The navigation buttons located on the left side represent the main sections of NevadaCareConnection. Drop-down menus will appear as the cursor hovers over them. Simply click on the title to go to that section.

There are three ways to search the NevadaCareConnection website:

The SEARCH boxes located at the top use a keyword to find information located within each section of the website. The drop-down menu contains a specific area of the website such as Resources; General Information for all areas except Resources; the entire Announcements section; Events, Classes, Programs and Support Groups individually listed under Announcements; Tips & Tools and the Glossary. A heading must be selected for the desired area of the website, otherwise the Resource section is selected by default.

Find Local or State Resources in a geographical location by clicking on the FIND A RESOURCE navigation button located on the left.

The resources are the main focus of the NevadaCareConnection website. The county resources database may be searched by selecting the FIND A RESOURCE button located in the side navigation menu. Select any combination of Category, County, City or Zip Code and click the SEARCH button.

If no resources are found, the search may be expanded to bordering counties by clicking on the green bar. The Zip Code must match the City if both are selected to avoid an error. Eliminate the Zip Code and/or City fields to broaden the search. Click the BACK button of the browser to begin a new search.

When the desired search results are found, click on the resource title and scroll down for complete Category and County information.

If you are a care provider, the Resource Submittal section contains the form for adding a new resource to the NevadaCareConnection database. The RESOURCE SUBMITTAL button is located at the bottom of any page. Fill out the form completely and click on the SUBMIT THIS RESOURCE FOR REVIEW button. A definition of each category may be found beside the list of Counties and Categories by placing the cursor over the Category name. All the fields marked with a green asterisk must filled. A provider may update resource listing information by selecting UPDATE in Section I, filling out the required fields, then only changing information in the fields that are needed. All resource providers are required to respond to the email update letter sent three times a year. Failure to update will result in removal from the website.

If you are a care provider, the Announcement Submittal section contains the form for adding a new event, class or workshop, program or support group to the NevadaCareConnection Announcements section. The ANNOUNCEMENT SUBMITTAL button is located at the bottom of any page. Fill out the form completely and click on the SUBMIT THIS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR REVIEW button. All the fields marked with a green asterisk must filled.
