Althea Assisted Living Home sits in Anchorage, Alaska, at 2634B Carroll Place, serving a small group with just 5 beds so everyone tends to get to know each other and staff pays close attention to each resident's needs, which might suit someone looking for a quieter place. The facility opened in 2017 and operates with a state license and regular surveys, offering help for both assisted living and memory care, which means folks with Alzheimer's, dementia, or Parkinson's get specialized support alongside seniors who just need a hand with daily routines like bathing, dressing, and moving around, including help for wheelchair users and those with low mobility.
Rooms come as furnished studios, shared apartments, or one-bedroom units, all with emergency alert systems, and there's care for everything from medication management and meal prep to occupational and speech therapy, incontinence support, dressing aid, and even manual feeding if needed, plus housekeeping, laundry, and full home maintenance are always part of the deal, so no need to worry about chores. Residents get three meals each day, snacks all day, and special menu choices, including pureed foods and diets set by doctors for anyone with unique needs; dining's both communal and private, plus there's a bistro and kitchen space to gather and chat.
To keep everyone active and connected, Althea plans social and educational activities, movie nights, birthday and holiday entertainment, fitness classes, walking and jogging paths that wind through a nicely manicured garden, and even group outings with scheduled transportation-there's a pretty full calendar if folks want to join in. Residents can hop online in the computer room, read in the library, play games, or visit the on-site barbershop and hair salon. Staff includes a licensed nurse on-site at all times, professional caregivers awake around the clock, and regular checks from doctors with health screenings and wellness assessments. Althea also helps with transportation to appointments or events out in town.
Families and pets are welcome; small pets are allowed and gatherings can take place right on the grounds, with security handled by keypad entry and awake staff. Apartment cleaning, linen and personal laundry service come standard, and utilities are included in rent except for the phone. Residents have access to on-site massage, preventative health screenings, and can expect routines tailored individually, whether spousal or single, memory care or daily living needs, with staff always putting safety and well-being first.
