Aegis Living Ballard is a senior living community in Seattle, Washington, that provides a comprehensive continuum of care within a single urban campus, encompassing assisted living, memory care, transitional care, respite, and hospice services. With a 67-bed capacity, the community has an occupancy rate of approximately 72%, which is consistent with the Washington state average. Operated under the well-regarded Aegis Living brand, the community benefits from the expertise of a major regional provider with a deep footprint across the Pacific Northwest, allowing it to deliver more structured care to older adults in King County.
The community demonstrated a high standard of care during its most recent state inspection in April 2025, which resulted in zero deficiencies.

With only two deficiencies compared to the Washington state average of 31 per inspection cycle, this regulatory record reflects the community’s commitment to compliance and improving its operations.
A wide array of amenities tailored to residents’ health and comfort is offered, including a spa, a hair salon, red light therapy, and on-site therapy services. An AI-assisted anti-fall system and building-wide emergency pendant and motion sensor technology are also provided for safety. The lifestyle is defined by flexibility, highlighting an all-day dining model from 7 AM to 7 PM and a robust calendar of over 200 monthly activities ranging from music therapy to Nordic baking demonstrations. This pet-friendly community also includes housekeeping, linens, utilities, and 24-hour staffing in the monthly rate. Families can also stay connected via the Aegis Live technology platform.
With pricing starting at $4,560 per month, Aegis Living Ballard is an excellent fit for older adults in Seattle seeking light to moderate assisted living or specialized memory care support.
