Care Center Expansion Completed
Following the groundbreaking ceremony on October 24, 2006 Guardian Angels of Elk River launched its latest capital project to respond to the health needs of seniors in its northwest metropolitan service area. The capital project, consisting of approximately 40,000 square feet of new and renovated space in i  ts Care Center, will result in 42 new private resident rooms, new medical services, new offices and other mprovements.
The 42 new resident rooms - located in a residential styled addition of approximately 27,000 square feet - enabled Guardian Angels to add two distinct programs that are much needed by seniors in the communities around its central campus in Elk River: a 24-bed Transitional Care Unit and a 18-bed Memory Care Unit.

The new addition will allow us to create 42 private resident rooms complete with added amenities in the rooms such as a kitchenette, private shower, television, telephone and Internet capability. It also allows for the creation of two very distinct services that are greatly needed: a Transitional Care Unit to provide rehabilitation services and a Memory Care Unit for seniors. 
more residential style will characterize the newly constructed space both internally and externally. The interior design allows for resident neighborhoods to be developed with shorter corridors, intimate lounge spaces, ample common areas, residential style dining and larger resident rooms. The exterior will feature a mixture of building materials as well as a pitched roof (rather than the traditional flat roof), porches and courtyard space.
