Arc Aldona

Arc Aldona sits about five miles outside Anchorage, Alaska, offering assisted living with a small, home-like setting for up to four residents, and sometimes, when looking around, you might notice the facility's fully furnished semi-private and private rooms that make it easy for people to settle in, with space and privacy considered, since some folks prefer a quieter shared room and others like their own space. The staff at Arc Aldona train to help with daily needs like bathing, getting dressed, moving around, and taking medicine on time, and there's always someone nearby in case you need a hand, all day and all night, because safety stays important for everyone there. Each day brings three homemade meals, and if someone has special diet needs, like for diabetes or blood pressure, the kitchen can adjust, so meals fit the right health requirements and nobody feels left out at the table, whether you like your meals at regular times or want-all-day dining on your own schedule. Arc Aldona focuses on community and well-being by organizing activities-movie nights, fitness sessions, music and pet therapy, and creative programs-so residents stay active, and if you want to spend quiet time, you can use the reading room, walk in the gardens, or join others in shared lounges or game rooms. Transportation is arranged for trips to the doctor, shopping, or religious services, so residents don't have to worry about missing important appointments or feeling stuck. Residents get help with laundry and housekeeping, and rooms come set up and ready, so moving in is a simple process, and if visitors drop by or family wants to check in, there are services to help keep those connections strong. For health and safety, Arc Aldona has emergency alert systems, secure entrances, and wellness monitoring, along with care for residents with memory challenges, including dementia, where staff know how to keep people safe from wandering and help manage confusion. There are also hospice and respite care services in case someone needs care for a short time or is in the last stages of life, plus support for those who need skilled nursing or extra medical help, sometimes even with an RN on site. The facility provides physical therapy, fitness programs, a hot tub and steam wellness area, a barber or beauty shop, and walks in the garden or outdoor areas if fresh air is needed, making days comfortable but not too busy or overwhelming. With a simple approach, Arc Aldona tries to create a supportive place that feels like home, focusing on independence, respect, and routine with careful attention to privacy and individual needs, and since it has only a few beds, staff can really get to know each resident, making care more personal and less rushed, which helps everyone feel valued and seen.
