## About
Áegis Living Laurelhurst

Nestled in Seattle’s historic Laurelhurst neighborhood, visible from the main university approach and overlooking the Burke-Gilman Trail, Áegis Living Laurelhurst invites residents to be part of something truly special. Purpose-built to serve as both a landmark and a haven, this community stands out for its Collegiate Gothic architecture inspired by the stately buildings of the University of Washington and the nearby quaint Tudor homes. From its regal, three-gabled entryway to its boomerang-shaped layout (with a hidden subterranean wing that hugs the hillside), Laurelhurst feels “grand and grounded,” offering visual drama and a sense of organic belonging from the moment you arrive. Step inside to a black-and-white chessboard entry, a salute to aging with wisdom and grace, while sculpted ceilings, herringbone wood floors, and a restored sidewalk clock evoke the luxurious traditions and artisan touches that define Seattle’s architectural story. Every choice — from precast concrete and ornate brickwork emulating limestone masonry to ornamental gardens and lush lawns — shows a commitment to quality craftsmanship and timeless beauty. A Neighborhood Within a Neighborhood Unlike any other Seattle community, Laurelhurst’s garden-lined patios, landscaped walking paths, and outdoor chess tables offer daily sanctuary, an inviting retreat whether you soak up sunshine, catch a gentle breeze, or enjoy a classic rainy day. Residents can walk or bike the Burke-Gilman Trail, relax among mature trees, or stroll to University Village for shopping, coffee, and conversation with neighbors and friends.

## Lifestyle, dining & wellness
### Lifestyle
Life here hums with youthful energy and opportunity. Inspired by its university neighbors, Laurelhurst offers over 200 monthly activities: faculty-led lectures, UW sporting events and on-campus excursions, music therapy, TED-style talks, alumni club mixers, and art workshops. Residents shape the calendar, joining walking groups, book clubs, and creative classes, all within a larger, active, and friendly setting where connection is a way of life.

### Dining
Dining at Laurelhurst is a celebration of nutrition, artistry, and Pacific Northwest bounty. Chefs work with residents to create menus that balance culinary tradition and new tastes, accommodating all dietary needs in style. Host a tailgate in the alumni club, enjoy terrace views, or savor quiet meals in artful, sunlit spaces.

Our secured Life's Neighborhood is designed for residents living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, with specialized programming and compassionate, dignified support.

### Respite Care / Day Stay
Short-stay respite and day stays for post-surgery recovery, caregiver travel, or a low-pressure trial of daily life here — from a day to a month or more.

## FAQ
### What levels of care are offered at Áegis Living Laurelhurst?
Our Seattle community offers a full continuum of care including Light Assisted Living, Assisted Living, Transitional Care, Memory Care, Respite Care, and Hospice Care. This means residents can age in place as their needs evolve, without the disruption of moving to a new community. Onsite nurses are available daily and 24/7 care is in place to support every level.

### Do you provide memory care, and how is it different from assisted living here?
Yes, Laurelhurst offers dedicated Memory Care for residents living with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other forms of cognitive change. While Assisted Living supports residents who need help with daily tasks but remain largely independent, Memory Care provides a more structured, secure environment with specialized programming. Both benefit from our onsite nurses and 24/7 care team.

### How does pricing work at Áegis Living Laurelhurst?
Pricing is based on your chosen apartment type plus the level of care you actually need — Áegis bills for care as needed rather than charging a flat all-inclusive rate. As your needs change over time, your care plan and associated costs are adjusted accordingly. We're happy to walk through current rates and a personalized care assessment during a visit.

### What apartment options are available?
Laurelhurst offers a range of floor plans including Studios (with Plan 2 and Plan 3 variations), One Bedrooms (including a Plan 2), Two Bedrooms, Companion Suites, and Spacious Apartment and Bedroom options. Companion Suites are a great fit for residents who'd like to share, while one- and two-bedroom plans suit couples or those wanting more room. A tour is the best way to see which layout fits your lifestyle.

### What is dining like at the community?
Dining is a true celebration of Pacific Northwest cuisine, with all-day dining and chefs who collaborate directly with residents on menus that blend tradition with new flavors. Special dietary needs are accommodated with care, and you can choose from terrace views, sunlit dining rooms, or even host a tailgate in the alumni club. Meals are designed to be both nourishing and a highlight of the day.

### What does daily life and activities look like at Laurelhurst?
Inspired by our University of Washington neighbors, we offer over 200 activities each month — faculty-led lectures, UW sporting events and campus excursions, TED-style talks, music therapy, art workshops, and alumni club mixers. Residents also shape the calendar with walking groups, book clubs, and creative classes. With the Burke-Gilman Trail and University Village just steps away, there's always something to do.

### Are pets welcome at Áegis Living Laurelhurst?
Yes, pets are welcome here — we know how important furry companions are to wellbeing and joy. Our garden-lined patios, landscaped walking paths, and proximity to the Burke-Gilman Trail make it an especially great setting for residents with dogs. We're happy to discuss specifics about your pet when you tour.

### How is safety and staffing handled?
Laurelhurst provides 24/7 care with onsite nurses available daily, so support is always close at hand. Memory Care offers additional secure programming for residents who need it, and our Transitional Care and Hospice services mean clinical needs can be met without moving. The purpose-built new building also includes an onsite PT center to support recovery and ongoing wellness.

### Do you offer respite stays or a way to try out the community?
Yes, we offer Respite Care, which is a short-term stay ideal for trying the community, recovering after a hospital visit, or giving a family caregiver a break. Respite residents enjoy the same dining, activities, and care access as long-term residents. It's a wonderful way to experience Laurelhurst before committing to a permanent move.

### Where is the community located and what's nearby for visiting families?
We're located in Seattle's historic Laurelhurst neighborhood, visible from the main University of Washington approach and overlooking the Burke-Gilman Trail. Families can easily combine a visit with a walk on the trail, a stroll to University Village for shopping and coffee, or a UW campus outing. The community's gardens, patios, movie theater, and massage room also make it a wonderful place to simply spend the day together.
