Assisted Living, Memory Care

"People there are knowledgable and focused on providing the best care for seniors. Our tour guide anticipated many of our questions and gave us a great picture of the possibilities at Aegis Living Dana Point. Of all the places we've visited, this one creates the most "home" feel for each resident. If you desire a modern, sterile, hospital vibe, don't look here! Tucked right in the neighborhood, and yet right off the freeway, and steps away from the bluffs overlooking Capo Beach, we were very impressed.

Nothing but positives from our visit!" - Greg…
