Our Communities

Compassionate, Dignified Care

We offer memory care at these three locations:

Elk River
Albertville
Otsego

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.

JOURNEY Dementia Program

Guardian Angels is dedicated to providing exceptional care and services for our residents experiencing memory loss. Our focus is on creating a sense of joy and purpose within a secure community setting.

We believe choice, dignity, respect and purposeful living are the foundations for dementia care.

JOURNEY
Joy-Optimistic-Understanding-Relationship-Nurture-Enriched-You

We recognize that everyone walks a unique JOURNEY. Guardian Angels supports residents and families on their path and helps them navigate the JOURNEY.

Our qualified, trained staff specializes in dementia education opportunities for family and community members. We provide programs which help relationships blossom through Arts, Music and Nature along with individualized areas of interest and person-centered care.
