I had an overall positive experience with this small, family-run community - very clean, organized, nicely appointed rooms and gardens, good dining and lots of engaging activities, and staff who are warm, attentive, and know residents by name. Management was responsive during my tour and the facility feels safe and homey. However, it's pricey with some billing inconsistencies and rent increases, and I saw uneven staffing in memory care - inexperienced med techs, supervision lapses, delayed notifications and a couple of serious incidents - so I would not trust it for advanced dementia. For assisted living and social engagement I'd recommend it; for higher-level memory needs I'd look elsewhere.
Aegis Living Pleasant Hill sits at 1660 Oak Park Boulevard and provides a place for seniors who need help with daily life, memory care, or just want an independent living option, and the building itself feels both comfortable and easy to move around, with wide, bright hallways, a peaceful courtyard and a fountain, and plenty of outdoor spaces like patios and gardens with benches where people can enjoy fresh air and flowers. This community has several apartment styles including studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and companion living, and most have kitchenettes and all come with emergency call systems to help people feel safe. There's also Wi-Fi and high-speed internet for those who want it, and the entire place is handicap accessible, so getting around is usually straightforward for most folks.
People living here can get help with things like bathing, dressing, and medication, managed by trained staff called Medication Care Managers, and they offer round-the-clock care depending on what someone needs, whether that means a light hand or more hands-on support. There's a focus on memory care, with staff and programs designed for people with dementia, and the community takes steps to provide a safe area with reduced confusion and help to prevent wandering. They also offer respite stays and even end-of-life care, so families with different needs can find support. Pet lovers don't have to say goodbye to their furry friends, since the place welcomes pets and provides some pet services, which is nice for many.
The food is served all day in a formal dining room, with a private dining room available if families or friends come to visit, and if someone doesn't feel like going out, room service is an option, too. There's a full-time Social Director who puts together weekly and monthly social events, art classes, and games, and activity choices like Pilates, yoga, and a walking club are regular features for those who want to keep moving. Music plays a part here, with live piano in the Grand Room from time to time, plus a cozy library space for reading or playing chess and cards. When it's time to take care of chores, staff help with housekeeping, laundry, linen service, and home maintenance, so those basic needs are met, giving people more room for recreation or just quiet time.
Transportation services are available for appointments or getting out for a bit, letting people stay connected with their community beyond the residence itself, and families can visit often to maintain those important connections. The building's gathering spaces, bistros, art rooms, salons, and lobbies make it easier to join in and get to know neighbors, or just find a quiet spot to sit. The facility is licensed, has a verified status, and maintains an atmosphere many have described as warm and welcoming, with a small number of online reviews giving it an average rating of 4.3 out of 13. Even though there isn't a lot of extra information out there about Aegis Living Pleasant Hill compared to some other places, the focus seems steady on providing a broad range of services that include assisted living, memory care, respite options, skilled care, and options for seniors at every stage of their journey.
