Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Alaska

Alaska's Care Compare directory includes 20 CMS-certified nursing homes, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The state's nursing facilities carry an average overall rating of 3.2 out of 5 stars.

The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure, though it has documented limitations. The ratings presented here reflect data from May 2026 and should not be construed as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. Each facility is displayed with its overall rating alongside separate scores for health inspections and staffing levels, providing a snapshot of performance across multiple dimensions.

Prospective residents and their families should recognize that the Five-Star rating represents only one factor in evaluating a nursing home. Location, the type of care required, an in-person visit, and direct conversations with facility staff and clinical leadership all play significant roles in the selection process. Individuals should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making any care decisions.

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.
