Ravens' Roost Cohousing

Ravens' Roost Cohousing is an independent living community located on Anchorage's lower Hillside, about 15 minutes from downtown. It is a multi-generational cohousing neighborhood where residents live independently while participating in a self-governing community built on shared values, trust, and consensus-based decision making. Daily life here centers on resident involvement and mutual commitment rather than provided personal care services. Members take part in shaping community life together, and the setting may appeal to independent older adults who are drawn to a collaborative living model and want to be part of a multi-generational neighborhood rather than an age-restricted or clinically staffed setting. Residents are encouraged to bring their own perspectives and beliefs, with unity coming from shared commitments rather than a single set of religious or philosophical practices. Because this is an independent living, self-governed cohousing community, it does not provide assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or other hands-on medical or personal care services. Families considering this option for a parent or partner who may need daily care assistance should confirm directly with the community what support, if any, is available or arranged through outside providers.
