Polaris Extended Care runs one of the more lopsided profiles you'll see in Anchorage: nurse staffing at 4.61 hours per resident day sits about 19% above the national average, and CMS gives it 5 out of 5 stars for that. But staffing is only part of the story. The health inspection record is the problem, 82 deficiencies, including 10 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, with $231,865 in fines across four penalties. Weekend staffing also drops about 16% below its own weekday level, so the coverage isn't even all week. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so this is current, not old history.
