In today’s time, we are finding more and more that our elderly loved ones prefer aging at home over nursing homes and assisted living facilities for as long as possible. Keeping their independence is the main motivator. Being around things that are familiar, and adhering to their own schedule are also pretty high on the motivation list.
At Guardian Angels of Home Health, Inc. we offer many programs along with our competitive rates to help your family keep your loved ones safe, happy and secure while remaining at home.
Medicaid and Medicaid Waivers
We are now accepting Medicaid and Medicaid Waivers. Medicaid Waivers were designed in the hope of helping more of our elderly with Aging at Home. The services are the same as our clients have come to expect from us over the years through self-pay and other insurances, but at no cost to the qualified participant.

About Guardian Angels of Home Health, Inc.
After 50 years of service, Guardian Angels of Home Health, Inc. has learned that we must provide qualified caregivers who are highly trained through our home care agency. Our caregivers must be able to have the skills to perform the task at hand and still be able to be nurturing and diligent, while taking care of our clients.
Using the newest in technology to thoroughly screen our Caregivers, we obtain both federal and state criminal background checks. After verification of their credentials, they then complete competency testing. Once the Caregiver meets the criteria of Guardian Angels of Home Health, Inc. we carefully match each client with a qualified Caregiver. Once you feel satisfied with the Home Care Plan and the qualified caregiver, we will continue to work with you to assess the client’s needs and periodically review and update the Home Care Plan – so your loved ones always receive the optimal care.
All of our qualified caregivers are not only thoroughly screened, but are also bonded and insured.
Our mission statement remains the same since being established so many decades ago.
…Provide the same excellence in care that you would come to expect for your own family member. A caregiver who is truly a Guardian Angel!
