Good Samaritan Alh sits in Anchorage, Alaska, zip code 99515, and houses up to five senior citizens in a small, home-like community under license number 156, and people living here will find a mix of housing types including one-bedroom suites, studio apartments, as well as shared apartments, each one with pull cords or call buttons, washer and dryer, and secure entry through a keyless keypad, and the apartments are set up so everyone has furnished rooms and pets are welcome, which always makes things livelier. The care here covers several needs with options for assisted living, memory care, and support for those with Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's, and there are staff onsite 24 hours to offer help with dressing, bathing, toileting, incontinence care, mobility, and feeding if it's needed, which takes a lot of worry off families' minds, and medication setup, reminders, administration, and diabetes management are part of daily routines, with regular health checkups by a registered nurse and access to a staff nurse at other times.
Seniors get all their meals and snacks in the community dining room, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner served by a culinary chef and supervised by dietitians, with a variety of dietary menus on offer-think pureed foods, allergy-sensitive options, and special menus for birthdays or holidays-and they never lack for all-day snacks or drinks, so nobody goes hungry between meals. Amenities focus on comfort, with big TVs, a computer center, library, game room, and a business room for handling personal matters, while community spaces like outdoor porches, trails, garden, and walking paths offer fresh air, and wellness programs fill days with fitness activities, massage therapy, arts and crafts in a dedicated studio, creative games, and social gatherings. Residents and their families can join in planned events, parties for holidays and birthdays, movie nights, and regularly scheduled outings using group transportation, and for services like laundry, house cleaning, and maintenance, Good Samaritan Alh staff take care of those too, even offering help with relocation or moving in.
People here have access to therapy rooms for speech, occupational, physical, and massage therapy, and the facility pays attention to fall prevention and safe ambulation, while those who need extra help with managing feelings of independence but still require daily care find tailored plans that look after their specific preferences and health needs, plus there are always activities happening-whether it's exercise in the fitness room, doing arts, or enjoying a quiet read in the library. On top of everything, the community pays all utilities, handles trash disposal, keeps apartments clean, and has a concierge to answer questions or help with little things that come up throughout the day, so seniors can focus on enjoying time with others and living as easily as possible.
