Heart of Care

Heart Of Care sits at 7038 Peck Ave in Anchorage, not far from Elmendorf Air Force Base, and it's a small community with only four assisted living units, which gives people a quieter and more personal place to live, and they try to help each person with care like putting on clothes, help with toileting, bathing, and whatever they need for daily living, plus the staff includes bilingual and English-speaking caregivers, and they have licensed nurses as well as therapists for speech, occupational, and physical therapy on-site. The building's designed to be safe and easy to get around, with wheelchair access, non-slip floors, furnished rooms including studios, one-bedrooms, and shared spaces, private bedrooms, and features like emergency alert systems and a lounge where folks can gather, along with a community garden, chapel, and big balconies to enjoy the fresh air, and there are large screen TVs, a theater room with movie nights, arts and crafts studios, a games room with cards and bingo, plus a library for quiet reading. The place allows small pets, has a beauty salon, a spa and sauna, a snack shop, and they serve meals in a well-lit dining hall, including special diets for allergies, diabetes, or food that's pureed, and offer snacks between meals. They run a wellness program, exercise and fitness rooms, activities every day, and community-sponsored events. For health, they handle medication management, diabetic management, continence help, laundry and housekeeping, arranging doctor appointments, pharmacy services, and also have 24-hour supervision with support for non-ambulatory residents, and they help people move in with personal plans for what each person needs. There's mealtime help, individualized service plans, scheduled doctor visits, massage therapy, and transportation for appointments out in town, and the community's close to other senior living places like Jewel Lake Alh and Powell's Home Care. Residents get access to computers, easy-to-use community rooms, walking paths, and a garden, and there's a special focus on Alzheimer's care and memory support. Heart Of Care has held an active provider status since June 24, 2014, with the NPI number 1093120438, and works as an organization with a team that stays with the residents around the clock so people can feel comfortable knowing someone's always around to help with whatever comes up.
