Medicare Help in Las Vegas

This page covers the City of Las Vegas and the county towns around it with Las Vegas addresses. For the statewide rules, start with Medicare help in Nevada. Henderson, North Las Vegas and Pahrump have their own pages.

It's for people in Downtown, Summerlin, Centennial Hills, Paradise, Spring Valley, Enterprise, Sunrise Manor, Whitney and Summerlin South. Clark County runs those last six towns, so city-only programs don't reach them. The state's Aging and Disability Services Division (ADSD) and Clark County Social Service help older adults stay at home. If a fall at home has you thinking about grab bars, start with the table below. In northern Nevada, see Reno.

Local offices in Las Vegas

Not sure you qualify? Apply anyway, because DSS makes the call and some of your income may not count. If you would rather not do it alone, a Pair Team advocate can help you in one call.

How do I apply for Medicaid or food benefits in Las Vegas?

You can apply for Medicaid or food benefits online at Access Nevada, by phone at 1-800-992-0900, or at a DSS office. Most offices are open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, DSS says. Cambridge keeps 7:30 to 4:30 hours, and the Courtyard closes at 4.

The same form checks you for the Medicare Savings Programs, which can pay the $202.90 a month Medicare costs you in 2026. Once you have coverage, Nevada Medicaid's Las Vegas office is at 1210 South Valley View, Suite 104.

Where can I get free Medicare counseling in Las Vegas?

You can get free Medicare counseling in Las Vegas from Dignity Health St. Rose Dominican, which runs the Medicare Assistance Program here. Call (702) 616-4926 to meet by phone, video or in person. Counselors compare plans and check you for Extra Help. They don't sell plans, and neither does Pair Team. Each fall, Open Enrollment runs October 15 to December 7.

Where are the senior centers in Las Vegas?

The City of Las Vegas runs four active adult centers for people 50 and older. Most programs need the $10 yearly membership, which works at every center, the city says.

In the county towns, Clark County runs its own centers. Cora Coleman Senior Center is at 2100 Bonnie Lane in Sunrise Manor, (702) 455-7617. West Flamingo Senior Center is at 6255 W. Flamingo Road in Spring Valley, (702) 455-7742.

Who helps older adults stay at home in Las Vegas?

ADSD, at 7150 Pollock Drive, is Nevada's only area agency on aging, its state plan says. Clark County Social Service sends aides to people with low income for groceries, meals, laundry, baths and light cleaning. Call (702) 455-4270, or visit 1600 Pinto Lane.

Inside the City of Las Vegas, the Older Adults Home Modification Program pays for up to $5,000 in changes. A licensed occupational therapist visits first and picks what you need, like grab bars, a handheld shower or a ramp. You must be 62 or older, with income at or below 80% of the area median, the city says. Call (702) 229-7444 to apply, or to check whether your address is in the city. See paid help at home.

How do I get paratransit rides in Las Vegas?

You can get paratransit rides from RTC if a disability, not age alone, keeps you off the bus at times. For the form, call (702) 676-1815, and to book, call (702) 228-4800. A one-way ride costs $3 in 2026, and RTC may raise it to $4 in January 2027, the Las Vegas Sun reported. The state's taxi discount for people 60 and older is full for now, ADSD says. With Medicaid, you also get rides to medical visits.

Where can seniors get free food in Las Vegas?

For free food in Las Vegas, start with Three Square, southern Nevada's food bank. People 60 and older get a free hot lunch at three libraries, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Helping Hands of Vegas Valley gives groceries to people 60 and older at its new site on South Maryland Parkway; call (702) 633-7264. From October 1, 2026, food benefits pay up to $306 a month for one person, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says.

How do I lower my power and water bills in Las Vegas?

To lower your power bill, start with the state's Energy Assistance Program. Once a year, it pays your utility for one person making up to $1,995 a month. Call (702) 486-1404, or ask Three Square for help with the form. If you're 62 or older and behind, Project REACH pays up to $300 once every 12 months, United Way says. NV Energy, at (702) 402-5555, can send a copy of any shut-off notice to someone you pick.

Most homes here get water from the Las Vegas Valley Water District. If you can't pay, call (702) 870-4194 before your shut-off date, the district says. City homeowners with low income and a leak can ask the city's Drip Repair and Intervention Program at (702) 229-7444. See utility bill help.

What a Pair Team advocate does

In Las Vegas, a Medicare question often comes with a DSS letter or a home that's getting harder to get around. Your advocate makes the calls with you and follows up.

• Help you apply for Medicaid or the Medicare Savings Programs on Access Nevada.
• Help you apply for the city's home modification program if you're 62 or older.
• Help with the Energy Assistance form, and with Project REACH.
• Help you join an active adult center or find a Three Square senior lunch.

An advocate is covered by Medicare if you qualify. It takes two minutes to find out.

Does Las Vegas have a 311 line?

Will Nevada move my Medicaid into a health plan?
