Key Review Excerpts

The real strength of this facility is the staff. Very warm and displaying genuine care for their residents. My uncle passed away last month at age 95. His final weeks were filled with staff members coming in to hold his hand and comfort him.

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

The Aegis team worked with us to shift her to the memory care team, and she is doing well under their care.

Memory care family member · 2024★★★★★

My mother moved there first for a short-term rehab stay, and then decided to stay full time. She has a growing community and feels supported by the administration and care staff.
