Big Lake Country Club I sits near Willow, Alaska, and connects with the Big Lake Country Club, Assisted Living Home, giving residents a country club setting and a pure golf experience. The property includes an eighteen-hole golf course, par 72, about 6,800 yards long, with water hazards, and an estimated green fee runs around $150, though they're still working on detailed playing tips. The assisted living home meets Alaska state certification and has Medicaid approval, only allowing up to five residents, which gives a smaller and safer community, and it's built to help residents who can't safely live by themselves but don't need full-time nursing care. The care team stays awake and on-site all day and night, able to assist with many daily tasks like bathing, dressing, using the bathroom, and grooming, and they can bring in services like a mobile stylist if someone wants a haircut or needs extra help. They also create meal plans for people with certain health needs, such as those with high blood pressure or diabetes, and their caregivers handle more complex needs like insulin shots, two-person transfers, and Alzheimer's care for memory loss.
Residents live in a secure space, which helps prevent anyone from getting lost or wandering off, an option some families find helpful, especially when someone has been diagnosed with a memory condition. They offer a range of activities suited for all, with things like a book room, hot tub, steam or health room, yard spaces, and recreation rooms, plus there are scheduled group activities, movie nights, and fitness or wellness plans that can include music therapy, art programs, animal visits, board games, and outdoor relaxation. Staff can arrange rides for medical needs, shopping trips, or visits to faith communities. The community pays special attention to adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities and adult men with mental illness, providing the extra care and support those groups might need. Overall, Big Lake Country Club I focuses on offering a steady, comfortable, and safe home for seniors and adults needing extra support, making sure every resident gets help tailored to what they need in a setting with some unique country club features.
