Billman House sits about two miles outside Winchester, Nevada, in a quiet area close to Desert Springs Hospital and the busy city of Las Vegas, and it's a small assisted living and memory care home that can serve up to six people, in a single-story house built in 1995, on a lot about 0.17 acres with desert landscaping and block fencing all around, so there's privacy. The home has five bedrooms and three full bathrooms, all on one level, with rooms for residents to choose from-main bedroom with ceiling fan and closets, a few others for privacy, plus a family room, living room, reading room, kitchen with tiled counters, and all the appliances someone might need, like a washer, dryer, refrigerator, microwave, gas range, and disposal, and the house is fully furnished, too. You get central gas heat, and central air conditioning, plus fireplaces in two spots for those colder desert nights, although there's no solar power, but gas and electricity run the place, and public underground utilities are in place.
The home offers help with daily activities for seniors who want a small setting-things like bathing help, clothing assistance, medication oversight, 24-hour supervision, and care for those using wheelchairs or folks needing two-person transfers, and sometimes aides stay awake all night. There's transportation help for medical visits, errands, or religious trips, and the meals are homemade, three times a day, with changes possible for health diets, like if someone has diabetes, allergies, or high blood pressure. Residents also get housekeeping, laundry (even dry cleaning), and move-in help, and every room can have a phone. Activities are regular-movie nights, board games, game rooms, pet therapy, music events, fitness and creative programs, steam room, social events, and quiet time in the garden or on covered patios. There's a wellness area, barber or beauty shop visits, a hot tub, and garden spaces, and staff can arrange for a traveling hairdresser, and if needed, there's hospice or respite care, too.
This care home gives each resident a bit of independence with just the right amount of help, so people feel at home and safe, and staff personalize the care for everyone, but the average rating is very low, only 1 out of 10, which is something folks notice. The home is wheelchair accessible and set up for non-ambulatory residents, and there's help with medical care like insulin shots if needed. For families looking for a plain, simple, home-like, small group setting, Billman House mixes private rooms and shared living spaces with enough support for seniors who need a hand with life's basics, but it's important to note that reviews haven't been positive, so careful consideration makes sense for anyone thinking about moving or placing loved ones here.
