Koris Assisted Living LLC sits in a quiet Anchorage neighborhood at 11551 Via Appia, where up to five seniors can live in a home-like setting that's more personal than larger places tend to be, and there's always staff available, twenty-four hours a day, so help is close by whenever needed, whether someone needs a hand getting dressed, with bathing, eating, or just wants someone around for safety. The residential care home is owned and run by a Registered Nurse named Koreen Mateaki, and the focus really seems to be on taking care of all the daily tasks people might not want to manage on their own, like medication reminders, health monitoring, and special help for those with Alzheimer's or dementia. Meals are home-cooked, coming three times a day, and the care team can help with things like insulin shots or even two-person transfers if someone needs extra help moving.
Rooms come either private or shared, and bathrooms are designed to make moving around easier. Some thoughtful amenities like a reading room, a jacuzzi, a steam room, game rooms, and a health area mostly cover comfort and safety, while there's also a beauty shop for haircuts or styling, and staff can arrange for a mobile hairdresser to come by. They set up activities and programs, movies, fitness classes, music, and art-plus there are social events in the evenings and board games or animal therapy, which tends to keep folks busy and engaged with others. Transportation is available, so someone needing a ride to a doctor's appointment or an errand, or maybe even a spiritual trip, can get there without hassle. Nutrition is covered, including special diets for folks with high blood pressure or diabetes, and there's always help for toileting, grooming, and incontinence care, since everyone's needs are different.
Koris Assisted Living LLC holds a license from the State of Alaska-license number 940524-and's been operating since 2010, strictly for assisted living and memory care. Pets aren't allowed, and there's no public review score available, but residents get a wellness plan built around how much help they need, whether they're still pretty active or need more daily assistance. This isn't a big fancy place, but it does aim to be a safe and comfortable choice for seniors looking for daily support, some company, and a relaxed setting right in Anchorage.
