St. Anne Assisted Living Home II sits in a quiet residential area in Anchorage, Alaska, giving older adults a safe and peaceful place to live, and folks there offer two types of care-assisted living for people who need some help with daily things but still want a bit of independence, and memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, who need more hands-on and specialized help, with a special building built just for them so they get the right support and stay safe. The home's got private bedrooms and some have kitchenettes, with private baths and even rooms set up to help those managing memory issues, and average room cost is about $6,000, and you get choices like 1-bedroom or memory care options. Residents get three meals a day in the dining room, and the kitchen staff does a good job offering a range of meal types to suit different preferences, which folks seem to appreciate because some like comfort food while others want lighter meals. There's indoor common rooms where residents can relax, visit, or take part in activities-sometimes they hold devotional services right there on site, and sometimes folks head out for offsite activities or devotional meetings, depending on what they feel up to. The staff keeps the place clean, and they're trained to support residents as their health and needs change, so you'll see people getting help with laundry, housekeeping, bathing, dressing, using the restroom, and there's always someone awake through the night, which gives peace of mind for families worried about loved ones who may need urgent help.
They also have a nurse who visits to handle medical things like medication, blood sugar checks, injections, and they know how to manage diabetes and complex health needs, and they're trained to help people who need lifts or assisted transfers, whether it's moving from bed to wheelchair or other types of help. St. Anne's has kept safety front and center-there are locks and alarms on windows and doors, and staff use bracelets that ring alarms if someone tries to leave, especially in the memory care section, since some residents might wander or get lost or even become upset and lash out. They can accept people who are dealing with incontinence or mobility issues, those who act out physically or are at risk for elopement, and people who need reminders and monitoring for behavioral concerns, and they have special programs and activities to keep residents with Alzheimer's or dementia active and mentally engaged.
You'll notice the home has a real group feel, because there's a spacious, cozy setting built to give everyone a sense of community and companionship, and there's indoor and outdoor common areas where people gather, share meals, or enjoy Alaska's different seasons-plus there's walking paths in the quiet neighborhood and local parks for fishing or hiking when weather allows, so active folks don't feel stuck inside. For people who drive, there's parking in the lot, and transportation is available for appointments or outings, though sometimes that might cost extra. There's always a full calendar of activities on offer, both inside the home and out in the local Anchorage community, aimed at keeping residents moving, thinking, and socializing, whether someone likes a quiet indoor game, wants to join friends for a devotional service, or prefers a bus out to the nearby shopping center or eatery. St. Anne Assisted Living Home II tries to balance independence and support, making life feel homelike while staying equipped for most needs older adults might have-including seniors who need wheelchair help, full assistance, reminders to stay safe, or specialized memory care with supervision around the clock and care plans built just for them.
