My parents moved into Aegis Carmichael In late March after a very trying experience with hospitals and rehabilitation centers. I could no longer take care of them at home, and there was no way that we could afford 24 hour in-home care and continue paying all their bills. From the moment I spoke with Lisa, I finally felt like there was someone who understood the amount of stress that I was under and was sincerely there to help. Lisa, Mauricio, and the whole staff at Aegis are wonderful. From the restaurant crew, to the cleaning crew, to the caretakers, to management… all have shown nothing but compassion and support. One of the biggest things I worried about was making sure that, In their golden years, they had a good quality of life and were happy. The last year, taking care of them, that became very difficult for me because their needs were so many. It took me a minute to adjust to someone else coming in and taking over, and I can say that, given what I’ve seen over the last four months, I’m comfortable with the care of my parents, and I know that they are thriving… Possibly even better than when I was caring for them. The whole team at Aegis Carmichael comes together to do their best by our parents. They are organized, everything is clean and well-maintained…Pricing isn’t too much more or less expensive than other places, given their needs, especially considering all of the services and attention that my parents get. I’m most surprised by how my parents have bonded with Lisa and the staff. I was so worried that they would be someplace where they would feel alone or scared, and it’s the opposite. I’m thankful that they were there to help us in a very difficult situation. I know that our challenges aren’t over, but it really helps having knowledgeable professionals to help us navigate these challenging times.
