Arc - Lionheart B sits in Anchorage, Alaska, with small communities on Arca Drive and Lionheart Drive, both places where folks can get specialized care in a calm home-like setting, and while the buildings have only three licensed beds in each, they offer several choices for living spaces like studio layouts, private bedrooms, or shared units, all with handy features like pull cords, in-room washers and dryers, and emergency response systems, so residents have comfort if they need help. You'll find folks living together or in their own rooms, and you get a choice of things like communal dining, outdoor patios, a movie theater room, fitness programs for exercise, and a big library for a quiet afternoon, and those who like arts and crafts can join in community activities or enjoy events like movie nights or family gatherings.
The staff includes trained caregivers who stay awake and close by at all hours of the day or night, and there're scheduled nurse visits each month along with regular doctor checkups, all with attention to privacy and safety by using keyless keypad entry and a 24-hour security system. Arc - Lionheart B helps with things like bathing, dressing, using the bathroom, eating, managing medicine, getting into and out of the shower, and provides Parkinson's care, dementia or memory care, manual feeding, and even hospice and respite care when needed, all guided by personalized care plans and regular health assessments, so care fits what each person needs. Folks with mental health conditions can use Residential Treatment (BH) and Community Integration (BH) programs for adults and younger residents since the place is partnered with The Arc of Anchorage and has held its accreditation since 2014.
You'll notice shared and private transportation for doctor's appointments, errands, or trips out, and folks can get moving help or relocation services, which takes the worry out of moving in or going out. Staff offer meals three times a day with restaurant-style options, pureed choices, diabetic-friendly plates, and special treats for birthdays or holidays, and they even bring in a mobile barber or hairdresser for anyone wanting grooming or beauty help. If a resident's got a pet, they're welcome too, and there's always a spot for relaxing on the deck, walking trails outside, or playing board games in the games room. The place covers regular services like laundry, housekeeping, maintenance, and all utilities except the phone, so families and residents can focus on spending time together, joining in on window walks, musical programs, pet therapy, and religious or chapel services if that's important to someone.
Families visit as part of organized events, and both adults and children can get mental health help if they need it through the connected programs, since Arc - Lionheart B is more than only a senior home-it supports different medical and non-medical needs and offers extra programs to bring in social, creative, and health-focused activities in a family-friendly environment, whether it's a big event or just sharing a meal together in the dining room.
