Hello, my name is Paula McGuire and I am the proud owner and operator of Guardian Angel Assisted Living (GAAL) I actually fell into this business quite by accident and thrilled that I did. I have found this work to be my life's calling and I have a sincere passion caring for the elderly. This is much more than just a job for me and I have the good fortune of operating this business out of my home. This is a win-win situation to have a gratifying life-style and provide a cozy "home-style" atmosphere for the residents Icare for. They are much more than just residents to me. They are a part of my extended family.
I was born, raised and have lived in Wisconsin virtually all of my life. It is my home. I reside in Janesville approximately thirty miles east of Madison Wisconsin. I spent many years raising and caring for my family as a home-maker and in a successful retail management career. Coupling my professional background with my God given talent and desire for caring for the elderly is a perfect combination for this business. Donald Ahlquist was a former employer, friend, and father figure. As fate would have it, a series of events lead me to care for him in my home when he became too feeble to do so for himself. During the last twelve years of his life I gained the experience, training and network out of which my new career and GAAL was created.
My goal is to provide the best possible quality care, attention and atmosphere for seniors in need of assistance in their daily routine. In addition to the hands-on experience I have been trained in resident handling, such as transfers and bathing, CPR basic medic and first aid procedures, and safety awareness for the resident and the environment in which they reside. I will continue attending seminars for caretakers in Rock County and training programs. Since this is a small business with only a few residents special licensing is not required. However l have received numerous accolades from the residents, those associated with the residents and through out the local community on both professional and personal level. Various other professional health care providers I am associated with will be happy to provide verification of my qualifications. I believe the most attractive quality about GAAL is that you can be rest assured that your loved one will be receiving the same care and attention that they would in your own home. If you wish to discuss my services in more detail, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your interest in GAAL.
