Amenities Oversold
My responses are mostly related to the Memory Care (MC) unit. My sister is always well groomed and dressed in clean clothes. I appreciate being able to get her mani-pedis and hair cuts at the facility. That being said, the amenities at Aegis Ballard were oversold. The beauty shop is rarely open and you must schedule appointments well in advance. Similarly, the facility bar was promoted as having excellent prices for beer, wine and well drinks - making it an excellent place to socialize with friends and family. In reality, the bar is NEVER open. Not once in the year my sister has lived there. You can sit there and watch a large screen TV, but there is no service and there are no drinks, alcoholic or otherwise. Family members will go to the corner market and buy wine to drink in the bar. The food in the main dining room is excellent. It is far better than on memory care that I view as being second class citizens when it comes to meals. No choice of meals or beverages, and no condiments. I take my sister to the dining room for meals several times a week. Overall, the facility is extremely clean. However, I have had problems getting the carpet in my sister's room cleaned or replaced. An ongoing problem. Frustrating. This has to do with upper management for the facility and is not related to the care staff. The care staff are all lovely. This includes the Director of Care Services, [name removed], who is always responsive. Sadly, like most LTC facilities, the turnover is high. The training/hand off to new staff could be better. For example, my sister does not see well out of her left eye - but this information is rarely passed on to new hires. I wish all staff took the initiative to frequently eyeball and assess the MC residents to see if they look comfortable, if their eye-glasses need cleaning, if they need their noses wiped, etc. Sigh. I am pleased with the weekly in-house activities designed for memory care residents. I wish they took the MC residents on more outings. (actually, there aren't many outings for independent or assisted-living folks either). I was told that Aegis Ballard was going to purchase its own Transport Van for resident outings. It's been a year, and still no T Van. It is the convenient location (only a mile walk from my home) that keeps me from aggressively comparing Aegis Ballard to other Memory Care facilities.

Friendly, attentive staff
When it comes to the activities, they neeed excursions from the facility like to plays, museums, etc. The food was pretty good as well, considering they have to cater to a wide variety of tastes. It is one of the smaller Aegises and they really get to know the residents well, even the ones who are only there for respite, which was really great. My mom isn't ready to permanently move to assisted living, but she really liked that aspect of it there. Everyone was very kind and welcoming. I appreciated that they keep close eye on the comings and goings of residents and called me when my Mom declared she was going to go on a walk on her own and they felt that was unsafe. We liked the way they do their menu - with an available every day side and a daily specials side. My Mom enjoyed all of the classes/activities - especially the daily exercise class, nightly movies, flower arranging, and the special theme dats/celebrations (she was there for St. Paddy's Day and Hawaiian Luau).

Amazing Memory Care
My sister is the 3rd resident in the newly opened Memory Care in Aegis Living Ballard. The facility is beautiful, the staff are amazing, and the food is delicious. If your loved one needs Memory Care services, I highly recommend Ballard Aegis. ??

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Washington’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Washington’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

A Place for Mom has scored Aegis Living Ballard 8.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
