Key Review Excerpts
“The staff at Aegis has been wonderful and very helpful through the transition our mother has gone through between the loss of our father, her home and friends to dealing with the progressive nature of Alzheimer with Dementia.”
“The Chef works with her diet restrictions and prepares delicious meals. We are greeted warmly when we visit and feel like part of a big family now.”
“The residents can eat on their own schedule. For my mom, that freedom will make a big difference in her choice to move because she feels respected and in control.”
