New Concept is an assisted living community in Anchorage, Alaska, that offers several different types of care and programs for seniors, and the staff use specific terms like "therapy programs" and "rehabilitation services," which really show how much focus they put on structured treatment and therapy sessions for folks who need them, and the staff seems to use unique names for many of their services and facilities, including features like their woodshop, art studio, ceramic studio, auditorium, and even a bistro grille, so there's plenty for people to do whether they enjoy being indoors or outdoors, with things like walking trails, outdoor patios, gardens, a pond, and a fishable lake all nearby. The community provides physical, occupational, and speech therapy through a multidisciplinary care team, and they tailor their care planning approaches to each person's individual needs, and they offer help for many common health issues seniors face, like diabetic care with special meal plans, insulin assistance, medication help, and even support with diets for folks with high blood pressure. People can stay in different living options, such as independent living apartments, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even residential care homes for those who need more supervision, and they also provide services like home care, adult day care, respite care when caregivers need a break, and hospice care for those with end-of-life needs, plus they have congregate living and continuing care choices too.
The community focuses a lot on keeping people busy with a full activities calendar, and there's youth visitor activities, music and animal therapy, tabletop games, wellness and exercise programs, music and craft classes, social events, and outdoor relaxation, and when people want to go offsite, they can visit nearby parks, restaurants, three local cafes, a theater for movies and live shows, and there are two places of worship close to the community. New Concept provides nutritious meals prepared by trained staff, with restaurant dining, a bistro grille, a private dining room, and meal delivery, and residents can get haircuts from a mobile barber, use the cyber cafe, or spend time in the library, clubhouse, spa, or many community rooms. The rooms and suites feature whirlpool baths, climate control, emergency systems, high-speed internet, and wheelchair accessibility throughout the property, and there's both indoor and outdoor pools, a lap pool, wellness center, steam room, and a fitness center with trainers available.
