Holy Family Alh III

Holy Family ALH III sits over on 2030 Duke Drive in Anchorage, Alaska, and it serves as an assisted living board and care home where up to 5 older adults can live together, and the place has a warm, residential feeling, nothing too big or busy, which helps some residents feel a bit more comfortable, especially those who like a quieter setting, and the staff helps residents who can't fully take care of themselves anymore but may not need full nursing home care yet, and you'll find 24-hour awake caregivers on site who will help with dressing, bathing, hygiene, getting up and lying down, managing medication, and making sure no one leaves the building if they shouldn't, especially with folks who have memory problems or need a secured area because they might wander, and there's support for residents with different needs, from those who mostly get along on their own to others needing steady help, including special programs for people with Alzheimer's or other memory issues, plus care plans adjusted for each individual, regular health checks, and coordination with doctors. Meals come three times a day and are cooked right in the home, and snacks are available, and if someone has special dietary needs-like needing food for diabetes or high blood pressure-the kitchen staff can adjust meals as needed, and there's even an option for pureed foods for those who have trouble chewing or swallowing, so eating stays safe and pleasant for everybody. Residents can use shared or private spaces, furnished living areas, spacious living rooms, and when it's time for a haircut or a bit of pampering, a traveling stylist can come in, which is quite convenient, and there's help with housekeeping, laundry, and all utilities are included, so people don't have to worry about those chores or bills. Safety features like pull cords and security systems help give some peace of mind, and the whole place is built to be easy to move around for people who use wheelchairs or have other mobility issues, plus there are scheduled rides for doctor visits, errands, and even trips out for spiritual services. There's always something going on, from music therapy, pet visits, and board games, to arts and crafts, daily activity programs, movie nights in the home's own theatre, group exercise or walks on landscaped paths and gardens, board games and a big library for reading, and the staff also tries to keep things social and help residents stay mentally and physically active-but if someone wants peace and quiet, there are cozy spots for that too. You'll find the place is near parks and local cafes, so those who can go out might enjoy the community beyond the home, and for in-home relaxation, there's a spa, sauna, and parlor room, plus massage therapy can be arranged; all in all, it's a practical place offering lots of support but still trying to give residents room for some independence and the chance to enjoy their days in different ways. The monthly starting cost for memory care starts at $4,500, and what you pay may go up based on the care required, the kind of room, and any extra extras, and residents can pay in several different ways, including with private funds, long-term care insurance, or Veterans Aid. The staff can handle complex needs, such as insulin shots and two-person transfers, if that's something required, but they always make a care plan based on what each person really needs or wants, and that kind of individual consideration is just part of the way Holy Family ALH III operates, aiming to keep things safe, comfortable, and as homelike as possible.
