Nursing Homes in Alaska
20 nursing homes in Alaska — 20 independently graded on public safety, staffing and enforcement records. No facility pays for placement.
How these grades work. Every grade is computed from a fixed public rubric — safety inspections, staffing, clinical outcomes, enforcement actions and financial stability — using government data. No facility can pay to change its grade or placement. Providers with under 30% rubric coverage are shown as "Listed" with no letter grade rather than pretending thin data is comparable. Read the full methodology.
What this costs. A nursing-home bed in Alaska runs a median $915/day semi-private (private-room median not reported for Alaska) — national: $315 · $355. Medicare covers only short rehab stays (up to 100 days); long-term stays are private pay until savings spend down to Medicaid. In the tables below, the Price column ($–$$$$$) ranks each facility's reported charges from its own federal cost report, lowest to highest fifth within Alaska. Market medians: CareScout Cost of Care Survey 2025 (collected July–November 2025), state-level — individual providers vary widely around a median.
