After it became clear that my mom needed more care than we could provide at home we shopped around before deciding that Aegis was the best choice for us. The decision was based around the physical attributes of the facility itself, the resident to caregiver ratio, and the management and nursing staff, as well as being well equipped for memory care as it becomes needed. Mom lived in the Assisted Living section for more than a year and still felt that she had her independence even though she was not to go out the front door ... read more

We feel very lucky we have found such a wonderful place with truly special people for my mother to call home. I have never witness anyone being harsh or abrupt with their care giving. In fact, it has been quiet the opposite. This is why my brother and myself so wanted Mom to have her home here. We were truly impressed 4 1/2 years ago and are still extremely happy in how clean and beautiful they keep the surroundings and how wonderful all the staff are. I can not speak more highly of a place. She has her own lovely apartment... read more

My in-laws moved to Aegis of Aptos 3 yrs ago. Since then, my father-in-law has passed away. My mother-in-law still resides here and has private care, 24/7. I've spent considerable time here over these 3 years -- attending to the needs of my in-laws & have observed the routines of daily life in Assisted Living, as well as in Life's Neighborhood. Here are some of my thoughts & observations. The daily entertainment here is unprecedented in it's quality & variety. Kudos to Jennifer for her fine job of creating such a terrific l... read more

My mother has been a resident of Aegis of Aptos since April 2012. I moved her there from home, where she had 24 hour caregivers who treated her like a queen. She was on Hospice and given a few short weeks to live. The staff at Aegis rallied around my mother day and night, followed my instructions to meet her particular preferences and actually brought her back to the land of the living! They treat her as if she is a relative of theirs, all of the staff. She has come off Hospice and is up and about, going to the dining room, ... read more

I have been a resident of Santa Cruz County for almost 20 years now. For years now, I have had friends and acquaintances, go thru a hard time when having to make the tough the decision to place a wife, husband, brother, sister, mom, etc in an Assisted Living facility. Some times after a stroke has left them paralyzed, sometimes when they need minimal help, and others when they have been quickly deteriorating because of Alzheimer or dementia. It is such a sad time in people's lives when you have to see a loved one go thru so ... read more

This is the absolute best place for someone who is dealing with dementia or is unable to live alone. The caregivers, the new Director and even the receptionists are amazing! These people deserve the best reviews for treating old folks with absolute respect and dignity. I highly recommend them. Each time i visit my friend i find friendly faces and a good vibe. The place is really clean and fancy. This is the best choice for old folks.

My Mother has been there for 3 months now and is being well taken care of. She is a stroke victim and they put her in the Regular care area, where they can give her the physical support she needs and the mental stimulation that she wants. They can even wear her out some time. For a woman who was becoming more and more secluded in her home, this is a good thing. If you are a senior looking for a more supportive place to stay or a child looking for a place to put a parent, this is an excellent choice. But note - They are Not C... read more

I love Aegis for my grandmother, but recently my mom has overheard some really nasty remarks about having to celebrate Hanukkah and the decorations that have been put up from the general manager. She walked in Monday morning to visit my grandma and was was ecstatic to see that the very first thing she saw when she walked in was a table with a nice menorah on it and some garland to help celebrate Hanukkah. This made her happy because most places we go to this time of year have nothing but Christmas decorations, but it was nic... read more

I am currently living at Aegis. My daughter had to find a place for me after I spent an extended time in the hospital and Aegis presents as beautiful and quiet...Just what I needed after terrible stress of loud hospital environment. After just a week or so they suddenly moved me to another apartment, with no sensible explanation. This new apartment was next to a utility room where all electrical equipment is located and over several large commercial size garbage bins. These were emptied several times a week by the usua... read more
