Aegis Living Kirkland Waterfront

Southern-Italian Elegance Meets Lakeside Living in Downtown Kirkland

Experience upscale senior living on the shores of Lake Washington, where coastal charm and compassionate care come together in a setting inspired by the sun-drenched villages of Southern Italy. Aegis Living Kirkland Waterfront is an elegant, waterfront community themed around the Amalfi Coast, designed for residents who appreciate culture, cuisine, and community.

Whether you’re strolling the lakeside path, enjoying happy hour in the Como Lounge, or taking in panoramic views from our third-floor terrace, every day offers opportunities for connection and renewal. Just steps from downtown Kirkland’s boutiques, parks, and restaurants, this community blends resort-style living with personalized care.

Designed for Every Stage—Including Transitional Care

We offer a full spectrum of support from Light Assisted Living to Advanced Memory Care, and we specialize in Transitional Care—supporting residents whose needs are evolving but who don’t yet require full Memory Care. Our team also provides customized care for couples with differing needs, so both partners can stay close, even when one requires a higher level of support.

With licensed nurses and certified care managers onsite 24/7, chef-prepared meals, and expert therapies including physical, speech, occupational, and massage therapy, residents and their families enjoy peace of mind every day.

Upscale Waterfront Living

Choose from studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments, or companion suites, all with private baths, generous storage, and light-filled living spaces. Select residences include full kitchenettes and balconies with lake views.

Throughout the community, you’ll find nods to Southern Italy in the architecture, décor, and dining. Residents enjoy everything from international cuisine to garden-inspired relaxation spaces.

Unique to this location:

  • The Como Lounge, our third-floor gathering space, is styled after a classic wooden boat club
  • A cozy pub with bar-style shuffleboard, TVs, and social seating
  • Nightly movies with fresh-popped popcorn in our in-house theater
  • A vibrant resident culture filled with friendship, laughter, and daily enrichment

I am such a big fan of Aegis! And so is my mother, who is a resident! She loves the community. She loves the environment, the activities, and most of all, the people who know her and treat her like she is family! My siblings and I can rest assured knowing Mom is well taken care of both physically and emotionally. I give Aegis 10 of out 10 and would recommend anyone to visit the community.

John C., Resident
Aegis Living Kirkland Waterfront

Aegis Kirkland Waterfront is a wonderful place. My mom was very hesitant to go… She has never looked back. She is always busy with all the fun activities and entertainment. For me, she is safe and well taken care of. We are both happy to be a part of this community.

Did you know we offer short-term stays for seniors? Whether you are heading off on a much-needed vacation, need temporary support for a few days, or just need a break for a few hours a day, your loved one can enjoy everything our vibrant communities offer. You can relax knowing they are being safely cared for by an experienced and dedicated team.

We’re here when you need a break.
In the final stages of life, when a cure is beyond reach, Aegis Living’s hospice program offers dignified End-of-Life Care. We join forces with a trusted local hospice provider, either chosen by the family or recommended by the community, to offer comforting care and supportive services to your loved one during this challenging time. Through a coordinated care plan, hospice services complement and layer on top of our daily basic care offerings, delivering comprehensive support tailored to the resident’s specific requirements.
If your loved one is experiencing mild or early signs of memory loss, you may assume that designated Memory Care is their only choice. It’s not. At Aegis Living, we offer an alternative approach through Transitional Care. Unlike most senior housing providers, we defy the assumption that early signs of memory loss mandate a move into dedicated Memory Care. Our program supports residents who are not ready to move full-time into our Life’s Neighborhood Memory Care. Our communities are designed to safely maintain a sense of independence, enabling those with mild to moderate memory loss to remain in assisted living if that is where they feel most comfortable. Our supportive team members are specially trained to help them tackle memory loss challenges while keeping their independence.
Known for our expertise in Memory Care, we offer a spectrum of options for seniors diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. For those with mild to moderate memory loss, we offer transitional Assisted Living. For those with more advanced memory loss, we have a dedicated Memory Care section of our community, called Life’s Neighborhood. Our around-the-clock, compassionate team provides personalized care to meet our residents wherever they are, and our rich programming includes recreational and social activities to keep residents active, engaged, and making new friends. Our team is here to support our residents’ families too; over the decades, we have supported and educated thousands of families through the journey.
If you or your loved one are no longer safe or thriving living independently, Assisted Living offers flexible levels of support and a true community. Our Assisted Living communities are staffed by kind and skilled caregivers, available around the clock for whatever residents need. This may be very little for now but we are also able to accommodate a very high level of care. Meanwhile, with cooking, transportation, housekeeping, and laundry taken care of, residents can relax and enjoy all life has to offer.
In Light Assisted Living, we celebrate the spirit of independence and inspire you or your loved one to live life to the fullest. With a focus on providing the right balance of assistance and autonomy, our dedicated team is committed to helping residents thrive in their warm and welcoming new home. From a robust calendar of engaging activities to a community full of new neighbors and friends to meet, we are here to make life easier and more enjoyable.
