Aegis at Callahan House in Shoreline, WA is dedicated exclusively to memory care. The community is prepared for residents who wander at any time of day, present elopement risks, exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, stay up all night, or require complex diabetes management by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Additional clinical capabilities include wound care, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and support for residents younger than 60. The staff is trained to manage advanced dementia conditions so residents can remain in place as needs progress.
Registered or licensed nurses are on staff, with a nurse on call around the clock. Caregivers work an awake night shift, and an activity director keeps daily programs running. Security measures include 24-hour staffing, a fenced rear area, alarmed doors, wander-guard technology, and in-room pull cords that alert staff. On-site podiatry is available, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Assistance can be provided for every activity of daily living—bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting—up to full dependence. Transfer help ranges from standby support and one- or two-person assists to Hoyer-lift transfers and bed-bound care.
Resident apartments offer straightforward comfort. Some units feature a private bathroom, independent temperature controls, and in-room cable, and residents may paint or decorate their spaces. Because layouts vary, not every apartment includes every feature, so confirming availability during a tour is recommended.
Meals are cooked to order, with snacks accessible throughout the day. The kitchen team handles physician-ordered dietary modifications and ongoing diet management, making adjustments for diabetes, texture needs, or other medical requirements without delay.
Residents have access to a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, and a wellness center. The entire property is wheelchair accessible, and scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments and errands.
