Experience overall at Guardian Angels was very good. There were a few exceptional staff members whom I wanted to mention. On the 3rd shift, the nurse was good as when I asked for pain meds I got right away. Zeke, the aide was exceptional. He was the best. He was caring and attentive and would make sure he did everything possible to make me comfortable. I can't say enough good things about him. The first shift was good, too. Nicole (the one with blond hair, don't know last name) was great. She would give me pain pills when needed if it was time to get some more. She was very caring and friendly with me. She was the best nurse there who helped me. Maria ( I don't know last name but she was tall with dark hair) went above and beyond for me. She was so sweet, kind, friendly, and caring of her patients. She was like a granddaughter to me. I just loved her. When i didn't have her as an aide, she would wave when going by my room or just say hi when seeing me in hall walking. Amanda (aide) helped me get dressed, washed up, teeth brushed, and even put lotion on my back and legs. I never had an aide do that for me. It was so nice to have that care on my last day, the day I was going home. This was the second time I went here for care. The first time was 10 years ago, so many things changed just like anything else. I would recommend this place to anyone who needed transitional care.

Although my husband was only at Guardian Angels for about six weeks, I commend the staff on their compassionate and skilled care during his stay. They always treated him with respect and kindness and this applied to our family as well. The staff were open in dealing with us and their support in providing the care that he needed is greatly appreciated.

I can't say enough good about this place! Everyone at Guardian Angels has been wonderful and kind to us. Placing a parent is tough and extremely emotional but everyone there made this process a little smoother and brighter. The business office staff has been so very helpful with the county and financial questions. When you have never gone through anything like this before...you don't know what you don't know! My mom really likes it here and the staff is very good to her. It is a very clean and up to date facility all on one level. So my mom can get her walking/exercise in, with the use of her walker, and doesn't have to use any elevators. She walks to the Beauty Shop and also the Coffee Shop. Everyone knows her name and are also very friendly. She loves being teased by some of the nurses and aids. There are also many activities on a daily basis for her to do or go to, if she chooses. I am so Thankful & Grateful for Guardians Angels Care Center!!

Horrible place. Our grandma had to go there after surgery. The food was horrible, they only have 2 options and neither were edible. They were always cold and the choices were horrible and disgusting. The staff took forever to show up when you push the button for help. There were times it was 45 minutes before anyone showed up to help. Then they would leave my grandma on the toilet for 20 minutes alone sometimes before coming back to help her off. Their care and practices are very unsafe. She had just had hip surgery from a fall she should have never been left alone. They would rarely change her clothes or clean her. They failed to do skin assessments on her and she developed a pressure ulcer. There is nothing nice to say about this place. If you are looking into care for a family member I suggest looking elsewhere.
