Located in the heart of Ballard on Market Street, our Assisted Living and Memory Care community blends a distinctly Northwest aesthetic with a proud nod to the neighborhood’s Scandinavian roots. Inspired by the concept of hygge—a sense of coziness, connection, and contentment—our community is filled with natural light, organic textures, and welcoming spaces that feel like home from the moment you arrive. Designed with both comfort and history in mind, Aegis Living Ballard is where meaningful care is found in the neighborhood you love.
Step inside and you’ll be greeted by our welcoming lobby and captivating water feature, honoring the maritime past with a tribute to spawning salmon passing through the Ballard Locks. The building’s cannery-style design recalls the canning industry that once thrived along the shores of Puget Sound. Each floor reflects a thoughtful blend of Northwest charm and Nordic heritage, creating spaces that are both warm and timeless.
Aegis Living Ballard offers a full spectrum of personalized support, from Light Assisted Living to advanced Memory Care. Residents with mild to moderate memory loss benefit from our Transitional Care program, designed to maintain independence while adding extra structure and support. We also warmly welcome couples with differing care needs, ensuring both receive the right level of care while living under the same roof. And throughout, you’ll be surrounded by the big-hearted Aegis Living team—known for providing thoughtful, personal care to every resident.
At Aegis, our talented chefs cater to your needs, offering flexibility in when and where you dine, as well as plenty of menu options to suit every palate and craving. Our menus are developed by registered dietitians and are as nutritious as they are delectable.
The daily experience at Aegis Living is set apart by our creative Life Enrichment team. We customize our programs to fit the interests of our residents. Activities (over 200 every month!) range from classic favorites to innovative offerings, like tai chi, music therapy, flower arranging, TED talks, walking club, and yoga.
Exclusively offered at our Ballard community, Restore Red Light Therapy offers a natural, drug-free solution for many common issues without the side effects of medications or surgeries. It’s safe, effective, and scientifically proven to enhance our quality of life as we age.
