Arc Lionheart B sits about four miles outside Anchorage, Alaska, and stands out as a very small community, certified for up to three residents, where folks can choose from different room layouts including semi-private rooms or studio apartments with safety features like panic buttons in each room and 24-hour security, which gives families a sense of peace. Staff stay on site all day and night, ready to help with medication, bathing, bathroom visits, grooming, dressing, walking around, and managing laundry, plus they handle monthly nurse assessments and doctor check-ups. The care plans get tailored for each person and aim to help residents keep their independent lifestyle while also supporting those who need more help, like with memory care or extra supervision. Folks living here don't have to worry about meals, because daily healthy food and snacks get provided, all in communal dining areas where seniors can gather and socialize. Residents can do their own laundry if they like, or take advantage of the facility's linen services and housekeeping.
Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments, errands, faith services, off-site trips, and daily outings, so people don't have to give up going out and about. There's a computer room, movie nights, art and crafts in the studio, board games, exercise programs, music therapy, pet visits, book spaces, outdoor paths, trails for walking, picnic areas, and even a jacuzzi and sauna, plus a salon for hair care. Devotional activities, frequent social events, birthday and holiday celebrations, and planned get-togethers give residents meaningful things to do, while health programs and creative games help keep everyone mentally and physically active. The team works to make sure each person feels at home, whether they're staying for respite care or making Arc Lionheart B their permanent address. For safety, there's always someone trained available, so getting help means pressing a button or calling out, and if folks move in from elsewhere, there's even help with relocation. Arc Lionheart B does its best to serve seniors who want comfort, social connection, and the assistance they need in a small, homelike setting.
