Our Approach
Our Home Care Process
Understanding Assisted Living: The Move-In Process.
1st Step
Make Appointment
Make Appointment: This will be a casual conversation to learn more about the residence and understand the needs of the individual seeking assisted living services. If requested, this step may also involve a visit to the home.
Application: You can apply for an assessment or refer a relative for one. At this step, you may also receive an application packet.
2st Step
Requirements for Assisted Living
Assessment: The Home RN or administrator evaluates the applicant’s medical needs, cognitive abilities, and functional capacity.
The assessment takes into account the applicant’s personal, housing, physical, emotional, and mental health needs.
Paperwork: Complete the admission paperwork, which includes a resident or
representative agreement.
The resident agreement is a legal contract that details the services the home will provide and the associated fees for those services.
Eligibility: Applicants must meet the minimum age requirement and need assistance with activities of daily living (ADL).
Applicants must be medically stable and able to move independently. Applicants should not need 24/7 medical care like that required in a medical facility like a nursing home.
3st Step
Admission and Move-In Process
This will include the following:
Care Conference: this includes the resident, their representative, the Pillars of Care ALH representative or RN, the resident’s Care Coordinator, and other necessary medical team members. This will also include the development of the resident’s Plan of Care that details the services and ADLs the resident will receive.
Move-In Process: Ensuring a smooth transition for the resident.

Frequently Asked
Assisted Living Homes in Alaska
In Alaska, assisted living homes (ALHs) are residential facilities that provide nonmedical care for seniors or individuals with disabilities who need help with activities of daily living (ADLs) like bathing, dressing, and eating. Services typically include personal care, medication management, meals, housekeeping, transportation, and social activities. Some ALHs oJer specialized care, such as dementia support.

The average cost of assisted living in Alaska is approximately $6,830 per month, higher than the national average due to the state’s remote location and higher living costs. Medicaid (known as DenaliCare in Alaska) does not cover room and board but can cover personal care and other services through waivers like the Alaskans Living Independently (ALI) waiver or the Adults with Physical and Developmental Disabilities (APDD) waiver. Nearly 1 in 6 assisted living residents nationwide rely on Medicaid for care services, and Alaska’s waivers support this.

To qualify for Medicaid-covered services in assisted living, individuals must be
Alaska residents, meet financial criteria (e.g., income below $2,829/month for an
individual in 2024, or 300% of the SSI Federal Benefit Rate, and assets under $2,000 for a single person), and require a nursing facility level of care. For the ALI waiver, applicants must be 65+ or 21–64 with a physical disability. The APDD waiver targets those 21+ with developmental disabilities. A functional assessment by the Division of Senior and Disabilities Services (SDS) is required.

Apply through the Alaska Division of Public Assistance (DPA) online via the ARIES Self-Service Portal, by mail, fax, email, phone (800-478-7778), or in person at a local oJice. Required documents include proof of identity, income, assets, and residency. After Medicaid approval, contact the SDS Intake and Assessment Unit for a functional assessment to determine waiver eligibility. Applications are accepted year-round, but waitlists may apply due to limited slots (e.g., ALI has limited enrollment).

Ensure the facility is licensed by the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services and accepts Medicaid waivers if needed. Check staJ qualifications, safety features, resident satisfaction, and services tailored to specific needs (e.g., IDD or dementia care).
