About Us

Our Senior Population

We have over 7,500 elderly residents age 60-plus in Douglas County, Nevada—many are 65 and older, living in isolation, and have disabilities such as immobility, blindness, or hard of hearing.  Isolation and cognitive decline make our seniors vulnerable to situations of crisis, such as

  • depression
  • neglected or exploited
  • lack of food or money
  • unable to access health care
  • transportation issues

We strive to find those seniors and bring them resources so we may protect them. If you know of someone who can benefit from our program please contact us at (775) 783-6461.

Client Referral to our Program

If you see someone who has trouble taking care of him or herself, contact us at (775) 783-6461. If there is an emergency, call 911.

Step 2. 

Upon completion of the application, ask how to get fingerprinted and background checked.


Step 3. 

This process will take approximately 2 weeks; you will be notified by the Good Neighbor team.


Raising Awareness of Elder Abuse

In addition to the  training provided to our volunteers, we provide presentations to groups interested in making a difference to leaders in their community.
