Assisted Living Tidbits:

Often times being a senior citizen means a cut in income, and an increase in expenses. Many assisted living facilities offer money management or bill payer programs to help you manage your finances. Trained volunteers help you to prepare your checks, balance your checkbook, and also help teach you to budget and organize paperwork.

If you are still mobile, and able to get around town, and don't require daily medical attention, then an assisted living facility may not be the best option for you. In-home care, or a personal assistant may be a better choice for you, and will save you the trouble of moving and adapting a new environment. checkbook, and also help teach you to budget and organize paperwork.

Take the time to celebrate special occasions, or just celebrate life!

So you have now entered into the latter part of your life - the "Golden Years." To some, this is a time to start slowing down, and to others, the time to stop having fun.

We say 'nonsense' to that! We believe that these should be the best years of your life! Seniors can still take part in birthdays, have dessert, visit with loved ones, take up a new hobby, or even start dating again! Staying active and having fun is one of the best ways to help yourself to stay healthy!

The best way to be an effective caregiver is to take care of yourself. Often times, Caregivers (whether they are a sister, aunt, son, daughter, or even hired care) neglect their own needs and health. Caregiving may be one of the most challenging jobs one can undertake, and with the attached emotional drain that you might experience, it is easy to have your own health and well-being adversely affected. The best way to be an effective caregiver is to be able to "unplug" from your duties to exercise, sleep, take care of your personal affairs, and have fun. Most importantly, if you feel like you have too much to handle, ask for help.

Senior Apartment:
Age-restricted multiunit housing with self-contained living units for older adults who are able to care for themselves. Usually no additional services such as meals or transportation are provided.

Great questions and comments that we have received about Alaska assisted living & senior care:

My 94-year-old dad is currently at a facility in Anchorage and has just started wandering. He's had dementia for years, but this is a negative change. I am not sure if it's Alzheimer's. He is ambulatory but is incontinent. Everyone loves him and the facility wants to keep him, but we're scared with the wandering.

Do you have any openings? Do you keep a waiting list--we could make a deposit. Does he sound like the type of resident you work with? We really want a facility that is more secure, and with a better staffing ratio.

Q: How do I go about opening an assisted living facility and getting it licensed in the State of Alaska?

A: We recommend first that you look at Alaska's Assisted Living Licensing Program site to get specifics on licensing procedures, and then look through our "How To Open" page that discusses the steps that you need to take.

Alaska has fewer residents age 65 and older (7.7%) as compared to the national average of 13.0% (Source: U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Alaska). However, the need for assisted living in Alaska is growing, and there are challenges. Due to the geographic complexity of the state, assisted living may not be as accessible to many of the seniors living in outlying areas.

The Population of Alaskans 65 years and older is expected to grow by 5% to 6% annually from 2008 to 2020. The need for assisted living and long term care options in Alaska is also expected to grow in the years to come.

The State of Alaska offers a "Senior Information Office" which is under the guidance of their 'Senior & Disability Services' department. This office coordinates and manages programs that are intended to support Alaska's elderly and senior populations. Assistance in the areas of housing, nutrition, transportation, Elder Fraud & Assistance and several more is listed on their office webpage. In addition, information about Alaska's Long Term Care Ombudsman is available. The Long Term Care Ombudsman’s Office can help to identify complaints and issues relevant to seniors that reside in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Currently there are over 300 facilities in the State of Alaska that this office covers. Intro by D. Besnette

[Video] Assisted Living Directory Original Tip and Tutorial
Creating a video for your assisted living facility can be a great way to help further promote your facility and widen the reach of your marketing efforts. However, there is a big difference between a professional looking and unique video and a poor-quality, amaterur-ish looking effort. One of the ways you can enhance your facility's video is by using a slider to create a dynamic sense of movement. In this video tutorial, we talk about how to use a slider, and we've included a few examples where we have used one.
