Aegis Living San Rafael, opening in early 2025, is set to become a standout addition to the community’s options for senior living. Designed with California Mission Revival architecture, this luxury residence pays homage to the rich history of Mission San Rafael, blending elegance, warmth, and modern comforts. The new community features arched windows and entrances that foster a strong connection to the outdoors, with terraces offering residents sweeping vistas of both the surrounding mountains and the city. The exterior is highlighted by a striking blue-tiled buttressed bell tower, and the fifth-floor Vista Terrace provides a special space for socializing while enjoying panoramic views of Mt. Tamalpais. Serene garden spaces are thoughtfully integrated throughout the property, creating peaceful retreats for relaxation and reflection.
Within its walls, Aegis Living San Rafael offers a variety of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences. Each home is designed to be light and airy, providing residents with private bathrooms, ample storage, and generous living spaces. Spanish-style furnishings and locally sourced art add to the community’s refined yet approachable ambiance, while inviting alcoves and a spectacular fireplace adorned with painted ceramic tiles make communal spaces both comfortable and visually captivating.
The community is especially well-equipped to meet a spectrum of care needs through its comprehensive range of services. Aegis Living San Rafael’s suite of options includes Light Assisted Living, Assisted Living, Transitional Care, Memory Care—offered in a dedicated section known as Life’s Neighborhood—End-of-Life Care, and Respite Care. For couples with differing care needs, customized solutions are available to support both independence and specialized assistance as needed. Residents benefit from the presence of 24/7 certified care managers and onsite nurses, with daily access to an onsite physical therapy center and a dedicated team for mobility support.
Dining at Aegis Living San Rafael is a central part of the experience. Chef-prepared meals, designed by a registered dietitian, are made available all day at a variety of venues including an elegant indoor dining room, an outdoor dining terrace, a mercado, a private dining room, a bistro, and a juice bar. Menus are crafted to satisfy a broad range of tastes, with a focus on both nutrition and culinary delight, accommodating the unique needs and preferences of each resident.
A rich array of activities and social programs ensures there is never a dull moment, with Life Enrichment Directors encouraging participation in over 200 monthly enrichment options.
