The people at Aegis Gardens are pretty good. They have Chinese-speaking staff and serve Chinese food. Mom has one-on-one caregivers as her companions who are keeping her engaged all the time.

About Aegis Gardens in Fremont, California
Aegis Gardens in Fremont, CA, is a unique senior living community, dedicated to the Asian culture, offering assisted living and dementia care. Located close to shopping and medical centers, those who call Aegis Gardens home will feel enveloped in the Asian culture through the interiors, landscaping and excellent Asian cuisine. Aegis Gardens features 46 assisted living apartments and 18 Life's Neighborhood apartments. When the Fremont community opened in November, 2001, Aegis was heralded as one of the first companies to provide assisted living with an authentic Asian experience for its residents. An all-Chinese advisory board helped identify what would be important to a community of Asian seniors, and what cultural significances the project would need to address. Feng Shui consultants advised architects and builders on the layout and design of the community. All 40 staff members at Aegis Gardens are of Asian descent and speak various Chinese dialects.

Food - Menu and pictures look great but reality is disappointing. Meat tends to be chewy or hard to manage (pig ears?, 2 chicken wings). Vegetable is always blanched with no flavor. Soup is always light broth. Keep in mind most residents are old; either with dentures or few teeth left. Their in-house dietician also happens to be Head of Maintenance, Head of Care Manager, Director of Operations -- she lacks understanding ofwhat senior residents' dietary needs are. Staff - care managers: 50% ar...

Aegis Gardens is great for Asians. They speak Asian, and the staff members are really good. It's just their community fee is over twice as much as everywhere else I saw. The studio apartments were OK. It's very comfortable and it felt a little homey. Their food looked fantastic. They have three chefs: one who is Shanghainese, one from Hong Kong, and one chef who is Cantonese. They have Chinese calligraphy, arts and crafts, and exercises. It's a very nice facility.

Aegis Gardens was very clean, and the staff was friendly. The organization and maintenance of the community was very good. They had private rooms, but it was very expensive. We were looking for something semi-private for my father, but they did not have that available. It is a very good place but too pricey.

Aegis Gardens’ seems really nice and large. They have both memory and retirement. They have games, field trips, and bingo -- very organized. Everyone has a room and bathroom, but it’s really large, I think my dad would get lost. If someone is still active, that would be a great place. The staff was very nice, always smiling. They have a menu and make food for the oriental people.

My mother is in a studio in Aegis Gardens. This place is very unique because it's all Asian, so they have a tremendous advantage because my mother does not speak English. They have Chinese food, an Asian menu, and Asian staff. I don't like the food, but that's just a personal opinion. They have exercises, mahjong, and bingo. The downside is it's extremely expensive.

Aegis was a very pleasant and very attractive facility. However, Aegis was really set up for some really ill people. We just had a walk around the facility. Everything was nice and relaxed. We were not able to talk to the staff because they were doing their own business, which was important of course because they had some sick people to take care of. It was more of a nursing facility. However, the appearance was very sophisticated.

Aegis Gardens of Fremont is a beautiful facility. It is a two story building built in the shape of a square doughnut with a really nice garden in the center or doughnut hole. It looks fairly new and obviously well kept up. When you enter the building, the entry is spacious and looks quite nice. The more independent residents occupy either studio or one bedroom apartments with some rooms facing the interior (center garden) and the other rooms facing the exterior (parking lot with some foliage...

Aegis Gardens seems like a great assisted living home. All of the staff that work there seem to be really friendly and helpful. I was visiting my grandma who is staying there at the moment. The facilities seemed to very clean. They also have many activities for the seniors who are staying there. One of the things that I didn't like about this place is that they don't let the seniors leave the facility very often. They are also very strict on the daily schedule for people who stay there. It is ve...

This was a Chinese Assisted Living Center geared towards elderly who could only speak in a Chinese delegate. Overall, the experience was pleasant. My grandmother spend five years here before she passed away. The staff was very friendly and there were many activities to get involved with.

My grandma stays here and I visit her twice a week. This facility is very nice, clean, and well-kept. The administrative staff and the nurses and caregivers are very accommodating and helpful. The food provided is decently good and they provide plentiful portions. For elderly people that are more active, there is space in the back yard area to take a stroll. The landscaping of this area is very nice with a fountain, flowers, and a small garden area in the corner. Additionally, they have many act...

I'm not sure exactly which metrics by which to measure the quality of an assisted living facility so here is my best attempt. My grandma was recently moved to this facility. Whenever I visit the staff seems friendly and open. Note that this is primarily an Asian (Chinese) facility. The food is decent but I could see it becoming monotonous. It's usually soft for obvious reason. They seem to try and have events for the residents to promote socializing and fight boredom including mahjong and field...

As soon as your step in , you get a very homey feeling. The staff are friendly, helpful and most importantly speak Chinese. This centrally located community is a part of a big chain, but has the warmth of a local family run community. It is a pricey, but well worth the money

My grandmother lives at Aegis Gardens. We chose it for two reasons a) its a beautiful property b) the staff are wonderful and speak Chinese. Surprisingly this is the only place in the SF Bay area that specifically caters to an Asian community. The facilities are also spacious, clean, and conveniently located by the freeway and stores. All meals are prepared for, there is a beautiful garden out back, and they have daily activities and parties for the residents. Definitely a great place to ea...
