Gratitude

Aegis Living Kent Team, I will always remember your compassionate & gracious care you gave my Dad and thank you for the beautiful wind chime!!

A huge THANK YOU to the entire staff! Chris, Fili, Jane, Marcia, Angelica, Juanita, Marychiu and so many more! You are all amazing, kind and caring people and the work you are doing in these uncertain times is wonderful. And allows me to no my Mom, Suzanne, is safe and sound in your care. Thank you all!

I would be lost without Bobbie at the front desk (Aegis Lodge Kirkland). She is a bridge between me and my Mom and I can always count on her for a quick factual update.

McKenzie and Brianna are fabulous with my Mom. They truly care about her and they are some of the few that my Mom actually responds well to. I have a special place in my heart for both of them.

Greetings & Salutations, I would be remiss if I did not first say “thank you” to you and your entire staff for the amazing care that you provide to all the residence at Aegis. Not only during these very challenging times but everyday all year long. Nothing quiets our hearts more than to see a photograph of Mom and Don spending time together, or Mom smiling. We have enjoyed the FaceTime conversations that we have had and the… weekly updates on how Aegis is working hard to keep this horrible virus at bay. We do not take for granted one bit all the sacrifices your staff is taking to make sure all the residence stay well and safe. So again thank you for all you are doing.

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
