At one point in someone’s life, they are going to need help in caring for themselves. The older we get, the more we realize the things we used to do while we were younger are more difficult to do this time around. For example, driving yourself around to the store to gather all the groceries you need, hitting the gym and lifting weights, and cleaning around the house.

When we are young, our bones intend to last us a lifetime, but overtime these bones get more and more fragile, which is why some people develop arthritis, joint pain, or find it harder to bend down, kneel, or get into hard to reach areas like we did as children.

Aged care comes in many different forms. It doesn’t have to mean moving into a residential facility. In fact, you can stay in your own home while enjoying all the benefits of a great community. Read on to learn more about Turnagain Social Club and the many benefits we offer.

What is an Adult Day Center?

Do not be intimidated by this term. At an adult day center, we do not treat you like a child. Instead, we help you try to regain your youth, liveliness, and sharpness through various activities, games, events, and so much more! An adult day center in a nutshell is a place where elderly individuals can go to when they feel as though they can no longer take care of themselves due to old age.

Some people have a challenging time accepting the fact that they are getting old, and our bodies don’t function the way they used to. Some people may think reaching out for elderly care is a sign of weakness – but, in fact, it’s the total opposite. Would you rather struggle on your own or have a little assistance every now and then? Never be afraid to ask for help!

Turnagain Social Club is an adult day center located in Anchorage, Alaska. We provide therapeutic activities, high level supervision, nursing services, meals, personal care, and even transportation. We are dedicated to taking care of the growing population of Alaska’s seniors. We need to ensure our elders are getting the proper support system they need.

What Services Will Be Provided?

At almost every adult day center or home care facility, the way companies do certain things will be different across the board. At Turnagain Social Club, we strive to be the best adult day center Anchorage has to offer. Check out some of the services we offer below that make us different from the rest.

Activities That Encourage Socialization and Engagement

It’s important for seniors and elders to keep engaged, especially as they get older. At Turnagain Social Club, we offer a bountiful number of activities that will ensure our seniors are getting the brain stimulation they need to keep their skills nice and sharp. For example, we offer:

Audiobooks
Trivia
Sewing/cross stitch/knitting
Cooking activities
Arts and crafts

And much more!

If you are looking to go out in the community, don’t worry. We won’t keep you cooped up.

Meal Services

One of the things that gets tiring and harder the older we get is having to prepare food for ourselves. As elders, the last thing you want to worry about it the next meal you have to make, but it takes a lot out of you.

Turnagain Social Club makes it easy for our elders. We want to be able to provide them with everything they need in order to live a happy and fulfilling life, which is why we offer meal services. You don’t even have to think twice about meals because they will be provided for you every single day. If you have any dietary restrictions or any food allergies, please be sure to let us know.

Transportation Services

Another thing that makes Turnagain Social Club different from other home care facilities or adult day centers is the use of transportation. After a fun filled day, we are more than happy to pick you up or drop you off back to your home. We believe that our elders deserve some type of transportation, whether that be from getting to and from your house or to and from an appointment.

We believe that you should always have access to all resources without any limitations. We understand how important it is to get outside and go to the places that make you the happiest, and at Turnagain Social Club we are more than happy to support you.

A Safe and Clean Environment

Another reason why Turnagain Social Club is one of the leading adult day centers in Alaska is due to the cleanliness and safety we provide for our seniors. We believe that your living should promote an environment that feels comforting, peaceful, and stress free.

Our building is equipped with constant surveillance to make sure everyone is safe at all times. If something were to happen in the middle of the night, such a fall, our team of experienced and professional staff members will make sure to be there for you every step of the way. We also provide handicap-accessible entrances and elevators to accommodate all.

Experience Fun at Turnagain Social Club

The older we get, the more we realize how important it is to do the things we enjoy and to spend time with the people we love. We learn to cherish all the memories and time we have with certain loved ones, family, and friends and really sit back and reflect on how great our life has become and is turning out to be.

Often times, we learn that sometimes we just can’t do it all anymore. Seniors need our help eventually and that is why we are here to give them an experience like no other with endless activities, a chance to engage with other seniors, share their stories, and build connections like no other.

At Turnagain Social Club, we love what we do. We love being able to enrich the lives of Anchorage's growing senior population, and it makes us super excited for what’s ahead. If you or someone you know is looking for an adult day service in Alaska, please be sure to give Turnagain Social Club a call. We make sure to provide services that support our community and protect our members through educating, caring, and igniting opportunity.
