Key Review Excerpts
“The caregivers are the best at Aegis Gardens Newcastle! They cared for our parents in their remaining years. Although our mother was living there for less than a year and our father lived there for 2 1/2 years, the caregivers always tried to ensure our parents were comfortable and ensured a peaceful passing during hospice care.”
“Had a really bad experience with Aegis Newcastle, specifically with the care received. Aegis is on a points system where you pay based on care needs (example: showers, toileting, etc.). Unfortunately, even though we paid for care, it wasn't actually provided.”
“Beautiful serene facility where many of the staff are asian and understand the unique cultural needs of the asian residents. Always having asian food options is very important to my parents, attentive staff, top notch security, wonderful movie theater and gym, and life enrichment activities are all bonuses.”
