Overview of Aegis Living Ballard

Aegis Living Ballard provides assisted living, hospice care, memory care, and respite care in Seattle, WA. Assisted living gives residents help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while they maintain their own living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while hospice care offers comfort-focused support at the end of life.

Respite care provides a short stay for a resident while a usual caregiver travels or recovers. Having multiple care services in one community may suit a resident whose needs change over time or a family caregiver who needs temporary support. Aegis Living Ballard has 67 beds.

The starting price is $4,560, giving families a baseline figure for budgeting. A Walk Score of 98 out of 100 places the area in the walker’s paradise band, so daily errands do not require a car and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Pets are allowed, so residents may live with their pets.

On-site therapy and rehabilitation services allow a resident to receive therapy without arranging travel to an outside site. A community garden and walking areas provide outdoor spaces, while chef-prepared dining with fresh, seasonal ingredients and flexible dining hours gives residents flexibility around meals. Nordic baking demos, walking groups, and music therapy offer ways to participate in baking, walking, and music-based activities.
