Life at Angels Guest Home includes simple pleasures like flowers, home-baked cookies, and decorations for holidays, while staff organize social and recreational activities such as music, crafts, board games, pet therapy, and community nights. Residents might watch movies together, attend faith-based outings, or enjoy outdoor relaxation in the landscaped gardens and walking paths. Transportation is offered for doctor's visits and errands, and family and friends are welcome to join for events or celebrations like birthdays. There's help with getting in and out of the shower, as well as round-the-clock monitoring for safety, including emergency alert systems throughout the building. Some rooms look out on yard spaces and the whole place is wheelchair accessible. Angels Guest Home assists seniors using SSI, accepts residents through the Assisted Living Waiver Program, and works with the San Diego Regional Center.
