Alaska: CMS Rating Breakdown
Alaska is home to 20 CMS-certified nursing homes with an average Five-Star overall rating of 3.2 out of 5, according to current official CMS data. The state's certified facilities break down by ownership type as follows: 6 for-profit homes, 8 nonprofit homes, and 6 government-operated homes.
The Five-Star rating system is a relative metric with documented limitations, and a statewide average serves as a broad indicator rather than a definitive assessment of individual facilities. The rating is not medical, financial, or legal advice. When making decisions about a specific nursing home, individuals should consult the per-facility pages and review each facility's live Care Compare profile to obtain detailed and current information.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.
