on that care type.
You must be at least 55 years old to reside in an independent living community, and you’ll typically rent your home or apartment. In most cases, you must also be fully independent and not require any care services at move-in.
Similar to renting traditional apartments, you have certain rights as a renter in Nevada. These include landlord responsibilities as well as accommodations and modifications that fall under the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA):
