VA Home Health Care for Veterans

in Las Vegas, Nevada

Alara is currently enrolling as a VA Community Care Network provider for Region 4. If you are a veteran in Southern Nevada who needs skilled home health care, join our waitlist and we will contact you as soon as we are accepting VA patients — which we expect to be this fall.

What to Expect

What Is the VA Community Care Network (CCN)?

Why Providers Choose Alara

VA authorizes care. We handle everything else. Most veterans pay nothing out of pocket.

What makes Alara different is simple: we don’t just complete visits — we actively work to keep veterans out of the hospital and safely at home.

Alara Home Care is currently in the credentialing process for region 4 and will take new VA patients as soon as possible.

The VA Community Care Network connects eligible veterans with trusted providers in their local community when care can’t be delivered quickly enough through a VA facility — or when receiving care at home is the better option.

Alara Home Care is currently credentialing through TriWest Healthcare Alliance, serving VA CCN Region 4, including Nevada.

To receive care through Alara, veterans need:

  • Enrollment in the VA health care system

  • A VA referral or authorization

  • A physician or VA provider order

Once we receive authorization, we move quickly.

Most patients are seen within 48–72 hours.

We handle scheduling, coordination, and clinical staffing so VA teams don’t have to chase follow-ups.

VA social workers and care coordinators don’t just need a provider — they need a partner who follows through.

At Alara, we focus on three things:

  • Speed: Rapid start of care, typically within 48–72 hours

  • Communication: Clear updates back to VA teams — no black holes

  • Hospital Avoidance: We actively identify and intervene on risks before they become ER visits

We don’t wait for problems. We look for them early — and act.

  • Have been referred to community care by their VA team

Care Needs We Support for Veterans at Home

Veterans are typically referred to Alara when something has changed — a hospitalization, a new diagnosis, a decline in strength, or a situation at home that isn’t sustainable anymore.

We step in to stabilize the situation, support recovery, and help the veteran stay safely at home.

Common reasons for referral include:

  • Skilled nursing for wound care, medication management, and clinical monitoring

  • Physical therapy to rebuild strength, improve balance, and reduce fall risk

  • Occupational therapy to help veterans safely bathe, dress, and function at home

  • Support after hospitalization, surgery, stroke, or injury

  • Ongoing management of conditions like COPD, heart failure, and diabetes

  • Mobility decline, frequent falls, or increasing weakness

  • Home health aide support for bathing, grooming, and daily routines

Some veterans need short-term recovery support. Others need ongoing care to remain stable at home.

We meet them where they are — and adjust the plan of care as their needs change.
