Noahs Ark Assisted Living Home II sits in the Fairview neighborhood of Anchorage, Alaska, and has been serving seniors since 2009, offering both assisted living and memory care. This small care home only allows up to five residents, so people really get a family-like experience where everyone knows each other and caregivers can focus on individual needs. The staff is there 24/7, and nurses come by for regular visits. They help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, bathroom needs, medication, and sometimes even insulin shots or two-person transfers if a person needs it, though what's offered depends on each resident. There's secure entry and monitoring, especially important for folks with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. In fact, the home does more than the usual assisted living by offering a higher level of supervision and a locked home to make sure memory care residents stay safe.
Residents eat three homemade meals every day, with options for people who need special diets like those managing diabetes or high blood pressure, and a traveling hairstylist sometimes comes by, which feels like a treat for many. The house feels as much like a home as possible, kept clean and orderly, with garden spots, a reading room, games, a hot tub or wellness room, and community spaces for activities or movie nights. There are planned events with music, tabletop games, maybe even some animal therapy or art, and they do their best to get folks outside to relax. Transportation can be set up for medical appointments or errands, and staff help residents take part in community events if they're able and willing. Families appreciate how the staff keeps things joyful, kind, and helpful, making the place friendly and easy to join in for new residents.
Noahs Ark Assisted Living Home II allows private pay, long-term care insurance, and Veteran's Aid and Attendance-starting at about $4,500 per month for memory care, though it does change based on care needs and room choice. In general, the setting works well for seniors who need help with everyday activities and maybe some extra memory support, all in a small, secure, and neighborly setting that puts care and comfort up front, without feeling institutional.
