Mission Statement
Access Alaska is a private, non-profit, consumer-controlled organization that provides independent living services to people who experience a disability. As an Independent Living Center, our mission is to encourage and promote the total integration of people who experience a disability and Alaskan elders to live independently in the community of their choice. Through our assistance and support individuals with disabilities can identify and obtain needed services in an effort to maintain their independence as opposed to living in an institution.
Description
People want the freedom to make decisions about their health, independence and lifestyles. Disability and age should not limit that freedom. We help Alaskans find information and access resources, advocate for change, hire personal care attendants, secure funding, training and services to lead the most independent, inclusive, productive, and satisfying lives possible.
