Heritage Place

Heritage Place sits in Soldotna, Alaska, about 7 miles from Kenai, and this community gives care and support to older adults and people with disabilities who need help every day, whether for a short time or through long-term stays, and you'll find both assisted living and memory care, with a nursing home service for those who need more medical help. Staff help with bathing, dressing, and taking medicines, while others provide company and non-medical care for people who want it, and folks get their pick of studio rooms in a community that cares about treating people with dignity and helping them feel connected. Meals come prepared with quality ingredients, and they put together activities aiming to keep residents social, moving, curious, and feeling good emotionally, and they even run things like devotional programs, recreational therapy, and intergenerational events with kids coming in throughout the year, which really gives the place a bit of spark. The Sitka Rose community only cares for those with dementia, offering special programs and support for memory loss, and Heritage Place is certified by the state and a member of the National Planetree Alliance, which means it focuses on person-centered care and health and wellness of everyone. The home can handle diabetic care, incontinence, and non-ambulatory needs, and provides both short-term and ongoing rehabilitation services, as well as discharge planning to help people go home safely when they're ready. You'll also find barbershop services, common indoor and outdoor spaces, and a sense that they try to help both residents and families find the help and answers they need about Medicaid and Medicare, veterans' benefits, care costs, and how to plan for long-term care, and they offer guidance about picking assisted living or home care. They also run caregiver training and have job resources, including training in Spanish and classes about dementia and residential assisted living, and there's a management service called "Find Senior Care" for those needing more help figuring choices out. If you need to learn about agencies on aging or compare costs in Alaska, they offer those resources, and their continuing care keeps people supported over time. Heritage Place holds a 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and has 55-plus beds. Some of their unique amenities include family-centered offerings like Lactation Services and safety and health education programs such as Safe Kids, Safe Sitter, and American Heart Association Training, all helping to support the wellbeing of people at different ages.
