About Aegis Living Kirkland Waterfront

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.

The whole team at Aegis Kirkland Waterfront went above and beyond to accommodate my family with moving our parents in. We had a very difficult situation with my mom's health and they were quick to respond, offer solutions to make the move possible in a short amount of time. The knowledge, medical skill level and compassion of this team is unmatched to anything we had experienced before. We are truly grateful!

My parents reached the stage of life where keeping up with a house had simply become too much. We were determined to find a place that felt like home—not a hospital or somewhere they would just sit around. Then we found Edmonds Village, which we now lovingly call “The Resort.”<br><br>The community is vibrant, welcoming, and full of life. There is always something fun going on, from happy hours to whale-watching trips and social events. The staff is genuinely friendly, energetic, and always smiling. Their positive attitude makes such a difference and creates an environment where residents truly enjoy living.<br><br>One thing that meant so much to our family was that they provided us with a guest room so we could stay on-site while visiting our parents. That level of thoughtfulness and hospitality is rare.<br><br>Moving parents into independent living can be a difficult and emotional transition, but Edmonds Village has made it an incredibly positive experience. We are so grateful for the wonderful care, activities, and sense of community they provide. I highly recommend Edmonds Village to anyone looking for a place where their loved ones can truly thrive. ❤️

Some of the most heartless and lazy staff I've ever had the displeasure of seeing.

My mother was a resident at Aegis Kirkland Waterfront for the past two years and this became a true “home” for her. Our experience of her home, rather than her facility or simply a residence, emerged directly through the staff's tender loving care and notable respect for her. I wish I could name every single person, but the list would exceed this space. Our family began to blend more coherently with staff and services under the astute leadership of Ashley Besmehn and we are deeply appreciative. Further, Lisa Brenner’s superior nursing care and keen understanding of hospitals, rehab facilities and general healthcare, promoted my mother’s longevity and significantly enhanced her quality of life to the very end.<br><br>We are eternally grateful to each and every Aegis staff member for their every kindness and support.

I came in to visit the other day. Donna Lack was very kind and greeted me with such grace. She's made me laugh and was very happy

Washington asks us to share this statement and gather a short intake first

Read the statement, add what you can below (a few words each, all optional), and Send signs it with the name you entered.

Washington disclosure statement, dated October 28, 2026, under the Elder and Vulnerable Adult Referral Agency Act (RCW 18.330).

(a) Agency: MyLivingChoice LLC (MyLivingChoice.com), 8705 N. Cypress Ct, Kansas City, MO 64156, (816) 226-7772.

(b) Client: the person sending this request.

(c) Fees: you pay us nothing. If you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee computed as a percentage of your first month's rent and care charges, invoiced to the community after you move in. If you ask, we will tell you the amount of the fee for any community we refer you to.

(d) Services: MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps families find senior living. We gather a short intake about the care needed, suggest communities that appear able to meet those needs, and introduce you to the ones you choose. For you specifically, we will introduce you to Aegis Living Kirkland Waterfront and share with it your name, contact details and the care needs you described, nothing more.

(e) We will never ask you to waive any claim for loss of personal property or injury, or any right you have under state or federal law.

(f) We work with both you and the community in the same transaction: the community pays us, and we are introducing you to it. To obtain or share confidential health care information about the person who needs care we need your authorization, which you give for the communities named above by acknowledging this statement.

(g) Tours: we do not tour communities as a matter of course. Our information comes from the community itself, its state licence record and public sources. We have not toured Aegis Living Kirkland Waterfront.

(h) You may stop using our service, or switch to another referral agency, at any time and for any reason, with no penalty and no cancellation fee.

(i) Refunds: because you pay us nothing, there is nothing to refund to you. If a community pays us a fee for your placement and the resident dies, is hospitalized or moves to another setting for more appropriate care within the first thirty days after admission, we refund the community a prorated share of the fee for the days not used, as RCW 18.330.090 requires.
