The New Creation is a small, licensed assisted living home in Anchorage, Alaska with only 2 licensed beds, offering seniors a quieter environment and more personal attention than some larger facilities, and while costs are usually lower here than at a full-time nursing home, the price of assisted living in Alaska is still higher than in many other states due to things like heating costs and utility bills, but that does go hand in hand with the unique Alaskan setting, friendly people, and beautiful natural surroundings nearby, and the home itself takes care of long-term care, independent living, respite care, hospice, and rehabilitation with staff around 24 hours a day, so folks get help with things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, or just moving around when they need it, and there's a focus on providing peace of mind to families knowing their loved ones are being looked after in a safe and supportive environment, with a system for emergency alerts, in-room pull cords, and panic or call buttons, and even flexible visiting hours so family can come and go when needed.
The New Creation has a lot of useful features for the few residents who live there, and it's set up with private and shared rooms, including studio accommodations, in-room washers and dryers, and things like air conditioning, cable TV, and Wi-Fi included, so people don't have to give up comfort when they move in, and the house has common areas, a library, kitchenettes, a gym, a hot tub, a pool, a beauty salon, a chapel for devotional activities, and pretty walking paths outside, and residents can keep cats or dogs here, which means many won't worry about giving up beloved pets, and meals get prepared with options for special diets or allergies, and the staff does laundry, linen changes, cleaning, and even helps with birthday parties or special events when they come around.
There are plenty of activities and entertainment every day, with arts and crafts, movie nights, fitness and health classes, scheduled outings, and a therapy room, plus a community kitchen and meeting rooms for socializing or family gatherings, and the staff helps with transportation for medical or social appointments, offering both medical and non-medical rides around town, and the facility keeps preventive health screenings on the schedule and coordinates with healthcare providers for medication management, so a lot of care gets handled on-site.
The state of Alaska runs programs like Alaskans Living Independently (ALI), Senior Benefits, and the Pioneer Home system to help with costs or covering services, and while small facilities like The New Creation usually keep resident numbers low for more individualized care, there's still a focus on safety, daily living help, and comfort for seniors who want some support without losing the ability to socialize or take part in group activities, and with only two beds, this home feels quiet, more personal, and less overwhelming for older adults who might get lost in a bigger crowd, and for families who want to check in or learn more, information requests and calls are options any time.
