Mission Statement
The mission of the Division for Aging Services is to develop, coordinate, and deliver a comprehensive support service system in order for Nevada's senior citizens to lead independent, meaningful, and dignified lives.

We assist our seniors in every step of the service continuum from safeguarding their rights, fostering their self-sufficiency, providing counseling to advocating on their behalf. 

The Division has offices in Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City, and Elko with approximately 200 employees in these locations.  

The Division issues grants to over 70 agencies statewide totaling over $13,000,000 a year.
