The 20 Best Memory Care in King County, Washington

"Aegis Bellevue was, without a doubt, the right choice for our family. We looked at so many different communities, and although there were lots of good options, at the end it just came down to how we felt when we were there. The staff is just beyond, the facility is close enough to where my siblings and I live, and programing provided has been outstanding. Our parents have had nothing but positive experiences since moving in and they just seem so much happier. We are grateful for the grace, compassion, patience, honesty, and welcoming attitude of everyone at Aegis Living Bellevue." - Rita… Read more

"I recently had the opportunity to experience Aegis Living Issaquah first-hand when my mother-in-law was placed there for a month of respite care. I was very impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere, beautiful grounds, and friendly staff that took the time to get to know the residents. The executives were also incredibly helpful and understanding as we navigated our loved one's dementia diagnosis. Although we ultimately moved her closer to us due to cost and distance, I would not hesitate to have her back at Aegis again." - Tracy… Read more

"I recently had to find an Assisted Living Community for my 84 year old Dad on short notice and I'm so glad I chose Aegis Living Marymoor. The community is warm and very friendly,with lots of smiles from the residents who are always out and about socializing. The staff are amazing, especially the manager who really cares deeply for his residents. There's a lot of activities to keep people young at heart and bring a smile each day.

"The facility sits on Holman Road, which is very busy. There is virtually no outside space for residents to congregate other than a roof terrace. Inside there is a spacious common space but it is in a basement. The costs per month quoted here are the base. Once the resident is anchored at Aegis, the corporation does its best to increase monthly fees. The contract gives Aegis the power to increase the monthly fees by its decision that the resident needs more services. My relative who lives there has had her monthly fee increase by 70% over the last 3 years. It comes very close if not over the line of financially taking advantage of vulnerable adults. It's not fun for their families either, who see this practice going on." - Neil… Read more

"Please do not turn to Brookdale Foundation House for help with your loved ones. They are in the business of making money. Period. When we first inquired here, they seemed so nice and accommodating, that is UNTIL they found out we were on a budget and asked about Medicaid programs. Where at first they were willing to negotiate on rent, second-person fees, community fee, etc., the minute they found out we were not wealthy, they changed completely. The answer to every question we asked was "no," "no," "no," and they weren't so nice about it. They wanted to charge my parents nearly $7000/month in rent for a barely 600 square-foot one-bedroom apartment, a $4500 (non-refundable) community fee, and nearly $6000/month in care costs for just ONE of my parents.If you have done any research on assisted living, you will know that this exploitative and outrageous! I believe they did this to us because they knew we were in a time-crunch to find help and only wanted our money." - Cynthia… Read more

"Fantastic medical and care staff on floors in living area. Very thoughtful, kind and personal care. 5 heart rating The dining facility is terrible. Really bad service. 1 heart or zero rating. Reason: Visiting families have to use a separate room. The staff forgets over 50% of the time that they need to take orders and only realize when it's near closing time that someone is in the room and all of the popular food items are gone. The food itself is fine, but the service is bad except for just a few outstandingly good, dedicated employees. The General Manager should be replaced. The dining service needs a complete overhaul to focus on prompt, polite & courteous customer service. Activities: 2 heart rating The morning & afternoon exercises are a bit too easy. Other activities are boring and could be eliminated. Average: 2 hearts" - Mei… Read more
