Hello NNSVH Families and Supporters,
As an Air Force veteran, I truly enjoy my work as Facilities Director at the Northern Nevada State Veterans Home (NNSVH) taking care of my fellow veterans and their families. I have met many of you during the last three years as the Facilities Team assists with repairing, maintaining and installing various items and equipment in resident rooms, as well as the interior and exterior of the NNSVH.
We have a great team who works 24/7 keeping the Home safe and secure for our residents and staff. We are also responsible for Life Safety and Emergency Preparedness, while keeping everything up to code and having regular radio and alarm drills with local emergency agencies. We also work closely with all of the other NNSVH Departments.
Our Facilities Team consists of the following professionals:
- Don - Former Law Enforcement
- Tyler - Former Law Enforcement
- Mitch - Navy Veteran
- Sonny - Former Prison Guard
- Rick - Facilities Experience
- Tony - National Guard Veteran
If you need to reach our team, please call the Front Desk at (775) 827-2955 or (775) 418-5058 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., 7 days a week and they will reach out to whoever is currently on-site.
Thank you!
Roger

The Pasha Group
Donates NNSVH Welcome Bag Contents
|
|
Last month, a donation of Welcome Bag items by The Pasha Group will ease the transition for new residents at the Northern Nevada State Veterans Home. The Reno Director, Matthew Kaempfe and a couple Pasha volunteers (Laura Drysdale & Abel Rodriguez) stopped by the home to drop off personal toiletry items, adult color books and more.
“We all felt that providing a gift would be a terrific way to show our appreciation and thanks to those who have served our country,” said Laura Drysdale, with The Pasha Group. “This is just a small gesture to let these Veterans know they are valued and remembered for their service and sacrifice.”
The Pasha Group is a family-owned diversified global logistics and transportation services company, which has served military families in the movement of household goods and vehicles for decades. Employees have been buying and collecting items to place in the welcome bags over the past several months.
