Operating for over a decade, Guardian Angel Homes Memory Care is a residential care community in Hermiston, Oregon, that offers memory support, personal care, and respite care. Administered by Jennifer Cicero under Hermiston Healthcare, LLC, this 32-bed community has a small, home-like environment that highlights personalized support and a welcoming residential atmosphere.
The community focuses on providing care for those living with dementia or other forms of memory-related conditions, promoting familiarity, consistency, and specialized staff training. Additionally, its smaller size supports stronger relationships between residents and caregivers.
Recurring concerns that include kitchen sanitation, food safety, administrative compliance, and staffing documentation have been identified by the Oregon Department of Human Services, Aging and People across multiple review cycles. Additional findings related to resident care, fire and life safety, and activities were also cited during a re-licensure survey. However, no fines or enforcement actions have been issued, and some identified concerns have been corrected over time.
With a Walk Score of 89, the community’s location in central Hermiston provides convenient access to daily errands within walking distance. Its setting within Umatilla County also makes visits convenient for family members traveling from different parts of eastern Oregon.
