My experience is good

I've been happy with friendliness and concern the staff and caregivers have shown. The food is also very good, which is important. Their room is spacious and clean. If I raise an issue it has been taken care of promptly.

Friendly, attentive staff

When it comes to the activities, they neeed excursions from the facility like to plays, museums, etc. The food was pretty good as well, considering they have to cater to a wide variety of tastes.

My mom isn't ready to permanently move to assisted living, but she really liked that aspect of it there. Everyone was very kind and welcoming. I appreciated that they keep

Amazing Memory Care

My sister is the 3rd resident in the newly opened Memory Care in Aegis Living Ballard. The facility is beautiful, the staff are amazing, and the food is delicious. If your loved one needs Memory Care services, I highly recommend Ballard Aegis. ??
