Do you or someone you know need to see a doctor? Any seniors over the age of 60 can now receive health services through telehealth services offered through the Nevada CAN statewide COVID-19 response, led by the Nevada Aging and Disability Services Division.
Appointments are available now and there is no need to leave your home.
Nevada CAN offers in-home telehealth appointments to prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and maintain health among elders. Telehealth is the use of phones or computers to connect with health care providers.
Services available by telehealth begin with a comprehensive geriatric assessment to identify needs, and include social work, dementia screening and care, psychiatry, and primary care. All that is needed to get started is a computer, tablet or phone equipped with a camera.
Telehealth through Nevada CAN is set up to work through existing insurance including Medicare, and will not turn anyone away if they are uninsured.
To request services, seniors can call 211 from any phone, or complete a Nevada CAN request for Assistance at: https://www.nevada211.org/seniors-request-for-assistance/
