I toured nearly every San Francisco and Marin facility, and I have a spreadsheet to prove it. I was moving my parents to the Bay Area, and we needed assisted living for people with memory issues who do not meet the threshold for memory care. Also, both of my parents had been dramatically declining for a couple of months, so we needed to act fast to get them new doctors with weekly appointments and consistent caregiving. Aegis Corte Madera is the right place for them. An excellent UCSF doctor visits the community every Tues... read more

I have enjoyed living at Aegis of Corte Madera for approximately 6 years now. The staff who look after us for our day to day needs are wonderful and the Med technicians are exemplary with their attention to detail. We enjoy three square meals per day with a lot of different choices. If you're not extra hungry they'll make you a tasty sandwich instead! We have a terrific Activity Department who keep us focused with card games to making jewelry to exercise. There are plenty of different types of musical bands that come & play... read more

I moved my husband into Aegis Corte Madera 14 months ago. He has received not only excellent care, but I have been given the support that I needed to help guide us both on this journey. They love when I bring our pets to visit and it really feels like a family atmosphere. The communication is good and getting better all the time with the new General Manager. What I feel is most important, is that the most of the staff has been there for over five years. That really says something about the company. The activities are real... read more

We relocated our father from his home in S. CA last year to be near his three children in Marin. We looked at several assisted living facilities and chose Aegis for a number a reason (location, size, family owned, length of employee tenure, etc..) It exceeded our expectations. He was treated like family with a very high level of care and professionalism. We had 11 months with him at Aegis before he passed in March of this year. Being close to him, both physically and emotionally, during that time is a great comfort to ... read more

My mom has been at Aegis Corte Madera since 2009 (post-stroke). Were a large San Francisco family (with two adult children in Marin), so it was not only convenient, but more importantly, the community just felt right to all of us. The residents are warm, there are just enough of them (over 100) to pick and choose friends that share common interests -- whether it be movies, religious services, walking club, bingo, poker, art classes, lectures, jewelry making, and the many cultural and off-site excursions (there's a bus) that ... read more

My mom lived at Aegis for 3.5 years. I quickly learned what a difficult job these leaders and caregivers have in the interest of the elderly. I compared notes with friends with parents at other facilities and we all agree there are challenges. It's the nature of elder care. The difference is that the leadership at Aegis consistently responded quickly, they worked closely with me to create the optimal care plan, the Care team was always open to working together, and they all genuinely cared and loved my mother. The fairly ... read more

I moved my father here due to Alzheimer's. I thought I was getting an ulcer from the worry of moving him out of his home of 45 years. With the help of the initial game plan :"operation move dad out" ( the fantastic new GM John Carpentier) the day came and I got him there. Next step the warm welcome and great care he is receiving, my father transitioned far better than I could have imagined. With in a day every staff member calls my dad by his fist name. They all encourage him to get involved with the community and my fath... read more

Aegis is really the best Marin County has to offer in assisted living. While all of the assisted living industry is plagued with relative management turnover, Aegis by far has the most consistent and highest quality caregivers who have worked there literally for years. So different from facilities staffed by union caregivers, the caregivers at Aegis truly are involved in the quality of life for the residents. Not because they are required to do so but because that is the kind of personality hired by Aegis. When choosing an... read more

My parents moved into Aegis of Corte Madera 2 1/2 years ago and have been extremely pleased with their life there. From my perspective, since the arrival of the new director, Aegis has transitioned from being acceptable or good to now being truly extraordinary. Sadly, my mother recently passed away, and under the directorship of the new manager my father has been treated with remarkable warmth, caring, and consideration. Because of them, this very difficult time has been made that much more tolerable. In my father's words t... read more
