Northern Comfort Assisted Living sits at 2800 N Lagoon Dr in Wasilla, Alaska, and has served seniors since 2002 when Merri Belle and David Dias started it. The community runs out of a three-story building surrounded by nature and trees, offering a quiet and comfortable spot that aims to feel like home. The team has over 100 years of combined experience caring for senior needs, and staff are on-site 24 hours to help with daily activities, emergencies, and specialized care. Residents can get assisted living, memory care, and residential care home services here, plus some skilled nursing and intermittent nursing care, including help with incontinence and medication management.
The rooms are private or semi-private, already furnished, and designed for accessibility; there's bathroom help and wheelchair access. The place has emergency alert systems for extra safety. New residents receive help moving in. Housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and maintenance get handled by staff so chores don't get in the way. The kitchen prepares meals with quality ingredients and offers all-day dining, scheduled mealtimes, special diets for allergies or diabetes, and snacks.
Northern Comfort Assisted Living has walking paths, a garden, regular movie nights, community-sponsored activities, and transportation for going out or getting to appointments. Fitness and recreation programs help everyone stay active, and parking is available. The care team works to support health and well-being while encouraging social time with others. They want residents to feel cared for, safe, and at ease, focusing on what each person needs in their day-to-day life. The setting uses a board and care home style for small group living, so residents get a more personal atmosphere.
The building was made to feel welcoming and fits right in with the Alaska landscape. A virtual tour is offered for those who want a look inside before visiting. The main goal at Northern Comfort Assisted Living is to help expand the lives of seniors who could use support with their everyday routines, always aiming for comfort, dignity, and peace of mind.
