Located on Sukdu Way in Anchorage, Alaska, Maple Springs of Anchorage is a residential care community that has operated for four years, with a two-story setting. It offers 135 studio and one-bedroom apartments for older adults seeking independent living, assisted living, or memory care. The community is also in a car-dependent neighborhood near parks and public transportation.
Restaurant-style dining is paired with daily classes, outings, and recreational activities that encourage an active lifestyle. Residents also have access to a movie theater, ice cream parlor, library, and fitness programs, while shuttle services provide transportation for appointments, errands, and other trips throughout Anchorage.
Thrive Assisted Living sits on Nickell Circle in the Mid-Hillside part of Anchorage. It’s a small place, just 16 beds, split between independent living and assisted living. The two-story building has been running for 7 years now.
Linequia Frazier administers the community, which is legally operated by Thrive Assisted Living, LLC. Residents get private rooms rather than shared ones. That’s worth noting if privacy matters to you or the person you’re helping place.
The neighborhood itself isn’t built for walking. Thrive’s Walk Score comes in at 4 out of 100, which the data labels car-dependent. Most errands, appointments, or outings are going to mean a car ride, not a stroll down the block.
Two things stand out on what the community actually offers: transportation services and a fitness and recreation component. Together they suggest a place that tries to counter its car-dependent location by helping residents get where they need to go, while also building movement into daily life on-site. Nothing else about dining, additional amenities, or specialized programming shows up in the confirmed data, so there isn’t more to add here truthfully.
Thrive Assisted Living is a compact, 16-bed home base in a quiet, low-walkability pocket of Anchorage, staffed under a named administrator, with private rooms and a built-in answer to the transportation problem its own location creates.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Alaska
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Alaska?
Assisted living in Alaska supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Alaska?
Assisted living in Alaska is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Alaska Medicaid cover assisted living?
Alaska Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Alaska) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 62 assisted living facilities in Alaska. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Alaska?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Alaska, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Alaska?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
