Senior & Elder Care in Las Vegas

The metro's large 55-plus population is backed by a genuinely large-scale master-planned community, the state's only continuing care retirement community of its kind, and the state's founding hospice organization -- each with a real, checkable claim behind it rather than just 'there are retirement communities here.'

Every item on this page clears one bar: not commonplace, not everywhere. These are real, named resources with their actual verified designation or certification — not a generic "has a hospital" or "has a gym" list. We left out anything we couldn't independently verify or that didn't clearly clear that bar, the same honesty rule used throughout this site — a shorter, accurate list beats a padded one.

Las Ventanas

Las Ventanas in Summerlin is marketed as Nevada's only Life Plan Community, offering independent living through skilled nursing on one 17-acre campus -- the continuing-care model that lets residents move between levels of care without relocating -- and U.S. News & World Report named it a Best Continuing Care Retirement Community in its 2026 Best Senior Living rankings.
