Lights not lighting? Need a picture hung on the wall? McKinley Care Assisted Living employs a full-time maintenance supervisor who is responsible for the safety and well-being of everyone within the physical aspects of the facility, including resident apartments. From top to bottom, the operations of our building fall under the expertise of the maintenance department, and they're just a phone call away. If you have a maintenance issue that requires the assistance of a staff member, please call the McKinley Care switchboard at 907-268-6576 and tell the receptionist you have a maintenance need. All maintenance requests are added to our maintenance log, where we track each project through to completion.

The term "care coordinator" is often heard around our community, but many people are unfamiliar with what this person does.

A care coordinator:
1. Helps elders and/or people with disabilities find and access services available in Alaska
2. Knows how to navigate and apply for the ever-changing community resource paperwork, particularly the state's Home and Community Services Medicaid Waiver program
3. Is a great option for those without a loved one or friend to help find services, especially if family is out of state
4. Can find help with meal delivery, assisted living or nursing home options, medical equipment and supplies, and financial and legal services, among other tasks.

Happy Halloween! 👻 🎃

What is "choice" as it pertains to assisted living?

➡️ Well, you like coffee, but your neighbor likes tea. You prefer to shower in the evening, but another resident, in the morning. You really don't like eggs, but the guy down the hall eats them every morning. That's choice, and your choices mean maintaining your independence and dignity. We're all about that at McKinley Care, and these concepts and more are just part of the discussions we have with incoming residents.

We are SO excited to be part of Anchorage's first "Beyond the Beige" grant awardees! McKinley Care Assisted Living is proud to be an awardee, receiving $25,000 for gifted Tlingit/Athabascan artist Crystal Worl to create “Raven Dreams of a Salmon Return," a large-scale mural on the south face of the historic McKinley Tower. At over 27 feet high and 41 feet wide, this mural will transform our rather beige building into a masterpiece. Stay tuned over the next several months as the template is designed and measured for the space. Actual painting will begin next spring!
