Aegis Living Queen Anne Galer sits at the top of the Queen Anne neighborhood on a quiet hill, with big open common spaces, a calming memory garden, and a view just off Kerry Park, where the outdoor walking club goes twice a day so residents can get fresh air and see the old homes nearby, and the entire building has a Victorian style with Gilded Age details and four floors full of natural light shining into places like the library, bistro, and even a special train-car seating area where people like to sit and watch the world outside. The community offers several types of care, including Light Assisted Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Respite Care, Transitional Care, and End-of-Life Care, all under one roof, so people can stay in the same place no matter how their needs change, and there are studio apartments to choose from.
The staff always stays on-site and keeps an eye on residents day and night, providing medication help or daily activity support as needed, with special programs for those with Alzheimer's or other dementia, including a secure memory care courtyard, safety features, and activities that keep the mind busy like reminiscing, music therapy, and trivia. The leadership team includes Dr. Raj Dasgupta, and the Acting General Manager is also the Vice President of Operations, so there's management experience behind the scenes, and services are managed by Aegis Senior Communities, LLC. The community has 68 licensed beds and a friendly, well-trained team, including staff who understand the needs of Asian community residents and people living with Parkinson's, offering meals and activities tied to their backgrounds. The facility also provides Signature Services like Dining, Activities, In-House Therapy, Quick Response AI for emergencies, Parkinson's Care, Red Light Restore, Family Link, and helps families stay connected.
There's plenty to do daily, with a Life Enrichment team leading fitness classes, music groups, trivia games, card tables, and a sports den for poker or watching Seattle teams play, along with a theater for movies and live music almost every day, especially during the Friday happy hours when local musicians come in, and the downstairs boardwalk area always has something going on, whether it's exercise, wellness programs, or just visiting with neighbors. The dining room feels like an upscale restaurant, with many choices and big windows to let sunlight in, and the replica Pike Place Market space is good for walking and browsing, making everyone feel at home. Every room, hallway, and social area has air conditioning and is easy to get around, with lots of seating and places to relax, read, or chat.
Amenities include personal grooming with a salon and barbershop for haircuts and shaves, devotional services both on- and offsite, indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, and the facility keeps everything comfortable and welcoming, like a boutique European hotel that still feels like someone's own home. Staff pay close attention to each person's needs and comforts, tailor care to physical and cognitive abilities, and try to create a place where residents can share moments with loved ones and enjoy their day with dignity, safety, and enough choices to keep life interesting.
