FRA Erickson Residence sits in Fairbanks, Alaska, over at 3747 Erickson Avenue in the 99701 zip code, and offers a small, quiet senior care home licensed under Alaska license #100160, with only 4 assisted living units that keep things close-knit and homelike for older adults who might want more attention than a big place can provide, so you find a relaxed community where staff support folks who need help with everyday things like bathing, dressing, moving around, taking medicines, or getting a meal ready, but still manage their mobility fine with some guidance, and everyone gets regular health checkups and monthly visits from a nurse to keep tabs on health needs. The caregivers are always around, day and night, to lend a hand, even if someone needs help at odd hours, and if someone has trouble with incontinence or needs feeding by spoon or support with transfers, the staff step right in without any fuss, since they're used to handling those things with care, and the care plans get made for each person so no one falls through the cracks. Folks who like a little privacy can choose studio apartments, or maybe a shared spot if they want more company, and the rooms all have emergency response systems just in case, so families know their elders can call for help if something's wrong. The housekeeping team makes sure apartments and common spaces stay clean, beds get made, and laundry's done regular so residents and families don't have to worry about chores, and meals come in a dining room with foods that suit different diets-like for diabetes or allergies-or in a private kitchen area, and there's always extra help at mealtimes if someone needs it.
There's a game room, a computer center, and plenty of arts and crafts activities or movie nights to keep folks busy, and visitors can come by during flexible hours, which means people can stay social and connected with family or friends. Landscaped grounds and porches give space to walk around or sit outside if the weather's nice, and for those who like extra services, there's an on-site salon and barbershop, plus transportation and parking for residents who need a ride to doctor's appointments or want to get out for some shopping nearby where there are hospitals, pharmacies, and churches. Safety stays a big focus, with protected entry through a keypad and a 24-hour security system, so people feel comfortable day and night. Emergency alert systems in rooms, monthly doctor visits, in-room phones, and internet access bring even more peace of mind. Folks can bring pets and make use of the common kitchen for special recipes, and staff help with medication management, housekeeping, and even relocation support for those new to the place. Memory care services, skilled nursing, respite stays for short-term recovery, rehab therapies, and occasional hospice care are also offered depending on needs, all within a setting that never feels overcrowded. FRA Erickson Residence keeps things friendly and simple, and gives a peaceful, supportive setting for older people who want personal care without giving up dignity, right in the Fairbanks community.
