Quyanna Care Center

Quyanna Care Center is a nursing home in Nome, Alaska, offering long-term care to elders from the Bering Strait region. As the first tribal nursing home in Alaska and one of only 14 tribal nursing homes in the nation, it serves residents while keeping them close to home.

The facility accommodates 18 elders and provides round-the-clock care from registered nurses and certified nursing assistants. Staff training is prioritized to ensure residents receive quality medical and personal care in a safe, homelike environment.

The center's philosophy centers on cultural respect and connection. Traditional ways of living are incorporated into every aspect of residents' care, recognizing that staying connected to their culture is as important as receiving healthcare and living assistance. This approach reflects the facility's core value of honoring the wisdom and experience of its elders.
