Overview of Primrose Retirement Community of Wasilla

Facebook X (Twitter) Instagram LinkedIn

Primrose Retirement Community of Wasilla, which opened in 2018, has had memory care, independent living, and assisted living in Wasilla, AK. Monthly rates begin at $4,940.

A total of 56 beds are available in one-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom apartments, and cottages. A two-bedroom is suitable for a couple relocating together or for someone seeking a companion.

Independent living refers to having your own home, access to community services, and not having anyone provide your daily care. Assisted living brings staff for daily activities, and the apartment remains yours. Memory care is supervised and secured for individuals who may wander. Respite refers to a brief stay when the regular caregiver is away or recuperating, and pets are allowed.

The structure has a pub, a movie theater, a wellness center, a beauty salon, a courtyard, a chapel, and an ice cream parlor. Scheduled transportation handles rides, while Primrose Senior University offers lifelong learning. Additional activities consist of a book club, bridge games, walking, and ice cream socials.

Wasilla’s Primrose has a Walk Score of 31, indicating it is car-dependent, thus expect to drive for most errands. Having all three levels in one location allows someone whose needs change to remain. Tauna Norman serves as the administrator, while the community is operated by Primrose Senior Holdings, LLC.
