It's summer out there! Are you drinking enough water? Most adults aren't, so be sure to drink a glass with every meal, and in between, too! Five to seven glasses a day is enough for most people.

Yes, McKinley Care Assisted Living does take residents on the Alaska Medicaid Choice Waiver program. What does that mean? Officially called the "Community and Home Options to Institutional Care for Everyone (CHOICE)," this program gives people with physical or developmental disabilities an opportunity to receive long-term care services in their homes, or, like McKinley Care, in a community setting. Designed to bridge the gap between living independently and residing in a nursing home, CHOICE focuses on providing person-centered care and promoting as much independence as possible. Need more information? Call or email us, and we can help you navigate the process!

Welcome to McKinley Care Assisted Living! You’re now part of the ‘family’; so what does that mean?

Moving into an assisted living facility is a big step for most people, but for those who’ve never resided in a group setting before, it also comes with its own unique set of challenges and responsibilities. From becoming acquainted with new routines to meeting and interacting with new people, it can be overwhelming, especially during the first few months.

To help newcomers to the McKinley Care family settle in and as a reminder to those who have been with us for some time, here’s a set of guidelines that hopefully encourage a sense of community and kindness.
