Aegis of Lake Union

About the facility

Take in sweeping views of Lake Union and the Space Needle from our extraordinary assisted living and memory care community, located in the very heart of the Emerald City. If you love the vibrancy of Seattle, you will feel right at home here in this urban oasis.

Aegis Living Lake Union is the world’s first assisted living community built to meet the rigorous sustainability building standards of a Living Building Challenge Petal Certification. It is designed to be emission-free and energy-efficient, and harnesses solar power and rainwater. Inspired by the history of rowing on Lake Union, the community’s architecture resembles a shell house design, and the exterior features a striking mural of the legendary rowing team from the University of Washington who won Gold in the 1936 Olympics.

Enjoy chef-prepared meals, innovative programming, and a wealth of on-site health and wellness amenities to relax and embrace life in your new home. We offer around-the-clock assistance tailored to each person’s specific needs, and warmly accommodate couples with differing care needs. Our community is powered by a big-hearted team providing thoughtful, personal care to every resident.

Best in Class!

I’ve lived at Lake Union for over two years with my lovely wife. We enjoy all of the wonderful care we get and interesting activities. We are very pleased with the kind and open hearted staff. We feel at home and feel like we can live happily. We especially enjoy the food that’s served with care.

Love the Activities

As you get older, you need to find a place like this where you can enjoy activities and meet friends. I enjoy my great view apartment, the location is great for walking, and I enjoy the activities like daily walks, dance exercise, outings, and music. The staff and residents are very nice. Food is wonderful. Overall, it’s a great place to live!

Wonderful home and excellent staff

Aegis Lake Union is such a great community with an amazing group of people. The staff genuinely care about the residents and always go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. They’re always stopping by to offer snacks, coffee, or water plus I always see the team and residents laughing with good banter every time I visit! You can really tell how much effort the team puts into creating a warm and positive environment. It’s a wonderful place filled with genuinely kind and caring people!

Great place with my dog

Everything is taken care of for me. The place is beautiful and I can keep my dog here. We take walks in the neighborhood and enjoy the views from the sixth floor deck. The staff is great! Always on the ball, friendly, and supportive in every way!

Great place to live

I’ve been a resident for two years. The staff and service is impeccable. The residents are friendly with each other. I would recommend this to all my family and that’s the best recommendation I can give. I have a very nice view apartment.

Great welcoming place!

Came to visit a good family friend and immediately the place was lively with activities going on for the residents. The decor of the place was very beautiful and modern with many Eastlake mementos. I Their facilities looked clean and I really enjoyed my stay here! The staff were attentive and helpful. Everyone was super caring and I feel secure knowing my friend is in good hands.

Amazing Care Team & Gorgeous Views

I'm so happy with the care my mom receives. The care team is exceptional. She receives the assistance she needs, is actively engaged, loves the food, and has made friends. This transition has given us tremendous peace of mind knowing that she's safe and well cared for. Plus, the building is absolutely gorgeous and the lake and city view spectacular!

Beautiful facility- Limited Access

Food is good in the main dining room. Staff is nice and seems well trained and very kind. Activities are OK in Life's Neighborhood- much better in Assisted Living. It is very clean and well maintained. A beautiful building.

Highly Recommended!

I would give Aegis a 10 if I could! They have been spectacular. Communication has been A-Plus. From being able to do a Zoom meeting with Mom before she moved, to meeting her and being ready for her when she arrived this past Saturday. I am still in Dallas but my husband has already moved to Seattle, so he has seen the facility and has helped her get settled in. He says it is absolutely beautiful, perfectly clean, and THE nicest facility he has ever seen. The views out over Lake Union are lovely, and the Koi pond is so pretty and relaxing. The food is delicious too! He has had a meal there with Mom and was impressed with their chef. Her room is nice. I don't know the size of it but he says it is comfortable and clean. I'll see it this weekend when we visit.

Aegis family member

My loved one is a resident at Aegis of Lake Union. Most important is to clearly understand level of staffing. Is there adequate coverage during day and night? It seems like they are not always fully staffed. The staff that they do have is excellent. A second issue that drives me crazy is how the laundry works. Every day there are strange clothes in my loved one's closet and I have no idea where many of his clothes are. Once, I saw a resident wearing my vest (not my loved one's) from my work. The laundry is a small issue. but it drives me crazy. I haven't seen the new grey towels that I provided since July. Food prep is also important- we never ate fried or junk food at home. There seems to be more reliance on this type of food now than there was in the beginning. They don't seem to have as many salads. Overall, I am happy and grateful to the personal care and attention that the staff have provided to my loved one and his care.

Beautiful facility with friendly staff

When it comes to the activities the music is awesome, however our loved one is not currently participating in many of the other activities for personal reasons. I wish she would because they look great. We would definitely recommend Aegis of Lake Union to other families looking for a place for their loved ones.
