Sitka Pioneer Home, Senior care facility in Sitka, United States.
The Sitka Pioneer Home is a concrete residential building on Katlian Street that provides different levels of care for elderly people in Alaska. The facility has separate living areas designed for residents with varying care needs and sits near Totem Park.
The facility began in 1913 using former Navy barracks as its initial home. The current building was constructed during the 1930s with help from government employment programs of that era.
The bronze statue called The Prospector on the grounds depicts a figure from Sitka's pioneering era and serves as a reminder of the region's early settlers. It reflects how locals connect their present with the people who first established the community.
The location is easy to reach on foot and sits along a main street with clear signage. Visitors can explore the surrounding area including the nearby park, and the grounds are accessible for people with different mobility levels.
The building started as a military camp and was later transformed into a care home, which shaped its distinctive design. It remains the longest-operating facility of its kind within Alaska's state system.
