Paying with Medicaid and other programsHow Medicaid pays for care in Alaska, and other programs
How Medicaid pays for care in Alaska
- Alaskans Living Independently (ALI) Waiver. Yes, for some people. Alaska's ALI Medicaid waiver, for adults 21 and older who need nursing home level care, pays for Residential Supported Living Services in licensed assisted living homes. It does not pay room and board. (state page)
- Waitlist. The Alaskans Living Independently waiver document says there is no waitlist. (source)
Ask the community whether it accepts Medicaid.

How Lilisity works. The only scores or rankings Lilisity publishes are the Top Communities list and the Excellence Awards, both built from phone-verified resident and family interviews. Communities can pay Lilisity a flat monthly fee to manage their own listing: photos, prices, contact details, and receiving the inquiries families choose to send them. The fee is the same no matter how many families contact them or move in. Senior Living Alliance, which runs Lilisity, offers the same listing to its member communities as part of their membership; members pay SLA for its resident and family interview program. No community pays Lilisity per inquiry, per referral or per move-in. Payment never changes a testimonial, a rating, or the order of search results. The "Nearby Senior Living Alliance communities" box shows member communities only. How we verify testimonials · How we are paid
