Hello Mary/Steven,
I would highly recommend you speak to a social worker at a senior center near you or have your doctor refer you one from a local hospital. I live in Henderson and only have dealt with housing and social services here. Yet the folks at the senior centers are always helpful. Here's a list of the senior centers in the area http://www.sceniclasvegas.com/senior-centers-lasvegas.html
Since I have been through this several times with my mom, I can tell you that group homes are very limited in the area. The better the quality of care the more expensive the facility is.
If you need any additional advice please don't hesitate to contact me again.
Diane
