Assisted living in Rural Nevada runs a published median of $6,990 a month measured for this area, and a caregiver at home $25 an hour. At about 65 hours a week the caregiver alone costs what the whole assisted-living bill costs — the arithmetic, and what it leaves out.

This state does not record which communities are secured for dementia, so no column here can tell you. Ask each one directly. This state does not record which communities accept Medicaid. Ask each one, and ask the state Medicaid office which of them it currently contracts with.

Capacity is how many residents the license permits, not how many places are free.
