Overview of McKinley Care

McKinley Care is an assisted living community in Anchorage, Alaska, in the Government Hill neighborhood. Staff are available around the clock to help with daily activities and medication management. McKinley Care may be a good fit for a resident who needs this ongoing assistance and whose care plan can be supported by staff at all hours.

The community opened in 2021 and has 82 beds. Jack Pomerantz serves as administrator, and a doctor is on staff to provide physician care at the community. Regular assessments of each resident’s care needs and individualized care plans organize support around documented needs.

Medicaid is accepted as a payment option, which may help families whose savings do not cover a long stay. Meals can accommodate dietary needs and preferences, with service in the dining room or delivery to resident rooms. The area’s Walk Score of 39 places it in a car-dependent setting, so residents who no longer drive will generally need a car or a ride for most errands.
