Gratitude

Fenot at Aegis on Galer,
You have been such a blessing to my father and me! I can’t say enough about how grateful I am for your attention, care, and communication during this unfathomably trying time. Senior care is daunting enough without a dangerous pandemic, yet you have met the old and new challenges head on and inspired hope and faith in your profession and humankind. Eternally grateful,
Lynne

Hello and happy Friday to everyone at Aegis! Your care for our mom has created peace for us. Thank you for your diligence. Our family wants to especially say a BIG THANK YOU to Lisa Trevor. Lisa has consistently created a Zoom with our family on Sunday afternoons so we can check in with mom. Lisa affectionately calls it “Laura’s Happy Hour”! We love and appreciate you so much, Lisa. Chris and family

My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last summer. With her cognitive ability rapidly declining, I realized she could not live alone. The moment I stepped across the threshold at Aegis of West Seattle I knew I’d found my mother’s future home. Over the past six months, Aegis has taken care of my mother and our family in many ways. The staff at Aegis are kind, caring and compassionate. Great care is given to ensure my mother’s physical needs… are met. Throughout the day, memory care staff run programming that stimulates my mother’s thinking and keeps her engaged. Meals are well-prepared and delicious; I know as I’ve eaten there several times, including during amazing holiday events put on for Aegis residents and their families. The center has happy hour several times a week, including live entertainment and a glass of wine. Aegis staff have taught my family and I how to interact with a person with Alzheimer’s and provide educational speakers and a support group for family members. Even my mother’s old dog, who lives with her at Aegis, gets wonderful care! Knowing that my mother is well-cared for by compassionate people provides tremendous relief. I feel like Aegis staff are an extended part of our family, stopping to greet us when we visit and share news about their families even as they warmly listen to my stories. After six months, I would not have my mother anywhere but Aegis of West Seattle. Cathy Thompson

In these unprecedented times, I will never be able to express how much that meant to me and how much it meant to my mother. I want you to know that your magnificent care in every detail of her life with you will never be forgotten by myself and my family. There are no words to describe how thankful I am to you and any gesture I make to show my gratitude can never be enough. You make such a… remarkable and profound difference in the lives of residents and their family and friends. Never forget that. We love you all and miss seeing you terribly. When this pandemic is over we hope to visit and gather in remembrance of my mother, and your loving care. – Debbie, Michael, Cali and Trevor

When I stayed at Aegis, I was very happy to be there and helped by the wonderful staff in every section. The activities were enjoyable and the food was nice.
The only reason I moved was because my condition improved to an assisted living status.
