Pershing General Hospital & Nursing Home
Ask which medical, nursing, social-work or referral pathway fits the immediate concern and what the hospital can safely provide.
A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You do not have to solve a whole property today. Start with the next safe step, ask what a provider actually serves, and keep emergency needs separate from longer-term support.
Start here - Fight the Blight
If you are unsure where to begin, Fight the Blight can help sort the situation and identify a possible support path. For clinical or crisis needs, use the qualified-care and emergency routes below. Ask every provider about current geography, eligibility, fees, waitlists, language access and what they can safely do.
A first conversation about priorities, support options and whether a free or funded pathway may fit.
Role: nonprofit hoarding-support conversation and virtual-group front door | geography: online; ask about Lovelock and Pershing County fit | cost/eligibility: ask about current free and funded options | emergency limit: not crisis dispatch or clinical care
If anyone is in immediate danger, call 911. For a mental-health crisis or thoughts of suicide, call or text 988. This guide is informational; it does not dispatch emergency help, provide therapy, promise housing or guarantee a cleanup, response time or placement.
First conversations
You do not need to know the perfect service name before reaching out. These organizations can help you understand the landscape and identify a next step.
Ask which medical, nursing, social-work or referral pathway fits the immediate concern and what the hospital can safely provide.

Use 911 for a medical emergency, fire, immediate threat, dangerous structural condition or other urgent safety need.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Lovelock, Nevada, and includes city, county, state, nonprofit, national, and independent pathways. A listing here does not mean Fight the Blight endorses every provider or can guarantee availability. The Hoarding Alliance is not a city or county agency, therapy practice, emergency service, or cleanup company. We will keep reviewing this page, but please confirm details directly before relying on them.
