It's the autumnal equinox 🍂 ! The word “equinox” originates from Latin, and translates to equal (equi-) night (-nox). The day of an equinox, observers at the equator will see the Sun directly overhead at noon. After the March equinox, observers anywhere on Earth will see the Sun’s path in the sky continue its movement further north every day until the June solstice, after which it begins traveling south. The Sun crosses the equatorial plane again during the September equinox, and continues traveling south until the December solstice, when it heads back north once again (courtesy of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration). Today's the day, and Alaska's going to start getting darker, earlier, but we're ready, right? 😎 😆

Did you know? McKinley Care Assisted Living was awarded a "Beyond the Beige" grant, a municipal public arts initiative aimed at revitalizing neighborhoods through art. The program encourages collaboration between artists, nonprofits, neighborhoods, and civic institutions to create vibrant and engaging artwork in public spaces. Our beautiful McKinley Tower building will soon be home to a Crystal Worl (behind the beloved Trickster Company) mural, and we're so excited! Worl will create “Raven Dreams of a Salmon Return," a large-scale mural on the south face of the building. At over 27 feet high and 41 feet wide, this mural will transform a prominent downtown wall into a vibrant work of public art and showcase the raven, one of Alaska's most legendary protagonists. Check out the grant program, and stay tuned for updates on the progress!

The concept of assisted living was first generated in 1981 by Dr. Keren Brown Wilson, a specialist in gerontology, who noticed a gap in services between independent "retirement homes" and full on, 24/7 skilled nursing facilities. The first true assisted living community was created in 1985 in Oregon as part of a state-funded trial approach to care. By the 1990s, the term "assisted living" was becoming more commonplace, and facilities focusing on an individual's specific needs, or "Activities of Daily Living" became part of the care dictionary. McKinley Care Assisted Living is proud to be part of this important caregiving legacy!

What does "assistance with personal care" mean? McKinley Care Assisted Living staff members are trained in all aspects related to Activities of Daily Living; things like helping residents bathe, get dressed in the morning or ready for bed in the evening, and help with shaving or brushing teeth.

Resident rights are taken very seriously at McKinley Care Assisted Living. People who live in long-term care facilities often feel vulnerable and we understand that such a move can make one feel a loss of control. Resident rights enable you to direct all aspects of your stay with us, including decisions about your healthcare, how you conduct your personal life, and the right to privacy and confidentiality. You can learn more about your resident rights on our website, or by talking with a staff member or the McKinley Care administrative team.

People who live in long-term care facilities often feel more vulnerable than people who live independently in their own homes.
