Overview of Providence Horizon House

Tucked away in Anchorage’s U-MED District, Providence Horizon House has been a staple for assisted living and memory care for about 25 years. You’ll find them at 4140 Folker St., sitting just five miles from downtown. It’s less than a quarter-mile from the local hospital, which is convenient for medical access. With a Walk Score of 68, you can actually get a few errands done on foot, which is a nice perk. Just a heads-up: it’s a non-smoking campus, though they do welcome pets, and residents need to be 55 or older.

When it comes to living arrangements, they offer private apartments that come with their own kitchenettes and bathrooms. Self-contained space is really important if someone values their independence rather than dealing with a shared setup. They also have dedicated cottages for memory care if that level of support is needed, plus respite stays if your family is just working through a transition.

Their care program is pretty comprehensive. They handle the daily stuff: grooming, hygiene, routine support, along with nutrition classes and help from a dietitian. Beyond the basics, residents can tap into medical, dental, and therapeutic services, plus they have spiritual care and a volunteer program.

They involve the residents in the dining process; a resident-led menu committee helps decide what’s being served, and they provide three meals plus snacks every day. The activity calendar is also quite varied, featuring everything from fitness groups and baking to crafts, bingo, music, art classes, and even field trips.

You’ll find common areas like a library and a computer lab on-site, and every apartment comes set up with cable, phone, and Wi-Fi.

Providence Horizon House is a well-established Anchorage community. If you’re over 55 and looking for a setup that combines private-apartment living with on-site memory care, a reliable activity schedule, and a walkable location near medical services, this is a solid place to consider.

Overview of Sunrise House

Five beds define the scale of Sunrise House, a small community in Wasilla, Alaska covering memory care, assisted living, independent living, and nursing home care at 801 S. Hermon Rd. That small footprint tends to mean something specific: staff who know residents well, and a quieter day-to-day rhythm than a larger building could offer. Getting around outside the property takes some planning, since the Walk Score here is 39, somewhat walkable at best.

Daily support covers routine assistance along with massage therapy services, an amenity that shows up less often at this scale. The building itself includes a theater room, walking trails, and a beauty shop, giving residents a handful of on-site options without needing to leave or rely on members of their families to be free to drive them to outside appointments. Meals come with accommodations built in, both for special dietary needs and for residents who need help eating, a detail that matters for a community this size, where meal planning can flex around individual residents rather than a standard menu.

This is a small, closely-staffed community built around personalized daily support and a handful of on-site amenities, suited to residents and families who want a more intimate setting over a larger, more institutional one.

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 61 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.
