Aegis of Bothell

After having a difficult time with a different assisted-living provider, we transferred our grandmother to Aegis of Bothell. Aegis has been perfect. My grandmother requires a scooter to move about and an oxygen tank to be maintained. The complex has many spacious elevators available for use and the outside has many ramps that make trips outside very easy. Aegis also ensures that her oxygen tank is always at the proper levels and my somewhat feisty grandmother has never complained about an attendants visit to her room. The price for Aegis is great especially considering the abundance of entertainment offered to residents. Two to three times per week, a local musician comes for meals to play songs that residents grew up with and holidays are always accompanied by a large feast where family members are invited. The manager of the branch visits regularly and mingles with residents and family members which makes everyone involved feel very welcome to the community.

I visited this facility with a client. She did not like the size of the building and thought the its location was too close to Bothell's center. It was rather easy to make out the sound of traffic outside, and we heard an ambulance pass by twice during our visit. Although it seemed as though they had a lovely, close-knit community, and my client loved the little dog that wandered the facility, she did not choose this facility for her long-term residence.
