At Guardian Angels, we understand the challenges and uncertainty that can arise when a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or another dementia-related condition. More than fifty years ago, we made a commitment to treat every resident with compassion, dignity, and respect, and we continue to live that commitment in our dedicated memory care suites.

Memory loss is different for everyone. We create an individualized, person-centered care plan that meets the unique needs of each resident and their families.

Our memory care suites, located within our assisted living communities, blend the intimacy of one-on-one attention and private suites with the socialization of a spacious community room and a campus with numerous amenities.
