Abuelita Alh

Abuelita ALH sits at 1105 San Antonio Street in Anchorage and doesn't have a big capacity, just 5 licensed beds, so folks end up living in smaller groups, which can sometimes be better for memory care and personal attention, and you'll notice they have studios, 1-bedroom units, and even shared living quarters, plus things like spacious closets, safe apartment layouts, and well-lit hallways for people who might be at risk of falling, not to mention emergency alert systems and call buttons in the rooms for extra safety. The staff keeps people on a routine that covers everything from occupational therapy and massage services to arts and crafts, movie nights, and chapel visits, so there's always something going on, and there's a big focus on memory and dementia care, with custom care plans, a specialized intervention program, and manual feeding help if someone has trouble eating on their own, and they're ready to assist with getting in and out of bed, taking a shower, bathroom support, and help moving about the building or outside on the walking paths or gardens. They offer chef-prepared meals and snacks all day long, with menus that cover various dietary needs like pureed food, diabetes-friendly dishes, and allergy-sensitive options-plus scheduled mealtimes in a bright dining hall, and a private dining room for special occasions, while the on-site barbershop, exercise room, library, computer access, and games and entertainment room give folks places to gather and spend time. Nursing staff and caregivers stay on call around the clock, handling medication management, health and needs assessments, and arranging transportation for doctor's visits or errands, and you'll find short-term care, Parkinson's care, and tailored help with daily living, like dressing or transferring. There's always laundry and housekeeping done, even dry cleaning and move-in help, so residents can settle in more easily, and family gatherings and community-sponsored activities happen regularly for social interaction. Rooms come furnished if people need them to, all utilities are included, and the building is fully wheelchair accessible, with security systems running day and night. There's a concierge service available for residents, and the staff sticks to routines that combine health care and personal assistance, making Abuelita ALH, which doesn't accept Medicare unless specifically certified, more like an adult care home that also works with several sponsored foreign caregivers, especially from Venezuela, all within the rules for hiring and employment.
