The facility is clean, well-maintained, and has a warm, comfortable atmosphere. There are plenty of activities that keep residents engaged and social, and it’s clear the staff genuinely care about each person’s well-being. The dining options are excellent, with nutritious meals and a good variety of choices.

After extensive research my brother, sister and I decided to choose Guardian Angels By the Lake because we thought nursing homes were to dry and cold feeling. Guardian Angels is pleasant and warm feeling more like home because it’s assisted living, and one of the best assisted living facilities I have ever seen. I trust Guardian Angels with my mother and that should tell you something.
