The care provided at Aegis Living Kent spans several levels to accommodate a wide range of needs. Light Assisted Living is available for those who still maintain a level of independence but require some assistance to ensure their safety and well-being. For residents needing more support, traditional Assisted Living services include personal care and healthcare support tailored to help with the activities of daily living. Transitional Care is thoughtfully designed for individuals experiencing mild to moderate memory loss, featuring progressive assistance within the assisted living setting to support changing needs as gently as possible.
For residents with more advanced memory loss, the Memory Care program centers around a dedicated area known as Life’s Neighborhood. Here, care is delivered in an environment structured for the safety, comfort, and individualized attention necessary for those in later stages of dementia. Secure, thoughtfully adapted spaces reduce wandering behaviors and embrace the needs of those with memory impairments, ensuring both peace of mind and dignity. For moments requiring extra compassion, the End-of-Life Care program is in place to provide quality, dignified care and comfort during life’s final stages. Short-term options such as Respite Care are also available, ranging from light assistance to post-surgery support and memory care, offering flexibility for families with temporary needs.
