The Marietta House Assisted Living Home

The facility is beautiful and the staff are caring. However, the family encourages the family advocate to work with established providers that they are familiar with and then kept telling me ‘to trust them, not worry - just enjoy your Mom- denying me the right to access of information. I challenged the providers about this behavior and Bonnie refused from that point on to talk with me and avoided me. My Mom had to push to get blood work which showed she had not deteriorated like the hospice staff had reported she would. (Mom and I were both told separately- how inappropriate to tell my Mom alone- that she probably wouldn’t live through the weekend.) Six weeks later we insisted on blood work and Mom was discharged back to Marlow Manor being told - by Alex and the children - we - were going to visit “Mom”. But never did. The food is excellent - but the food portions are small - my Mom lost 18 pounds. ..... the family snacks much of the day. Additionally, the caregivers in the room next to my Mom sold river side property and cabin to Alex - is that considered appropriate? Mom state’s - “She failed hospice!” And we were very grateful for the additional years we had at Marlow Manor. An informed advocate needs to be welcomed - not demeaned and put off. PS at the time my mom was there- the only nurses coming were hospice nurses.

Alex & Bonnie of The Marietta House have been wonderful to work with, and extremely helpful in navigating the process of finding an Assisted Living Facility that fits all of my Grandfather's needs. They are more than happy to give advice & recommendations even if their facility is not the perfect fit for your Loved One. The Marietta House truly has a family home feeling, and it always smells like delicious home cooked meals. I would absolutely recommend The Marietta House to those in need of their services.

On behalf of my family, I would like to offer our recommendation of the Marietta House as a wonderful Assisted Living Facility located here in Anchorage, Alaska. We were drawn to the small, family oriented aspect of it and as we learned more about it, we were very impressed with the attention to detail, cleanliness and commitment to providing the very best care for our family member. We spent a lot of time there ourselves visiting our family member and we felt welcomed and comfortable - like we were hanging out together as an extended family at our home away from home. We feel incredibly lucky that an opening was available at their facility when we were in great need and we will always have fond, thankful memories of owners Alex and Bonnie Lommel, their family and staff.
