From the very beginning, Áegis Living was built on a simple conviction: older adults deserve far more than the industry was offering. Surround residents with hospitality-grade service, big-hearted people, and an unrelenting drive to innovate — and everything else follows.
It started with a literal black box — founder Dwayne Clark's place to drop ideas for how senior living could be better. Today every Áegis Living community has its own black box, and every team member is empowered to surprise and delight residents. That spirit is built into how we hire, train, and operate.
Áegis Living drew its playbook from world-class service companies — Costco, Nordstrom, and Starbucks — not from traditional senior-care models. Our leaders bring that experience with them, from global store operations at Nike and Nordstrom to early careers in tech. The result: communities that feel like a warm, welcoming home.
From the Top 50 Best Places to Work by Glassdoor to Great Place to Work® certification and the Fortune Best Workplaces in Aging Services list. The Potato Soup Foundation helps team members and their families in life's hardest moments, and we promote from within through ELEVATE, our five-month leadership-development program.
Decades of research into longevity and brain health shape our science-based cognitive programming, our memory-care architecture, and our daily resident programming. It's a science-forward approach that informs everything from building design to the rhythm of a resident's day.
Through our development affiliate, Áegis Development LLC, we design and build our own communities — with sustainability, accessibility, and resident dignity as the brief. Every property is built to push the industry forward.
Giving back is core to who we are. The Áegis Living Foundation, Queen Bee Coffee, and the Potato Soup Foundation channel that ethos into the company's day-to-day — supporting team members, families, and dozens of local and global causes.
The same conviction still guides every Áegis Living community: older adults deserve more — and it’s our privilege to deliver it, every single day.
The best way to understand what makes Áegis Living different is to spend an afternoon in one of our communities — meet the team, savor a meal from our seasonal menu, and ask us anything.
