My mother was cared for here at Aegis for the last couple years of her life in the memory care section as she suffered from Alzheimer's. She passed away in 2006. It's taken me way too long to get around to thanking them for taking care of my mother. Thank you, Aegis! I found their facility to be well laid out and furnished, beautiful, cozy and clean. The staff was great and super helpful. I'm so glad that we got to have my mother live with them at the end, as they made an extremely difficult situation for our family bearable.

A move to Aegis Living in Aptos came at the perfect time for our mom. She received such kind, attentive and professional care there and our family will always be grateful. The staff and administrators were very sensitive to mom's needs and to ours as well. Thank you!

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. It feels more like a fine hotel than a residence for seniors when one walks in! The quality of activities make for a stimulating daily life for the residents who wish to participate. We are so grateful there was an opening for our Mom when we needed it and continue to be impressed by how well it’s run and all it offers.

Aegis was exactly what our family needed to care for my father-in-law. He was treated with respect, kindness, and dignity. The managers helped facilitate the right medical and emotional support for him. We are very grateful for the fabulous team at Aegis.

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. The Aegis staff are dedicated, communicative, professional, and caring. I have been impressed all around and most important my friend loves her new home.
