Quyanna Care Center sits in Nome, Alaska, and runs as a non-profit with 15 units and 18 certified beds, seeing about 17 residents each day and an occupancy rate near 94 percent, and what stands out is that it takes Medicaid and Medicare, helping folks afford care who might not otherwise be able to stay here, and the rooms are furnished with safety features and handicap fixtures, plus maid service, on-site maintenance, laundry service, and telephones in the rooms, while the whole place has good upkeep, including a garden, walking paths, and emergency alert systems throughout. Staff help with personal care like bathing, dressing, hygiene, and transitions for those who need it, with several nurses always available for skilled nursing services and extra help, so while you're there you get regular medication management, physical therapy, specialized non-ambulatory care, and long-term or inpatient rehab as needed; besides all that, there's supervision around the clock and nurses to help manage health issues, with extra medical services like dental, hearing, and vision care on-site, along with easy access to meals in a community dining room, special menus for allergies and diabetes, and scheduled meal times.
Activities keep people active with arts and crafts, recreational programs, social events, and wellness and health classes, all meant to bring residents together and keep their bodies and minds sharp, though it's worth knowing there's no Resident Council or Family Council at this facility, so folks looking for group representation should keep that in mind. The care team manages to keep pressure ulcers down to 0% and urinary infections are at 0% too, which isn't always seen, but severe falls are reported at about 17%, and use of anti-psychotic and anti-anxiety medications is kept in check with reported rates below 19%, while the center reports a perfect 100% vaccination rate for every resident. Quyanna Care Center doesn't operate as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, but it gets high marks on long-term care, nursing quality, and overall scores, with grades like A+ for long-term care and nursing, and a B+ for short-term care and inspections, plus reports say it's improved in several areas over time, bringing it in line with state and national averages. Inspection notes do mention some infection-related deficiencies, so some folks might want to take a closer look at those before deciding, but the center stays transparent and posts information online in a quick summary section, showing that they're keeping an eye on their quality. There's a salon and barbershop, daily housekeeping, safety features, recreational amenities, and help with daily living, so if someone needs both regular support and occasional specialized rehab, this center keeps things straightforward, honest, and consistent with the services they offer.
