There are 32 beds, all set up as memory care, and the homes have staff trained in dementia and Alzheimer's care, staying on-site around the clock. Residents get help with bathing, dressing, grooming, moving from place to place, and daily chores such as laundry and housekeeping, with staff who help with medication, behavior concerns, and personal hygiene whenever needed. The facility's focus on safety shows with fully fenced grounds, secure doors and exits, backup power generators, and a state-of-the-art alert system to help prevent wandering.
The campus includes several homes, each with furnished rooms and sometimes kitchenettes, and the team tries to match residents with the house that best fits both their independence and care needs. Guardian Angel Homes offers more independent apartments for seniors over 55, assisted living for those needing some help but wanting to stay engaged, and full memory care for folks living with more advanced dementia. The facility is expanding with two new themed homes, called "The Tuscan" and "The Ranch," with layouts that support comfort and safety.
Meal plans are handled by registered dietitians, focusing on taste, nutrition, and any allergies or special diets, and residents eat in a shared dining room with all-day and restaurant-style service. Each home does daily baking to make things smell pleasant and feel like home. Activities get planned around both fun and cognitive stimulation, including group exercise, creative arts, movies, walks, garden time, and regular resident-run and community events. There's an arts room, walking paths, gardens, social spaces, and regular help from barbers and salon staff. The facility runs several special programs like Life Connections, Family Connect, and Holistic Wellness, emphasizing dignity, purpose, and emotional support, and there's coordination with therapists, hospice care, and outside medical professionals.
All residents get a call system in their rooms, a personal phone, and access to staff for anything from wake-up calls and transportation help to emergency response. Each care plan is personalized, adjusting as needs change, and the environment is set up to reduce stress and help people maintain as much independence as possible. Respite care is available for short stays, and staff help with appointment scheduling, community access, and support for social and recreational activities. As a family-owned and operated group, Guardian Angel Homes tries to balance independence, dignity, and choice, providing comfort and safety for seniors and their families.
