Aegis Living Issaquah sits on a quiet 10-acre campus in Issaquah, Washington, surrounded by beautiful gardens, water fountains, and well-kept walking paths, and features a set of quaint country cottages, so every cottage holds private apartments, cozy social spaces, and dining rooms, making folks feel right at home in a small community. The community is designed with every service on one level, meaning residents don't have to bother with stairs or elevators, and there's ample room to roam with peaceful courtyards and plenty of spots to enjoy nature. Each cottage is built for comfort and accessibility, and some are specifically meant for those living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with memory care offered through the Life's Neighborhood® program, where trained staff provide care and activities tailored to each person's needs.
There are seven cottages in total, and the campus supports a mix of care levels, including Light Assisted Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Transitional Care, Respite Care for short stays, and End-of-Life Care, with skilled staff like caregivers, medication technicians, therapists, and regular visits from physicians, and registered nurses oversee everything each day of the week. Staff are available around the clock, so help comes quickly if needed, and there's quick response AI technology for added safety and communication. The Family Link service also helps families stay up to date and connected with their loved one's care.
Residents get help with daily living activities like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, and meals are served all day, including in the cottage dining rooms, making things flexible. The dining is a signature part of life here, and staff prepare meals to fit different tastes and needs, so there's always something good to eat. Housekeeping and laundry services are included, which takes care of the chores, and the apartments all come with private bathrooms and plenty of storage for personal items.
The Life Enrichment team creates social programs that are a bit creative and different, with regular fitness classes, art workshops, music events, and group outings, trying new things for engagement and fun, while keeping routines comfortable for everyone involved. Red Light Restore therapy and in-house therapeutic services add to wellness support, and there's special care for Parkinson's too. Some seniors here live on their own in maintenance-free residences, while others need more daily care, but the management tries to make everyone feel connected, offering general counseling services and encouraging bonds between residents and staff through an intimate cottage setting.
Aegis Living Issaquah is operated by Aegis Senior Communities, LLC, and as part of the bigger Aegis Living community, they bring some unique services and structure-but focus most of all on giving residents a sense of belonging, safety, and choice, whether someone needs light help or more advanced memory or skilled nursing care, all in a safe, green, and home-like setting. The blend of the cottage atmosphere with the resources of assisted living means residents and their families find comfort and flexibility without giving up needed support, and the natural backdrop and cozy layout makes it easy to enjoy each day.
