Kiwi Assisted Living Home sits about 2.4 miles outside Anchorage, Alaska, and serves as a smaller, quieter senior living place with room for up to five residents, so folks can get to know each other and the staff without much fuss or noise, making it feel more like a close group house than a big building. The home supports different living styles with single or shared bedrooms, studio layouts, and semi-private rooms. Every apartment here comes fully equipped, with safety features like emergency alert cords, wheelchair access, and 24/7 staff on site so help is always nearby. Residents get help with daily things such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and managing medications, whether they need a steady hand in the shower, reminders to take pills, or someone to check for general health.
The staff can modify meals for diabetes, high blood pressure, allergies, or weight management, and folks who need it can get help with feeding. There are snacks every day, and a dining hall where three regular meals are served. Additionally, a licensed staff nurse or on-site dietitian keeps an eye on health needs, and the RN does regular health assessments. The team covers tasks like incontinence management, transfer help, and non-ambulatory care, as well as coordination with doctors, hospitals, or therapy services as needed.
Kiwi ALH has strong support for folks living with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or dementia, as they offer specialized programs and secured areas, including memory care and scheduled activities just for those with cognitive challenges. There's also on-site physical therapy, rehabilitation, and massage therapy if you need them. Caregivers step in to assist with moving around, using the bathroom, or managing tricky days.
Life here aims to be as active as each person likes, with daily planned programs, movie and theater nights, book rooms, game areas, and social gatherings in the evenings, plus fitness routines, animal therapy, arts and crafts classes, music therapy, and outdoor walks. There's a sauna, jacuzzi, landscaped walking trails, a garden, and space for small pets. Residents can head out with arranged rides for errands, appointments, or faith services, and there's a stylist/parlor and a mobile hairdresser for a trim when it's time. Cleaning and laundry get handled by staff, which means less to worry about.
Community reviews place Kiwi ALH in the middle with a score of 5 out of 10, and the facility keeps close tabs on local conditions in terms of health, weather, or crime to keep residents safe and aware. The focus stays on helping people stay as independent as possible, giving them help when they need it but always trying to encourage freedom and choice-whether someone wants a quiet day with a book from the big library, to join in a group craft project, enjoy a special occasion party, or relax in the garden or café. The home uses a resident-first approach, relies on up-to-date care standards, and maintains a detailed care schedule to make sure nothing slips through the cracks for any of the five residents, whether it's meal planning, medication reminders, fall prevention classes, or spontaneous help with everyday needs.
