Angel Guardian Assisted Living in Merritt Island provides assisted-living support with an emphasis on medical oversight. The staff is equipped to care for residents who wander during the day or night, stay up all night, require oxygen, follow special diets, are younger than 60, or manage diabetes with either oral medication or insulin injections. The community also accepts and supports residents living with advanced dementia, ensuring routines and supervision fit their changing needs.
Additional safety measures include a 24-hour nurse on call, an awake night shift, routine background checks for employees, a fenced rear area, and a Wander Guard system. A visiting podiatrist handles foot-care needs on site. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they perform transfers ranging from standby supervision to one-person lifts for walkers or wheelchairs. Daily activity programming is directed by an activity director to encourage engagement and socialization.
Resident rooms are available furnished, and many allow tenants to paint or decorate to suit personal preferences. Cable service can be provided, though not every accommodation includes every feature, so it is best to verify availability during a tour.
Dining follows a set menu with the option to order alternate selections at each meal. Snacks are available between meals, and the kitchen team manages diet modifications, including diabetic and other physician-ordered plans, to match individual nutritional requirements.
Amenities on the grounds include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
