Alaska has fewer residents age 65 and older (6.8%) as compared to the national average of 12.4%. This is from the 2006 census report. 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.

Providence Horizon House
For Alaskan seniors no longer able to live alone comfortably or safely, this assisted living community promotes dignity and well-being by allowing continued participation in the responsibilities and freedoms of life. Providence Horizon House encourages residents to be as independent as possible, giving them the opportunity to make individual choices, yet keeping them close to assistance, if needed. Horizon House offers apartment style living for those who require traditional assisted living needs and has two cottages for residents with Alzheimer's and other memory disorders.

Choice, privacy, dignity and independence are cornerstones of this assisted living community. Residents live in their own apartments and receive assistance as needed with everyday tasks. The community has several common areas, including a dining room that connects with a courtyard; parlor; activity room; study and other quiet areas. The facility also has a full-service hair salon.

Assisted Living News

» If you have any questions about what is covered by Medicare, please contact them by calling 1-800-633-4227. Medication management is also offered by many residences.

» 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.

 
Having Fun As A Senior

  • 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.
