Aegis of Issaquah delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to day-to-day support while also accommodating advanced dementia conditions. The community accepts individuals who wander in the morning or evening, have a history of elopement, exhibit combative or other challenging behaviors, remain awake through the night, require wound care or oxygen, follow special diets, are under 60 years of age, or manage diabetes with oral medications, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen.
To maintain consistent care, the building is staffed by registered and licensed nurses, an awake night shift, and an on-site activity director, all backed by 24-hour security. Residents benefit from a full roster of on-site services that include podiatry, dental visits, occupational and physical therapy, hospice care, and comprehensive medication management. Pull cords and personal emergency response systems alert staff quickly, while a fenced rear area helps safeguard residents who may wander. Assistance is available for every activity of daily living—bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting—and the team can perform transfers ranging from standby help to two-person or Hoyer lift support for bed-bound residents.
Private rooms with their own bathrooms are offered, but not every accommodation includes every feature, so it is important to confirm specifics during a tour. Rooms are designed to support both ambulatory residents and those who use walkers or wheelchairs, with layouts intended to reduce confusion for memory-care residents.
Meals follow a set menu with attention to physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium or diabetic options. Between meals, snacks are always available to help maintain stable blood sugar levels and encourage adequate nutrition.
Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, communal gardens, scheduled transportation for medical appointments and errands, and the option to bring a pet. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
