What this means for your family

This facility is highly regarded for its compassionate staff and excellent memory care environment. However, you should specifically inquire about their protocols for monitoring outdoor walking areas and their emergency response speed, as a neighbor reported concerns regarding falls and delayed assistance.

Key Review Excerpts

The staff at Aegis of Aptos has consistently proven to genuinely care for the wellbeing of our Mom. They are welcoming, responsive and attentive to her evolving needs. The place itself is beautiful and well maintained.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

A friend of mine moved into the Aegis Aptos memory care unit a couple of months ago and it has been a lifesaver. She was really struggling at home and the move to Aegis has brought her a new quality of life and peace of mind to her loved ones.

Memory care family member · 2021★★★★★

My wife has been at Aegis of Aptos since February 2016. The entire staff and management are terrific and care very much for the tenants especially the residents like my wife who have Alzheimer's.
