Under it sit three very different services, and getting the language right helps you shortlist faster. ### Assisted living Assisted living is for older adults who are mostly independent but want help with the things that have gotten harder—medication reminders, bathing, dressing, or simply having someone check in. Residents live in their own apartments and choose how social they want to be. Meals, housekeeping, transportation, and 24-hour caregivers are included. For a deeper look at assisted living near Henderson, see our dedicated guide. ### Memory care Memory care is a specialized neighborhood designed for residents living with Alzheimer's, other forms of dementia, or Parkinson's-related cognitive changes. Team members are trained in way-finding support, dementia-friendly communication, and gentle non-pharmacologic approaches first. The environment is warm and secure so residents feel oriented and calm. For more on memory care near Henderson, see our dedicated guide. ### Respite care Respite is a short-term stay in a fully furnished apartment—often a week or a few weeks. Families use it after a hospital stay, during a caregiver's travel or surgery, or as a low-pressure way to try out community life before deciding on a longer move. Care is the same as it is for permanent residents.

A few honest baselines for senior living in Henderson, NV and the wider state: - **Assisted living.** Statewide, assisted living in Nevada typically runs $4,200–$5,500 per month, per Genworth's most recent Cost of Care survey. That figure usually bundles apartment, meals, housekeeping, activities, and a base level of personal care. - **Memory care.** Memory care costs more than standard assisted living because of 24-hour staffing, lower resident-to-caregiver ratios, secured infrastructure, and specialized programming—but no specific premium percentage is approved for publication. Ask each community how they price care levels. - **Respite.** Respite stays are billed daily and vary by community and care level; families should ask the community for current daily rates. Final pricing always varies by care level, apartment type, and amenities; these ranges are baselines, not quotes. When you tour, ask for a written care assessment and a sample monthly statement so you're comparing the same things across communities. ## How to choose the right care level Most families overthink the label and underthink the day-to-day. A simple framework helps: - **Start with activities of daily living.** How much help does your parent need with bathing, dressing, medications, and meals? A little bit points toward assisted living. A lot points toward a higher care level within assisted living. - **Layer in cognitive considerations.** If memory loss is affecting safety, orientation, or social connection, memory care is often the kinder, more supportive choice—even earlier than families expect. - **Decide the time horizon.** A short-term need after a hospital stay, surgery, or a family trip is respite. A change that isn't going to reverse is usually a permanent move. - **Trust the tour.** Watch how team members greet residents by name, how the dining room sounds at lunch, and whether the calendar reflects real life. That tells you more than any brochure. You don't have to figure this out alone. Our care partners talk with Henderson families every week and are glad to help you think through options honestly—no pressure, no script. ## Take the next step When you're ready, [find a community](https://www.aegisliving.com/find-a-location/) near Henderson or [talk to a family advisor](https://www.aegisliving.com/contact/).

Memory care generally costs more because of 24-hour staffing and specialized programming, and respite stays are billed daily.

Many families use respite after a hospital discharge, during a caregiver's travel, or simply as a low-pressure way to experience community life. ### How do I know if it's time to consider memory care? Consider memory care when memory loss starts affecting safety, orientation, or social connection—not just recall. Wandering at night, missed medications, isolation, or increasing caregiver stress are common signals. A conversation with a care partner can help you sort out whether assisted living with cognitive support or a dedicated memory care neighborhood is the better fit. ### What should we look for on a tour in Henderson? Watch how team members greet residents by name and how the dining room sounds at lunch. Ask to see the activity calendar and a sample monthly statement.
