Guardian Angels offers many types of care for older adults, and folks who live here can choose from independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and home care services so people with different needs can all find the right fit. The staff helps with things like bathing, dressing, moving around, and medicine, and there's always someone available day and night because they've got a 24-hour supervision system with an emergency alert for safety and quick help. There are special areas at Guardian Angels for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and these offer specialized activities, programs, and a dementia-friendly secure environment that helps keep people from wandering and feeling confused.
In the independent living section, older adults can enjoy a maintenance-free way of life with furnished rooms, walking paths, a garden, an arts room, a library, and even a salon and barber shop, so there's less to worry about and more time for hobbies or visiting with neighbors. There are activities run by residents along with community-sponsored events like the Angels & Birdies Golf Tournament, social picnics, bingo, and programs for caregivers, and they take pride in things like the "Connected Communities" Grant and other outreach programs that support not only those living in Guardian Angels but also the local community. Everyone can take part in all-day, restaurant-style dining with meal preparation that includes special diets for diabetes or allergies, and housecleaning, laundry, and dry cleaning are part of the services, too.
When someone needs more medical help, Guardian Angels has skilled nursing with round-the-clock care, help with wounds, rehabilitation after illness or surgery, and lots of coordination with outside healthcare providers. For memory care, there are specific therapies, cognitive activities, and trained staff to help residents keep their skills as much as possible, plus a dementia waiver program and extra help for people with mild cognitive problems. Respite care gives family caregivers a bit of a break, and hospice services support residents and families facing serious illness. People moving in can also get help with the transition. All the way through, the focus stays on helping residents hold onto as much independence and comfort as possible while making sure there's always a helping hand when needed, and the staff aims for compassionate care, dignity, and honest connection with each resident. Guardian Angels has several different locations like Elmhurst Commons, Gracepointe Crossing, Riverwood Village, and others, with videos available for some communities, and each one tries to make everyone feel connected, welcome, and supported, whether they need just a little help now and again or full-time medical and memory support.
