Guardian Angels Engel Haus Senior Living - Albertville

Guardian Angels Engel Haus Senior Living in Albertville, Minnesota, stands on Kassel Avenue and has a medium-sized campus with 63 senior apartments offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, transitional care, long-term care, home care, and hospice services so residents can get the help they need as their needs change. Engel Haus, founded in 1962 as a faith-based nonprofit, has a focus on providing support in the spirit of Christ's love, and staff treat each resident with dignity and respect while promoting a sense of purpose and joy, especially for people experiencing memory loss, with programs that include arts, music, and nature. The building uses controlled access for extra security, and every apartment has helpful touches like grab bars in bathrooms, walk-in showers, laundry, kitchens with appliances, storage, and options like studios and one- and two-bedroom layouts, including the Astrid and Barbel units. There are patios with gazebos, a putting green, walking paths, a garden, and even an outdoor chapel with pastoral care for peaceful moments, while inside you'll find a pub and billiard room, a library, a fitness room, a salon and barber shop, an arts room, and a café, so there are plenty of places for people to relax, learn, or be with friends, and you'll notice there's always something happening with resident-run activities, movie nights, group discussions, and special events. Meals are chef-prepared and served in a restaurant-style dining room, on the patio, or in the pub, and menus can fit special diets like diabetes or allergies, with all-day dining options. Wellness gets a boost from Wellness on Wheels, exercise rooms, and therapeutic horticulture with Eldergrow's indoor sensory garden, which can help reduce falls and agitation, improve sleep and motor skills, and lift moods. Memory care uses person-centered care plans, specialized staff, private suites, and community rooms, and offers a dementia support group along with activities like music and art. Housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and transportation services are all included, and residents benefit from an emergency alert system and constant, 24-hour supervision when needed, plus assistance with daily living like bathing, dressing, transfer help, and medication management. There's a piano for entertainment, WiFi and satellite TV, parking, a drive-under canopy for easy drop-offs, and the building sits near local restaurants, grocery stores, and green space. The Minnesota Department of Health gives Engel Haus a 4 out of 5 stars for Resident Quality of Life and Family Satisfaction, and the whole community is built around ensuring people feel safe, supported, and connected to others while maintaining dignity and choice.
