Aegis Living Kirkland Waterfront is an assisted living and memory care community in Kirkland, Washington, overlooking Lake Washington in the heart of downtown. The community is designed around an Amalfi Coast theme, featuring Mediterranean architecture, landscaped gardens, an outdoor grotto with a mosaic fountain, and warm earth-tone stucco blended with Italian hues, all while maintaining views of the water and surrounding mountains.
The community offers a continuum of care including assisted living, transitional care for early memory loss, and secured memory care in the Life's Neighborhood setting. Care services include 24-hour nursing, physical, occupational, speech, and psychiatric therapies available onsite, medication management, mobility assistance, and geriatric psychiatry. A dementia-trained care team supports residents around the clock, with visiting physicians available to reduce offsite medical trips.
More than 200 monthly programs and activities reflect both the Italian theme and local Kirkland culture, including art classes, culinary workshops with pasta- and pizza-making, TED-style talks, music therapy concerts, language lessons, lakeside walks, and excursions to galleries, farmers markets, and beaches. Dining emphasizes chef-prepared meals throughout the day, featuring Italian classics and Northwest favorites, with flexible all-day options, wood-fired pizzas, house-made pastas, wine tastings, and waterfront al fresco dining. Memory care residents receive science-based cognitive programming and certified music therapy alongside specialized, calm dining environments.
The community is located next to the Woodmark Hotel & Spa and L'Experience Paris Bakery & Café, within walking distance to Kirkland's restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and waterfront market. Nearby medical centers include Overlake and Evergreen, and the community is minutes to Bellevue and the Eastside via scenic lakeshore drives. The community offers concierge service and scheduled town car transportation for outings and appointments.
Additional amenities include a dedicated fitness studio, exercise classes, lakeshore walks, and wellness programming described as whole-person care nurturing mind, body, and spirit. The community is pet-friendly and welcomes residents' furry family members. Safety features include motion sensors, medical-alert pendants with fall detection, and discreet technology like the AUGi smart device for fall detection. Respite stays and short-term options are available, allowing residents to trial the community or providing caregivers with temporary support.
