Highly recommend

The staff and facility at Aegis Shadow Ridge is the best I've seen: their activities, the transitions program, the family nights, the app where I can see what my mother is doing is outstanding, and the bi-weekly email communication showing her activities and participation. This is well worth every penny that we are spending. I highly recommend this location and this company.

Wonderful place for memory care

They have a wonderful program called transitions where if your family member needs memory care, but has the capacity to do some activities it allows them to participate in the activities with people that are in the assisted living area. I think it's a super valuable program. Since my dad was in the memory care area, he had a smaller room. And it was perfectly sufficient for everything he had or needed to have in the room. We had hoped he was going to be in assisted-living, but he was not qualified for that so we only got to see the memory care room and it was good. But he had come from a very large home, so I'm sure for him. It was quite an adjustment, but it had plenty of room for everything he needed at that point in his life.

Wonderful, caring staff. Clean facility and great programming for seniors

Aegis ShadowRidge has been the answer to so many prayers. The event programming is innovative and design specifically for mental stimulation. The family nights that are offered monthly are game changing because I’m able to see my mother interact with other residents and other families. It’s important to have the Fam interactions. The staff is friendly and caring, and they each realize how important the decision to put. My mother in this facility was for me and they don’t take it for granted.

Our Experience

My loved one was previously a resident at Aegis at Shadowridge and the experience was good for them overall. All of my ratings are very close to all 5s, with just one or two experiences with staff that could have been slightly better.

Review for Aegis at Shadowridge

Very caring community and well Managed. The memory care is exceptional in experience and quality of staff. All are very responsive to family and patient concerns. My moms quality of life with dementia at 97 has improved due to the professional expertise, knowledge and experience of staff, Management, and nursing care.

Unfortunately, my dad didn't get to spend too much time at Aegis at Shadowridge before he passed. The staff at this facility was excellent. I didn't meet a single one who didn't seem caring. The food was very good. I actually wanted to spend time there with my dad. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

Excellent Care

This facility has been great so far, especially compared to some of the other places that we've had experience with. The level of care here is great. Everyone is very friendly and on top of things, all of the staff are great. Housekeeping is done once a week and is very thorough. Communication with the family is good, they communicate a lot and keep me updated. Overall, it's been a very good experience. I would absolutely recommend this facility to friends and family.

Disappointing

This was a bad experience for my loved one. The turnover was high and lack of continuity. They told me that he needed to see a psychiatrist in a psych ward to evaluate, so they sent my loved one to the hospital. They ended up kicking my loved one out of the community after this.

Would recommend for family member who is older and doesn't require a lot of acitivties or socialization.

Depending on your loved one's needs, I would be cautious. If they're fairly social and want to make friends, this is not a good place. I think it's important to match the facility with the census of the people in that facility. For instance, their activities were lackluster, and I was not impressed. They had people who couldn't talk or were comatose sitting in on trivia questions. So activities were not necessarily matched to the ability of the residents. The staff were mostly very friendly and tried their hardest, although you always have one here and there that weren't. My loved one said the food was good, with a good selection, and he's a pretty picky eater. Overall it's a nice facility. But I think if you're going to be paying that much money, you'd better have a a lot more activities, and ones that are better suited for residents of different abilities. And if you have a loved one who is very active and alert, I would double check the census of the people there.

Good experience

We chose Aegis at Shadowridge because they were the most helpful and willing to work with us in a bad situation, they really stepped up. I was not able to go in during covid so they were very good with communication and sending us updates. I would highly recommend them.
