Next Steps – The Basics
Once you or loved one has decided that an assisted living residence is a good next step, there are a few things that you can do to make the move easier. If you don’t have a will, or Miller’s Trust (estate trust) in place, you may want to talk to an Attorney to create one for you.
Also, if you would like to have a voice in how your healthcare and last wishes are handled, you may want to prepare an advance directive. Check out a document called Five Wishes at fivewishes.org.
Finances – What are “Waivers?”
Waiver programs offer people who meet an institutional level of care the ability to receive care in a community or assisted living residence rather than a nursing care facility. There are income limits and eligibility requirements. These waivers are called
1) Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) waiver, and
2) Alaskans Living Independently (ALI) waiver. Both are accepted at briar Rose Assisted Living.
Choosing Services – Finding a Care Coordinator
A Care Coordinator is a professional who can help navigate the waiver process. This person can assist you or your loved one in assessing your level of care and determining your individual needs. A good place to start is Care Coordination Resource of Alaska at ccralaska.org.

They offer outstanding quality care for their residents through 24-hour awake staff, delicious meals, fulltime activities staff, exceptional attention to detailed care, and a loving home-like environment. Anyone seeking placement for a loved one in the Wasilla area should contact Briarrosealf without delay. You can't go wrong with choosing to place your loved one at Briar Rose Assisted Living Facility. My mom has been residing in Briar Rose Assisted Living for a few months now, and she truly relishes her time there.
I experienced a significant accident last year, resulting in severe fractures in my ankle and wrist on my right side, leaving me with no functionality in my left arm. During this challenging time, I was fortunate to receive exceptional care at Briar Rose Assisted Living. The staff members were truly remarkable, demonstrating tremendous kindness and genuine concern for my well-being. Despite the limitations I faced, their wonderful care and support, coupled with the use of my left leg, contributed greatly to my recovery journey.
My dad came here about 1 years ago. He loved his experience here as a resident. He enjoyed all the classes they offered. He was busy doing ceramics, painting, writing and playing bingo or whatever social event was going on. He was happy to be able to eat Japanese food. There was usually menu options as well if he did not like what was on the menu. The staff really makes this place. They are all kind and really loved my dad. It made me happy to know he was being taken care of. It was a perfect place for him. They answered questions whenever I had questions about my dad or about what was going on in the community.
When I find myself worried about my mother's well-being, I turn to the Internet for guidance and search for the best assisted living care in Wasilla. Of the options that came up, Briarrosealf stood out as the top recommendation. Believing the positive reviews and reputation, I decided to put my mother in their care. Since then, I have been extremely relieved and grateful for the exceptional level of care she received. The staff at Barrier Rose strive to ensure her well-being and always prioritize her needs.
