Aegis Living Lake Union

Moving a parent into assisted living is one of the hardest decisions a family has to make. We are still early in that journey with our mum, and the team at Aegis Lake Union has made an incredibly difficult transition feel supported and kindhearted. What has stood out most is the genuine thoughtfulness that runs through the entire community. The environment is calm and peaceful, and there is attention to detail in how the space and daily routines support residents living with memory loss while preserving their dignity and independence as much as possible. Our mum is still in the stage where she believes her stay is temporary and is trying to understand “the plan" and "when she will be going home," which has been complicated and stressful for our family. The staff understands that helping someone settle into a new environment with memory loss is a process, and we feel like we are working together with them to support her at a pace that respects where she is cognitively and emotionally. All of these moments have been met with such kindness. We truly appreciate it. From the GM and marketing director to the nursing staff, care team, CNAs, activities staff, and the culinary team, every person we’ve encountered has genuinely welcomed our mum and our family to the community. We are deeply thankful to have found a place where our mum is being cared for with such compassion and respect.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Aegis South Lake Union. My family member had a fall that resulted in multiple breaks. Aegis was perfect for her respite care. The staff was so accommodating and so, so kind. The food was great, the facility is exceptional and well maintained. Not to mention there are spectacular views of seattle! We were welcomed with open arms from the moment we arrived. I would highly recommend Aegis regardless of the situation - from short term respite care to long term living.
