Aegis Lodge sits tucked among woods and wetlands with a cozy, Northwest style that feels a bit like a treehouse, full of big windows and quiet views of the trees, and there's a big stone fireplace and a sun-filled dining room where you can see the outdoors. Folks here find a good mix of care options, with choices like Light Assisted Living, Assisted Living, Transitional Care, Memory Care, End-of-Life Care, and Respite Care and Day Stays, all under one roof, and they offer options for couples who need different types of help, which some folks sure appreciate. The community offers studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and companion apartments, and the building itself features a large front porch, an open lobby, and gathering spaces with fireplaces, as well as a bright dining room with wide views, and there's a pretty big courtyard, a garden, and shaded walking paths outside, which the residents use for activities or quiet time. People who move in can bring pets, and everything's made easy for wheelchairs and walkers, from the outdoor garden spaces to the showers. Caregivers and nurses are around all the time, day and night, and they handle help with bathing, dressing, daily medications, and anything else someone might need as they age, and you'll find physical and occupational therapy offered right on site.
Their Life's Neighborhood program handles Memory Care and is meant to guide folks with Alzheimer's and dementia, with spaces and activities to reduce confusion and help keep people safe from wandering, and there are special programs, like Red Light Restore, Montessori activities, light therapy, brain games, and even sensory-based schedules. The staff get extra training for all these types of care, and they offer personalized plans so everyone gets what fits them best. When it comes to food, there are nutritious meals made from quality ingredients, along with restaurant-style dining, a bistro, private rooms for family, and all sorts of choices for different diets, whether someone needs vegetarian, gluten-free, low sodium, or low sugar. Residents living on their own, or with lighter needs, don't have to worry about maintenance or chores because the staff takes care of weekly housekeeping, laundry, and grocery runs, and folks say the concierge service helps with lots of little things.
You'll find a movie room, a library, a fireside lounge, exercise spaces, computer rooms, activity lofts, and places for crafts or music, like a piano and organ, and then there's also a salon, bistro, and the main street common area where people gather for events or a cup of coffee. There's always something happening, whether it's a movie, an educational talk, a devotional service, or outings offsite. The community supports spiritual life too, with Catholic and other religious services, and the environment is fully accessible, including raised garden beds and enclosed courtyards for relaxing walks.
The facility has 96 licensed beds with care supported by Aegis Senior Communities, LLC, and the staff helps coordinate transitions as someone's needs change. People who want to continue living here through life's changes will find services that support aging in place, including hospice availability when the time comes. Some features unique to the place include Family Link for staying in touch, scheduled transportation services (or rides at cost), and amenities like high-speed Wi-Fi for residents and visitors. The whole setup has an easy, homey atmosphere, so residents often feel comfortable visiting with family and friends, and the staff tries to keep things warm and welcoming from the first day onward.
