Ketchikan Pioneer Home - how to apply / waitlist
The state-run Ketchikan Pioneer Home (141 Bryant Street, 907-225-4111) admits Alaskans 65+ who have lived in Alaska at least one year. Applying puts you on a waitlist - choose 'Active' (ready to move within 30 days of an offer) or 'Inactive' (planning for the future, no penalty); placement is by application date, so families are encouraged to apply years early. Apply online or on paper through the Division of Alaska Pioneer Homes; a waitlist transfer/change form is available as a PDF. Payment assistance is available for those who cannot afford the monthly rate.
