AB 337 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Creates programs related to dementia. (BDR 38-456)

AB 337 creates two new programs to improve dementia care in Nevada. It requires the Aging and Disability Services Division to establish a dementia care specialist program providing crisis intervention, home-based support, and translation services for people with dementia and their families. The bill also authorizes UNLV and UNR medical schools to create the Nevada Memory Network, establishing clinics to train primary care providers in dementia screening, diagnosis, and care planning using telehealth. These programs aim to help individuals with dementia remain in their homes or with family instead of moving to long-term care facilities, with implementation dependent on available funding.
