My husband is in Aegis Living Shadowridge. He has been staying there for about a month, and he is about to get out. I think it's a wonderful place, and he is getting stronger there every day. We are really pleased with the service, and I like the service that they give him. The staff are wonderful people, and it's a lovely facility. If people are interested, they need to get a hold of Katie and take a tour with her.

Aegis at Shadowridge was beautiful and seemed to have good staffing, good amenities, good activities, and a good location. What I liked least about it was that it was much more expensive than the others. The staff who assisted me with the tour was very attentive and thorough. There seemed to be a great variety and frequency of activities. The facilities were very nicely furnished, very clean, and it didn't smell. They had game rooms, a theater, a physical therapy center, a library, and a compute...

My husband was in Aegis Living Shadowridge in Oceanside for about a month or so. He's there for memory care. The care was horrendous. When someone went to visit, he was wandering around this room with no clothing on. He was pooping on the carpet and no one was coming to his rescue. He's got dementia. At one point he got upset and broke the toilet seat off and it sat there on the floor for weeks. Nobody repaired the toilet so he had nowhere to go to the bathroom. People didn't come in to check on...

The first few years at this memory care facility were very good for my relative but, alas, as the fees increased the services declined. For the final year there the activities were few and far between, our concerns were brushed aside and the services we paid for were not provided, e.g., assistance with dental hygiene. An example of the mean spiritedness that seemed to dominate - staff were told to give residents half an Oreo cookie for their afternnon treat. Take that as a metaphor for the cost ...

The visit with Aegis at Shadowridge was good, but it was very expensive. Everything was fine as far as the facilities go, but I prefer to be closer to the ocean because it is warmer there. All they have are 1-bedroom apartments. They have small 1-bedrooms and larger 1-bedrooms, but the small ones didn't have kitchenettes.

Aegis at Shadowridge was expensive, but it had a better patio and prettier facilities. It was very nice, and the people were very nice. The apartments were nice. The staff was nice and helpful.

Aegis at Shadowridge was an excellent facility, relatively new, really upgraded, and really nice. They have all kinds of activities there for the people. They have RNs on staff, a nice patio, and a garden for people to go out to sit around in. It's a nice facility. They're a very well-staffed facility, and they take care of the residents there really nicely.

My mother has moved into Aegis at Shadowridge. Her room is an apartment-type, and it’s adequate. The staff is very good, very polite, very friendly, and really good about keeping a checklist. Since she’s been there, there has been one miscommunication, which could have easily been my or their fault. I have eaten there, and the food was good. The menu is home-style, so it seems like my mom is able to have the same choices as what she would make for herself at home. At dinner, she can either choos...

I did not like Aegis at Shadowridge. The room my mom was put in was dirty, and they would not clean it. She was put in the memory care unit. The staff there was nice and friendly, but I will not go back and do business with them again because the lady who sells the rooms will say one thing and then later say that she did not say that. Once the sale is made, she no longer cares about the residents. The people who sell the rooms need to have more care and concern about the residents. They need to ...

The one that we were most impressed with was Aegis. The staff was very friendly. The place had a nice ambiance to it. It seemed very pleasant, it was upscale, and it had more of an atmosphere of a nice retirement home as opposed to a place people just go to stay, so it was very nice. The rooms were both spacious and homey. The dining room was very nice.

Aegis at Shadowridge was a nice facility as well, though not as new. I thought it was around 112 years old. It would be a very similar to the arrangement where my parents were at, with the exception that they had memory capability as well. I thought they offered a variety of different activities tailored to their particular situation. The rooms were a pretty good size. They had one bedroom, but they weren’t as new as the one that we saw at the other facility, but they were certainly nicely kept ...

To me, the cost at Aegis is a lower-priced one, but it looked like it might be OK. The people were very nice when I talked with them. The facility looked clean, but I didn't actually go into any rooms. Also, I didn't get to see any of the clients there or see how they work with the clients. The facility looked fine though.

We've already got my mother-in-law in Aegis of Shadowridge and she has been there for almost two months. We chose this place because it is very clean -- it almost looks like a hotel more than an assisted living hospital. She has her own room; they have planned activities and really good food. They also have a nice little walking area and a really beautiful garden area with swings and things like that. They have activities every day; they have their own theater room, and once a month they will ha...

Aegis Living at Shadowridge was willing to give me a sample of the place for respite care for a week. Everything was up to good standards. It was probably one of the most modern and newest places, but they were too business like. The people that run the place were pretty tight. The studio was the only one I saw and it was pretty clean, but they were a little small. Aegis felt to be a little more of a hospital environment.

This is a beautiful facility. The apartments are a good size. They will customize an apartment by connecting adjoining rooms, when possible. The staff is friendly and do an excellent job. They are warm and caring with residents, and find ways to make them feel at home and happy. For instance, they now keep my father's favorite ice cream in stock. The food is excellent. It is portion controlled, however they will serve additional food upon request. There are lots of recreational activitie...

My Dad was diagnosed with dimentia and required 24 hour attention. My daughters and I toured several facilities before choosing Aegis at Shadowridge. We were given a tour of both the Assisted Living areas and the Memory Care areas, the later of which was where my Dad resided for seven months in 2008. Aegis is an expensive option, but provides a reasonable level of care. The facility is well decorated and the room size is adequate. The activities are somewhat repetitious, but the musical prog...
