It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always.
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort State Historic Park in Las Vegas, NV gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Las Vegas, NV is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“We only used Always best care services for a short time, but in that time they caregivers were there when they were supposed to be and were kind to my brother.”
“Sarah Peaceful, the owner is always prompt in answering concerns and very proactive in getting the right care at the right time for my parents. My parents really like their caregivers and consider them like family. They give me the peace of mind knowing my parents have great care when I cannot be there.”
“I'm sure there are many caregiving organizations in the Las Vegas area, but I can't imagine any of them having the level of service, support, and concern as Always Best Care. Why? Because Sarah Peaceful is a bit of a miracle worker. We originally needed emergency home care services for my mother last year, with short timelines, long hours, and incredibly complicated logistics. Sarah was able to come through every time. Throughout this healthcare journey we have needed ABC's services several times, and Sarah has again pulled rabbits (and caregivers) out of a hat to find someone during holiday times, late nights, or emergencies. Through it all, she shows compassion and true care for her clients - and now that we need her again (of course with short notice, because that's how life works), she once more has come through for us with flexibility and patience. I should have written this review 12 months ago (sorry Sarah!) but though it's overdue I can now say that ABC's services, and Sarah's commitment, have not changed. Thank you Sarah!”
“I met Sarah to help an elderly client of mine. She was compassionate and put my mind at ease regarding his care. Can’t say enough about their services! Professional in every way and they made my clients last days comfortable”
“Sarah and her staff are absolutely wonderful!! They helped me out so much during a very difficult time and I could not be more grateful. Susana, Jaylyn, Tiara, and Brittany are excellent and did a lot for my mom. The entire staff are caring people.”
“Always Best Care has been wonderful. The caregivers are kind, compassionate, and consistent. My loved one loves each one of them. They work to make sure everyone is happy, safe, and taken care of based on individual needs and tailored tune schedules. They are also very responsible making sure that they have someone to cover the times and days agreed upon. It is so comforting to have peace of mind that my parent’s needs will be closely monitored and met!”
“Sara Peaceful and all of her staff have been superb!!!”
“Sarah and her team at Always Best Care have been phenomenal working with 2 families whom I referred. She customized a plan for both of them and it has had a very positive impact on each of the families. There is so much pressure on spouses and children to do something they aren't trained for. The person who needs the help is embarrassed and frustrated and the care giver does their best and sometimes it's just not good enough. Enter---ABC. I would HIGHLY recommend them if you need help, short-term or long.”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Jeden and Tracy at Always Best Care. They were both incredibly kind, respectful, compassionate, and truly went above and beyond for my father and our family. Jeden was absolutely exceptional. Her kindness, patience, and genuine care made such a difference during a difficult time. She treated my father with dignity, respect, and compassion every step of the way. If I could hire Jeden full time to care for my father, I would do it without question. Tracy was equally amazing, always helpful, attentive, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of. Their dedication and professionalism gave our family such peace of mind. Always Best Care is incredibly fortunate to have both Jeden and Tracy on their team. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for compassionate, dependable, and outstanding care.”
“Sarah is sincerely caring and has remarkable insights.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Always Best Care Home Health Services, and especially Sarah Peaceful, the owner/operator. During one of the most stressful and emotionally overwhelming periods of my life, I found myself in urgent need of 24/7 care for my father. Sarah stepped in immediately and went above and beyond in every possible way. She met with me after hours to truly understand our situation—not just my father’s medical needs, but who he was as a person. She took the time to learn about his personality, the dynamics within our home, and even the different personalities of those involved in his care so she could thoughtfully match him with caregivers who would be the right fit. The caregivers Sarah selected were exceptional. They treated my father with dignity, kindness, patience, and genuine compassion. They prepared meals, provided companionship, assisted with bathing and personal care, monitored medications, and kept a watchful eye over his overall well-being. Just as importantly, they supported me through an incredibly difficult chapter of my life. Knowing my father was in capable and caring hands gave me something I desperately needed at that time: peace of mind. Sarah’s professionalism, responsiveness, empathy, and unwavering dedication are truly remarkable. It is rare to encounter someone who leads with both such competence and such heart. I will be forever grateful to Sarah and the entire team at Always Best Care for the comfort, support, and exceptional care they provided to my father and myself. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking compassionate, personalized home care services for a loved one.”
“My family had a wonderful experience with Always Best Care and we cannot say enough good things about the compassionate and professional team who helped my father during the last few weeks of his life. During that time, our needs were almost constantly changing and Sarah Peaceful was able to get all the pieces to fall into place everytime, sometimes within hours. Sarah was always responsive and personally involved. She made sure my dads needs were met and was with us every step of the way. Sarah went above and beyond for us. The nurses also treated my dad with incredible kindness, respect, and especially patience. This alone gave me peace of mind knowing he was in very good hands. We are so grateful for the care, professionalism, and genuine compassion that Always Best Care provided. I highly recommend them to any family looking for reliable, caring in-home care.”
“Crystal, my caregiver is always best in caring for my wife, Yun Bai. Crystal kept an on time record. She constantly caring, maintaining her work by taking her extra steps. She is friendly and very willing to help her client.”
“In my working life I was in health care and helped patients to think about and arrange in-home care for themselves, so when it came to be my turn to be in health crisis, I knew what to look for in caregiving agencies. I am very pleased with how Always Best Care prioritized my goals and needs as I was recovering from a very debilitating episode (autumn/winter of 2025) of illness. Caregivers Shotoya, Margaret, Monica and Ronisha were so kind and gentle but also had a spark of fun in them which encouraged me a lot during this very scary and difficult time in my life. They cheered me on as I did my daily physical therapy, went on walks with me (we talked and laughed on those walks!) There was a time when a caregiver was, at the last minute, unable to come to my home; when the branch owner, Sara Peaceful, was not able to arrange a substitute, Sara came to my home **herself** to take care of me! Her philosophy of fully taking ownership of responsibility for my care made me feel very confident while I was in a very vulnerable situation. I am grateful to G-d that I have recovered quite well and no longer need the lovely Always Best Care caregivers, but if I do need caregivers in the future, I will not hesitate to once again contact Sara Peaceful and Akways Best Care. I encourage you to do the same, whether it is you or a loved one or a friend who needs in-home caregivers. Illness/injury/aging are stressful just by themselves, and Always Best Care can give you the same peace of mind and confidence and optimism that I experienced with them!”
“When I needed home health services 12 hours a day, ABC came through for me. ABC's seasoned team of CNAs/PCAs helped me recover from several major procedures. And no one works harder than service owner/operator Sarah Peaceful. She was always accessible by phone, and willing to do what's necessary to serve her clients.”
“Sarah is a wonderful and compassionate person, willing to find a caregiver that will suit your personal needs. I am very glad to have met her and used Always Best. Thank you, Sarah, from mom and me!”
“I am extremely pleased with the exceptional care and service provided by Always Best Care Senior Services. The team consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism, reliability, and genuine dedication to the well-being of their clients. Their commitment to quality care and attention to detail truly sets them apart. A special thank you to Anita Green, who has been absolutely outstanding. She is compassionate, attentive, and highly skilled in her role. Anita not only assists my husband with his daily exercises, but also thoughtfully prepares his meals and ensures that his personal hygiene needs are met with dignity and care. Her patience, kindness, and consistency provide great comfort and peace of mind for our family. Overall, I highly recommend Always Best Care Senior Services to anyone seeking dependable, compassionate, and professional in-home care. Their team goes above and beyond to ensure both clients and their families feel supported and valued.”
“From the start, once we spoke with Sarah with Always Best Care, our lives have been so much more easier! Sarah is a joy to speak with & she knows her business! She matched us up with Andrea, who goes by Annie, & she has helped all three of us in our household. My husband was in the hospital for 1 1/2 years & is having to learn how to walk again & he requires a lot of assistance. He's now on dialysis & gets treatment Monday - Friday. Andrea help us 3 days a week with taking him to dialysis & back, which used to make me insane because the RTC RIDES that were scheduled for him to be at his dialysis appointment at 9am would come late several times. One time they showed up 2 hour's afterwards! So I never knew if I had to take him instead? Annie would come back to our house to help me with taking care of my 79 year old brother who lives with us. She helps with cleaning, laundry, making breakfast & or lunch. She even pre made dinner for us one day & let me tell you it was very satisfying. ???? Later she goes & picks my husband back up once he's finished. My stress levels have changed immensely since Annie has been in our lives. Thank you so much❣”
“I have been pleased with the caregiver (Tracy) who’s part of Sarah’s team in Boulder City, NV. Tracy has been providing assistance for my mother with her activities of daily living with patience, kindness, and professionalism. I’m looking forward to a lasting, long-term relationship with Always Best Care.”
“Sarah and her team of caregivers were incredible. Sarah was always responsive and was very flexible on hours, days and preferences. Having strangers in your parents house and taking care of an elderly person brings some anxiety and some concern. Once we got a few days “under our belt” we were very comfortable with her staff coming in to the house and ensuring incredible treatment. There was never an instance where “no” was given to any request. Highly recommend.”
“Sarah Peaceful was fantastic in providing 24 hour care for my wife on short notice!!! Her caregivers were very caring & knowledgeable. Her daily follow up was very reassuring, I highly recommend her company!! Ted Millar”
“This company is always easy to reach by phone. The caregivers are the best and have helped me immensely for the past year, after my hip replacement surgery. Both Michelle and Kamee are excellent and did everything I asked of them. I hope to use this service again after my wife has her knee replacement. I recommend them highly.”
“You/your loved one will truly be in the best hands with Always Best Care. I highly recommend Sarah and her team. My grandfather made the decision to hire a care assistant (I’m probably using the wrong term) a little over a year ago and he ended up being paired with Joe who is an absolute angel. Our family is so grateful for the care and professionalism shown by Joe and Sarah. Sadly, my grandfather passed away recently but he had nothing but great things to say about Joe and never had a complaint (that’s saying something because he was a hard person to please). Joe helped my grandfather with his appointments, errands, meals, tidying up and so much more. My grandfather was very particular about his routine and how he wanted things done and Joe picked all that up in a couple of days. I worked with Sarah a lot on the back end with scheduling/billing and she is wonderful to work with. She truly understood our needs before we knew what we needed and would make herself available 24/7 if I needed something. Making sure your loved one receives the best care possible is so easy and stress free with Always Best Care, Sarah and Joe. Myself and my family are so happy to have found them.”
“Sarah and all her excellent CNA’s were wonderful with my mother. Sarah met with my mother and conveyed assurance and compassion. All who came to care and give companionship to my mother were great. I’d recommend Always Best Care to anyone caring for an elderly parent, especially near the end of life. They were a great comfort to me and my husband, giving us peace of mind.”
Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Desert Breeze Park in Las Vegas, NV with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Ocean Prime Las Vegas or visit Fountains of Bellagio, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Las Vegas, NV, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Las Vegas, NV understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Las Vegas, NV 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

The sentencing—announced by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nevada—was handed down at the Lloyd D. George U.S. Courthouse in downtown Las Vegas by United States District Judge Cristina D. Silva.
Court filings reveal that 22-year-old Ty’Shaun Meeks of Las Vegas operated without a Federal Firearms License (FFL), selling tactical-style rifles, semi-automatic handguns, and illicit synthetic opioids to undercover buyers and street-level recipients.

Between October 4, 2024, and December 20, 2024, ATF undercover operations documented Meeks negotiating and executing multiple illicit transfers across the Las Vegas metropolitan area.
Among the weapons trafficked, Meeks sold a Ruger AR-556 tactical rifle equipped with a 30-round high-capacity magazine, along with multiple semi-automatic handguns, to individuals who were not vetted through federal background check protocols.
Simultaneously, federal agents tracked Meeks distributing batches of counterfeit prescription pills pressed with illicit fentanyl.
The intersection of unregulated street-level weapons sales and high-potency synthetic opioids placed the operation at the top of federal interdiction priorities in Clark County under the Department of Justice’s Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) initiative.
Meeks entered a guilty plea to statutory counts of engaging in the business of dealing firearms without a license and distributing a controlled substance.

Judge Silva adopted the government’s sentencing recommendation, remanding Meeks to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons for 33 months, followed by a strict four-year term of federal supervised release that mandates drug testing, travel limitations, and compliance monitoring.
Federal law enforcement leaders in Nevada reaffirmed that joint ATF, DEA, and Metro task forces will continue aggressively prosecuting unlicensed gun runners who bypass federal background registries to supply illicit street markets.

From the pulpit on Sunday, the Archdiocese of Las Vegas encouraged Catholics across five counties to vote no on ballot Question 6, arguing that it would dangerously expand abortion rights.
Passage of the measure would enshrine abortion rights in the Nevada Constitution.
The question would expand existing abortion rights to facilitate late-term abortions, ratify removal of parental notification for minors, and remove the requirement that a licensed physician perform an abortion, Archbishop George Leo Thomas wrote in a pastoral letter read during Mass at churches across the archdiocese’s 34 parishes.
“This question is not whether abortion is legal in Nevada; it already is under a law approved by Nevada voters in 1990. The Legislature cannot amend or repeal that law; only a direct vote of the people can do so,” Thomas wrote in the letter, posted Sunday to the Facebook page of the archdiocese.
“This question is whether Nevada voters should expand the right to abortion in ways that can harm the health, safety, and welfare of women and minors. Moreover, this measure will have grave and lasting consequences for vulnerable unborn lives.”
Denise Lopez, president of political action committee Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, responded with a statement Monday in which she wrote, “Anti-abortion groups and politicians are hellbent on coming after Nevadans’ reproductive freedom. Our opponents are resorting to fear-mongering and lies because they know their agenda is deeply unpopular.”
The PAC, an advocacy coalition, is leading the effort to pass Question 6.
“It’s critical we pass Question 6 to enshrine protections for abortion in our state constitution and make sure that private medical decisions remain where they belong – between patients and their doctors, not the government,” Lopez wrote.
The Nevada Catholic Conference, which includes the Diocese of Reno, opposes the measure.
In the past, the archdiocese and Nevada Catholic Conference have issued a letter or statement when a proposed law intersects with a moral issue. In 2021, they opposed legislation that would have permitted physician-assisted suicide. That measure failed.
Nonprofits such as the archdiocese, exempt from federal income tax and eligible to receive tax-deductible donations, can legally lobby on political issues but not for specific political candidates.
Likewise, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has read from the pulpit a letter opposing Question 6. The church has “long reserved the right to speak on public-policy issues with significant moral implications,” it said in a statement Monday to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“Abortion is one of those issues, and the Church is encouraging members to engage respectfully while recognizing that people may hold differing views.”
A no vote on Question 6 “would keep the Nevada Constitution in its current form and would not impact the availability of abortion as a statutory right under Nevada law,” states a new ballot question guide issued by Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar, head of the state office that oversees elections.
Changing the existing state law would require one majority vote of the people, while changing the constitution would require two such votes.
Question 6, approved once by Nevada voters in 2024 by a wide margin, requires a second affirmative vote in November before it could be added as an amendment to the state’s constitution.
Almost two-thirds of voters – 64.4 percent – approved the ballot measure in 2024.
About 750,000 people are registered with parishes in the archdiocese, which includes the counties of Clark, Nye, Lincoln, White Pine and Esmeralda.
Twenty-one percent of adults in Nevada identify as Catholic, the largest religious affiliation in the state, according to 2023-2024 figures from the Pew Research Group.
Thomas wrote about the ballot question, “It dangerously expands abortion rights. Abortion, already legal in Nevada up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, would potentially be permitted to the ninth month of pregnancy.”
The official rebuttal to arguments against passage, found in the secretary of state’s guide, states, “Women and doctors do not decide on an abortion later in pregnancy unless there is a serious reason, like a risk to her life or pregnancy.”
The rebuttal was authored by the ballot question committee of Lopez, Lindsey Harmon and Bradley Schrager — all affiliated with Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom.
Existing Nevada law allows abortion without restriction up to 24 weeks of pregnancy. It also permits abortion after the six-month time frame “only if the physician has reasonable cause to believe that an abortion currently is necessary to preserve the life or health of the pregnant woman.”
The language of the proposed constitutional amendment does not specify how many weeks into a pregnancy an abortion is permitted without restriction.
“Question 6 has no bright-line rule saying when abortion is legal,” states the official argument against passage. “Is it always legal at 4 months? 6 months? 9 months? Our current law is clear. Question 6 is not.”
The argument against passage was authored by the ballot question committee of attorneys Emily Mimnaugh and Jason Guinasso. Mimnaugh established the Nevada office of the Pacific Justice Institute, a nonprofit focused on defending religious freedom and parental rights.
The proposed amendment to the constitution states, “All individuals shall have a fundamental right to abortion performed or administered by a qualified health care practitioner until fetal viability, or when needed to protect the life or health of the pregnant patient, without interference from the state or its political subdivisions.”
It continues, “’Fetal viability’ means the point in pregnancy when, in the professional judgment of the patient’s treating health care practitioner, there is a significant likelihood of the fetus’ sustained survival outside the uterus without the application of extraordinary medical measures.”
The archbishop’s letter states that the constitutional amendment “ratifies removal of parental notification and family involvement from abortion decisions made by minor children.”
It continues, “Parental consent is required to give a student Tylenol; this initiative would allow a minor to obtain an abortion without a parent even knowing.”
Thomas said in an interview, “I think that right now, part of the strategy for those who are proffering this position is to keep the public in the dark. I think that the whole thing around parental involvement would be a very huge issue for a vast majority of families, and so there’s very little being said or written about it.”
The ballot committee’s rebuttal to arguments against passage states that the amendment “does nothing to change parental rights in Nevada, because we all want young people to get the support they need from those who love them when making decisions.”
It continues, “All this amendment does is ensure families – not politicians – are in charge of their own health care decisions and can make the right choice for their unique situations without government getting in the way.”
The issue of parental notification is playing out in court.
In May, the Nevada Supreme Court temporarily blocked a law requiring parents to be notified when minors seek an abortion, ruling that the measure is too vague to enforce.
Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, which operates in California and Nevada, and an unnamed Nevada physician are challenging the law in state court. The Supreme Court decision blocked enforcement of the law as the case moves forward.
The parental-notification law had gone unenforced for decades but took effect in July 2025. A federal judge ruled that after Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, there was no longer a legal basis to keep the 1985 law from taking effect.
Thomas’ letter states that Question 6 would “replace the ‘licensed physician’ requirement for abortion with ‘health care practitioner,’ a term that could include nurses, dentists, opticians and medical laboratory technicians … and severely threatens the State’s ability to regulate abortion clinics for basic health, safety, and sanitary conditions.”
The official rebuttal states, “When families are making difficult, personal medical decisions, one-size-fits all laws don’t work. As bans across the country are already putting lives at risk, this amendment adds a permanent layer of protection for abortion rights in Nevada so that no matter who holds office in our state, these extreme bans cannot become law here.”
Thomas states in his letter, “Unborn children have no voice and cannot defend themselves. As Catholics, our faith requires us to protect the inherent dignity of every human life and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.”
The Nevada Independent reported in July that Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom had raised $815,000 in the first half of the year for its campaign in support of the measure, with six-figure checks from Planned Parenthood Advocates Mar Monte, a prominent Bay Area Democratic donor and a group founded by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
Opposition to the question had raised $11,700 from two PACs, $10,000 of which came from a couple in Carson City.
Thomas said, “It’s all uphill for us.”

VIA Las Vegas. No, that’s not a typo. Next summer, travelers will be able to fly nonstop from Valley International Airport — also called VIA — to Las Vegas, Nevada, via Southwest Airlines.
VIA officials announced the new seasonal nonstop route on Facebook on Friday, October 2.
“Flying every Saturday from June – August (and potentially more dates to be added!!!)” the post reads.
The new summertime route represents a few “firsts” for the Harlingen airport, which is the only airport in the Rio Grande Valley that serves as a regional Southwest hub. It’s the first time the Texas-based air carrier has offered a flight to Las Vegas, and it’s the first Southwest nonstop from VIA to a city outside the Lone Star State. The Las Vegas flight is also the first time Southwest has announced a new route from VIA since 1985, according to airport officials. Though the route won’t take off until summer 2027, travelers can already book their seats at southwest.com.
In addition to the Las Vegas route, Valley International Airport announced that Southwest is expanding its daily nonstop to Austin from two flights a day to four.
“On peak days, service will be expanded — meaning you’ll get more schedule and connecting flight flexibility,” airport officials said.

With the Austin route expansion, VIA now offers eight or more nonstop routes to some of Texas’ busiest destinations, including Houston and Dallas. This month, two other carriers — Sun Country Airlines and Delta Air — began flying seasonal direct routes to Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Sun Country, an ultra-low-cost carrier, is offering the flight twice weekly — on Thursdays and Sundays — while Delta is offering daily flights to the Twin Cities through the winter.
Elsewhere in Texas, El Paso Mayor Renaud Johnson announced that Southwest has begun flying a nonstop route from El Paso International Airport to Nashville International Airport in Nashville, Tennessee. The flights are available on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, according a news release from the city of El Paso.
