What this means for your family

Aegis Shoreline is highly regarded for its warm, professional staff and excellent communication with families. However, given the reports of delayed emergency responses, we strongly recommend asking management about their specific overnight staffing ratios and the protocols for responding to emergency call buttons.

Aegis Living Shoreline is widely praised for its compassionate, attentive staff and well-maintained, hotel-like facility. While many families report high satisfaction with the care and communication, there are serious concerns regarding emergency response times and inconsistent food quality. Prospective families should weigh the strong community environment against reports of potential lapses in overnight care.
