Day Spring ALH is a small assisted living home with five beds and a focus on personalized care for seniors who want to keep their independence but need some help with daily things like bathing, dressing, or medication. The building sits on Denali Street in Anchorage and features wheelchair ramps, emergency alert systems, and different types of rooms, such as studio apartments and semi-private spaces, all furnished and ready for new residents, though there's help with moving in and setting up, which some people really appreciate. People living at Day Spring ALH get three chef-prepared meals a day in the dining room, but if someone needs a special menu, for allergies or diabetes, that's all covered and even snacks are available.
Staff provide 24-hour supervision, help with medicines, and know how to care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, especially since there's a special memory care wing and intervention programs designed for folks with cognitive challenges. There's also a greenhouse for gardening, walking paths, a community kitchen, and a game room, so people can stay as active or social as they want. Residents bring their pets, watch movies together, and even have scheduled massage therapy, chapel services, and various social activities that change depending on the season or what people ask for. With amenities like laundry, weekly housecleaning, and transportation, it feels comfortable and easy even if someone can't get out much on their own anymore.
If you need skilled nursing, hospice, or short-term rehabilitation, you can access those services through Providence Extended Care Center, Providence Forest View Assisted Living, and Providence Horizon House, since Day Spring ALH works with them and can coordinate care. The staff can coordinate with healthcare providers for therapy or checkups, plus offer help with transfers and non-ambulatory care. There's a secured environment for safety, and regular health check-ups happen to catch any problems early. With a quiet, home-like setting, a small number of residents, and lots of communal and recreational spaces, Day Spring ALH fits seniors looking for a place to live where they know the other residents, feel safe, and have people close by to help-whether they need help getting dressed in the morning or want a friend to walk in the garden with after dinner.
