The community features 95 luxury residences—studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, spread across 112,000+ square feet, with dedicated Memory Care suites in the advanced “Life’s Neighborhood.” Every space is filled with elegant Spanish-inspired furnishings, local artisan art, and calming light.

## Lifestyle, dining & wellness

This range allows residents to age in place and adjust their level of support as needs change over time.

### How does pricing work at Áegis Living San Rafael?
Pricing is based on your apartment choice plus the level of care services you actually need, which are billed as care is provided rather than as a one-size-fits-all package. Because needs vary, we recommend scheduling a personalized visit so our team can walk you through current rates for the floor plan and care level that fits your situation.

### What is dining like at the community?
Dining centers around the Bougainvillea Kitchen, a social hub featuring California ingredients, resident favorites, and lighter health-conscious options.
