Aegis

My dad was only there about three weeks before he passed away. I was so glad to have found that facility after touring about 10 other places that were recommended by A Place for Mom. Those other places were really depressing (both home and larger facilities). The last place I tried for my Dad was Aegis shoreline. It was a welcoming clean facility and the initial intake person was really helpful. I immediately signed up. My dad, although 100 years old was vibrant and lived independently until a series of strokes two months prior totally changed that. My dad's private room was spacious and really lovely. He was connected into the nursing staff who daily checked on him and provided care. We had to bring Hospice for the end of Dad's life. Staff was supportive and kind. The cost was what my dad could afford ( I think [fee removed] a month?? The whole facility was extremely attractive and I appreciated that is where my dad passed away.

I was treated with the utmost respect when I toured Aegis. The staff was friendly and very attentive. The community was well cared for and residents seemed happy and active. I look forward to visiting again.

The staff were very kind to my mom and always ready to help her or accommodate her requests. The food was okay but starchy without a lot of protein or fresh fruit/vegetables. Her room was small and dated. We did not get to see it due to the pandemic but it was nothing like the room I was shown a few weeks before the lock down. We asked for a room change, especially since mom did not like her suite partner, but were not allowed to move her. They have great activities and activities staff. It is over-priced. They charge on a points system and find reasons to increase points but avoid decreases. We found out later that the rent is not competitive with other assisted living facilities. Aegis also does not convert patients to Medicaid if they spend down their assets.

We give Aegis Living 5 stars for each category I feel like we are walking into an extended family community. There outside area has a beautifully fenced in yard. The staff are kind and caring to the residents and their families. There are plenty of quality activities for the residents to do. It took e 4 months of searching to find it. My husband passed away on [date removed]. It was time for hospice and I remained with him until the end. We highly recommend this community to other families.

We toured Aegis at Marymoor and the facility was beautiful, but so was the cost. The Activities Director was wonderful and kept the people going to all kinds of tours and activities. The Director at this facility talked me out of Memory Care for my loved one, saying she would be totally bored. I was so thankful that I went here. That helped me make a decision about where to move my loved one.

We toured Aegis Living of Las Vegas and it was great! The staff was fabulous and the facility was well maintained. However, the parking was limited and the community fee was substantially higher.

My daughter and I were quite pleased our whole experience at Aegis of Greenwood and would recommend it to other families. The facility is lovely and there is an outside area in good weather. The staff are caring and friendly and easy to talk with about the patient. They listen to any concerns I have. I have access to all the management team members and that is comforting. Also, it is easy to have a meal with my husband and the staff helped me when I planned a birthday surprise for my husband.

My father lived at three places prior to living at this facility. This one was the best. They have a lot of activities. The food is excellent. It's very comfortable and homey. It's not too big or too small. The staff is very attentive (including maintenance staff.) Management is always accessible. They provide housekeeping (could make beds better!). Personal Laundry service is available at an additional cost. My father eventually entered hospice there. They took care of him as their own until he passed. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

I can confidently rate Aegis of Kirkland a 5 out of 5. My brother and I found Aegis to be very clean in all the common areas as well as private areas. The food is excellent, and the staff is compassionate. They have several activities going on throughout the day. There is something that should appeal to anyone tastes. [name removed], the marketing manager, was so helpful during the transition process.

I toured Aegis at Ravenna and it was a great tour. The cleanliness and friendliness were both great, also. However, the facility cost is pretty pricey.

I toured this facility and it was amazing but over the top. It's more expensive than several others in the area and maybe too big and overwhelming. I had a 2 hour personal compassionate sit down with the director, including a tour and recommended reading list. Superb!

The staff at Aegis Lodge are friendly and responsive. My mom's room in memory care is always tidy, and she feels safe and well cared for. They provide fun, calm activities that are appropriate for memory care residents, including hitting the balloon, Bingo, singing together, and watching movies. My only concern is that it sometimes feels as if they are short staffed.

We love Aegis Madison. My mother in law is getting excellent care there. The staff is very responsive and the food is great!

They have been wonderful with my friend, I am very please with the attentiveness they give my friend. The value of cost is good for what you get within the community.

They have been a God Send to us! Bless them all!! ????Hard times right now and they are wonderful. Yes, expensive, but worth our momma! And a big Thank you, as well to A Place For Mom for helping find Aegis for her

We had a great tour experience with Aegis of Pleasant Hill. The lady who showed us around was very nice and helpful. This facility was definitely our "runner up". They were one of the only ones in this area who would actually accept my loved one with the level of care that was needed. But unfortunately it was just way too expensive.

I would highly recommend this facility! The staff is extremely helpful. Their food is really good. I've eaten there several times and it's always been good. We've even had extended family eat there and comment on how good the food is. The facility is wonderful, they keep it really nice. It's always very pleasant and even smells good. When you go in there, you know it's a special place. The nursing staff is really on top of everything and quick to move to move in emergencies. They have brought concerns to our attention and immediately taken care of them. They are extremely helpful. As are the Doctors. We're very pleased!

My dad just turned 99. He lives at Aegis Living of Kent. He moved in there in [date removed]. Amazing timing. My family chose Aegis because the vibe we got there felt personal. I believed the director and marketing person when they said they wanted my dad to feel at home and that they would try every day to care for him as we would if we could in his advancing decline into dementia. They adapted to the stressful demands of the pandemic and were able to keep the residents safe and the families informed. I have been consistently pleased with the care my dad has received even as his needs have increased. but just ten days ago I was grateful anew with the staff at my dad's home. My siblings and spouses were set to gather for my dad's milestone birthday and I had made arrangements with the staff for a party outdoors at Aegis. They took it from there and had balloons and a banner and so much love to celebrate my dad. We are grateful every day for the love they give to my dad. Thank you.

My mother has had the most loving and amazing care at the Kent facility. The caregivers have sent us video’s of my in their care, pictures and continually gives us updates. Their activities are numerous, fun and very creative. The employees from the director, chef, caregivers are truly angels. Our mother had been in another facility before Aegis and there is truly no comparison. I have peace of mind knowing my mother is so very well taken care of. Thank you Aegis

The place was great, however, from my point of view at a time there was Covid in community, so it was a lock down. Nothing bad particularly happened just because of the lockdown. My friend is not there anymore, I moved her from there because what was important for her was to have more activity around her. She was very functional, however, her short-term memory recall was and still is her entire issue. So she needed constant reminders, and whatnot. She also had a cat and she was basically locked in her room because the cat wasn't supposed to go out of the room. Her cat is the love of her life, so with that, she didn't go out of her room and really no one came into her room. Another thing was, the upper staff were all great; they were fantastic and did a perfect job. The actual caregivers were afraid of her because she had this reaction to moving out of a place that she'd lived in for 4.5 years. It triggered behaviors that she's being treated for now, but back then people wouldn't come to her and she would end up not being cared for. She really needed someone to oversee her daily movement. The cost for Aegis Living was [price removed] per month, and unless you're extremely wealthy, that will go by very quickly. Aegis also doesn't accept Title 19, whereas the community she's at does. I know the costs at these places are not low, but what I found is that it wasn't a good setting for her. The place is beautiful without question, it just may have been better under different circumcanstances. When placing a loved one - think about the person and the individual needs of that person. She's now in an adult home and is with people at all times. That has made a big difference, and the cat is able to roam outside of her room. The community she's at is cheaper, but the care is considerably different. At Aegis they have different cottages, and you eat with the people in your cottage. In her cottage there were about 9-10 different ladies, and only one of them talked. In that case, it does makes a difference who you're with. Also with Covid, there were not a lot of activities either. I don't want people to think it isn't a nice place, because it is. The grounds are beautiful and activities are better now. As we were moving her out, I did see that things were different in that regard. But, during her stay, she was not interacting with other people as much as she should have been. My point isn't to make them look awful, because they're not. There should just be a deep consideration of what your family member needs, and what setting works best for them.
