About Us
Nevada Rural Counties Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) provides well-trained volunteers who assist seniors and others in need with lifesaving services.
Our programs include door-to-door escorted Transportation, Good Neighbor, Companionship, Respite Care, No-Cost Legal Assistance, Farmer’s Market Coupons, Homemaker Services, Personal Emergency Response Systems, Veteran Resources, critical food and medicine delivery and more.
RSVP services help seniors to age in place, remain in their own homes for as long as possible, and avoid costly long-term institutional care.
RSVP
Formed in 1973 to serve five rural counties, it has grown, with strong program and financial management, to include 15 of the 17 counties in Nevada: Carson City, Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Esmeralda, Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, Lincoln, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, Pershing, Storey, and White Pine. The RSVP volunteer mission is to provide meaningful volunteer opportunities for people aged 55 and older with a lifetime of experience, to serve in a variety of volunteer settings throughout their communities.
“I care for my 91-year-old mom who has Alzheimer’s. The RSVP program has changed our ability to complete our simplest tasks. RSVP drivers are kind, patient, understanding and totally professional. They treat Mom with tremendous respect and dignity.”
