Restorative Care to Get You Home Sooner

The transitional care unit at Guardian Angels Care Center in Elk River, Minnesota, offers exceptional, personalized restorative nursing care and therapy, bridging the gap between a hospital stay and home. We help to facilitate recovery and ease the transition in a supportive, compassionate environment with experienced, highly trained staff members. We provide dignified care for seniors who need services following a joint replacement, cardiac issues or stroke, or respiratory illness as well as assistance improving balance and strength.
