Aegis Living Ravenna

Mike and Marci ClevengerSeptember 6, 2020We would like to express our gratitude to Aegis Living at Ravenna for the care they have provided to our 93 year old mother and mother-in-law. She came to Aegis from an independent living situation in another city at the end of June during the current Covid 19 crisis. Between leaving the city she had lived in for over 70 years and moving during Covid 19 it was a very stressful situation for all of… us. Everything was done sight unseen and we still have not been able to step inside the facility. Sue sent videos of the property, hosted multiple group calls and made sure we were informed every step of the way.Since mom’s arrival the staff has gone above and beyond to make her welcome and meet her needs during these trying times. We get timely reports on anything we need to know and often receive a picture or two attached.From helping to arrange the move-in, caring for her during the initial14 day quarantine and getting her oriented to her new home, the staff and management have been first class.Within the first week we knew we had picked the right facility and have not looked back.Thank you Aegis at Ravenna staff for the dignity, respect and compassion you show to the elders we have entrusted you to care for.

My 93-year-old mom recently passed peacefully, about a year after moving into Aegis Living. In a sense, it was a bonus year for us. She had lived a full life and was ready to go a year ago, but her resilient body kept on going despite the dementia that changed so much of what she could manage for herself. Last June, Mom agreed to a short-term stay at Aegis at Ravenna, and then moved in permanently in July. There were many… pluses for us. The location was perfect. Mom had raised her kids in Maple Leaf, and my younger sister lived just north of Aegis and I was just to the east, an easy walk. Mom and her family had lived in Rome, Italy for three years, so the look and feel of Aegis at Ravenna was warm and welcoming and familiar. The Aegis community made it easy for us, as family members, to join Mom for dinners (sometimes lunches and breakfasts if I walked over in the morning). That was great social time (and delicious food) and also a chance to have fascinating conversations with other residents. We came over almost every weekend to watch football games with Mom in the sports bar. Mom enjoyed herself. Her studio was the perfect size to be comfortable and manageable. All of these visits gave us the opportunity to get to know staff and show our appreciation and get our questions answered. I highly recommend trying out the short-term stay first. It opens your eyes to possibilities

I’d like to thank Brenda, Lori and the entire Aegis staff for all their work ensuring that my Uncle Dan’s transition to the Community went so smoothly. While moving during a pandemic is never easy, they were there every step of the way from helping me schedule a Covid test to getting his computer and phone set up so we could be in contact with him during his 14 day quarantine. He is doing great, loves the food and personal… attention and really enjoys his Western exposure and view of the Olympics and sunset. I knew this was the right place for my Uncle, as just a year ago we moved my Mother to the Community and they’ve been doing a great job taking care of her. I look forward to my Mom and her brother being able to spend time together in their new Community, keep up the great work!
