Aegis Living Lake Union provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain in the same community even as their needs change. Care teams have protocols in place for residents who wander during the day or night, show elopement behaviors, stay awake overnight, require oxygen, follow special diets, or manage diabetes by oral medication or insulin injections. The community also accepts residents with advanced dementia conditions, adjusting interventions as cognition declines.
An RN or LPN is on staff and a nurse is on call around the clock. Background-checked caregivers work awake night shifts, and the building maintains 24-hour security with door alarms, wander-guard technology, fenced outdoor areas, and in-room pull cords. A therapy room allows on-site rehabilitation visits. Direct care can include full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the team is trained for a range of transfers, from walker support to two-person lifts. An activity director oversees structured engagement tailored to each resident’s capabilities.
Apartments are designed for varying budgets and needs. Some residences feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent climate controls, in-unit washers and dryers, and cable service; others rely on scheduled housekeeping and community laundry rooms. Residents may paint or decorate their rooms to suit personal tastes, although not every unit offers the full list of features. Independent Living tenants can opt for weekly housekeeping and laundry services handled by staff, allowing them to focus on social and wellness programs instead of routine chores.
Dining services cover routine meals and special orders. The kitchen offers set menus, an on-demand option, snacks throughout the day, and in-room tray service when needed. A private dining room is available for family events. Dietary management includes gluten-free options, vegetarian plates, mechanical-chopped or puréed textures, and thickened liquids. Residents on a special medical diet coordinate with staff dietitians to keep meals consistent with physician instructions. Independent Living residents can buy into a monthly meal plan that provides flexibility between cooking in their own kitchenette and enjoying meals in the community restaurant.
Amenities and common services include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible pathways, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie theater, wellness center, high-speed internet, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge desk, library, and a variety of special-interest clubs. The location is close to public transportation, and scheduled shuttles are available for medical appointments.
