Alaska: CMS Rating Breakdown
Alaska operates 20 CMS-certified nursing homes with an average Five-Star overall rating of 3.2 out of 5 stars according to current federal figures. The facilities are distributed across three ownership categories: 6 for-profit operators, 8 nonprofit organizations, and 6 government-run homes.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a broad indicator of facility performance but has documented limitations. A statewide average does not constitute a judgment on any individual facility and should not be treated as medical, financial, or legal guidance. When making decisions about a specific nursing home, stakeholders should consult the facility's dedicated Care Compare profile and per-facility pages on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services website for detailed, 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.

Informational only — not medical, financial, or legal advice. Senior Care by State reports official CMS Five-Star Quality data, which is a relative measure with documented limitations — not a recommendation or a guarantee that any facility is right for you. Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here. For medical, financial, or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
