Nestled between Cougar Mountain’s forests and Lake Washington’s shoreline, Aegis Gardens Newcastle isn’t just senior living, it’s an award-winning destination where Chinese heritage shapes every detail and all cultures are honored in kind. Here, East meets West: guardian lions welcome you at the door, feng shui flows through light-filled interiors, and every space—Zen garden, Chinese calligraphy lounge, grand piano—invites meditation, music, and family. Whether you join in Lunar New Year celebrations, practice tai chi at sunrise, or share tea with neighbors, this is a place where cultural roots run deep and every resident is a contributor to a vibrant, evolving legacy.
Our Life Enrichment program is relentless in its creativity, offering over 200 activities every month. These include cooking dumplings for the Mid-Autumn Festival, learning Mahjong with seasoned experts, discovering TCM wellness tips, participating in Mandarin storytelling, or taking a shuttle to Seattle for dim sum or a lakeside walk. The cultural center pulses with intergenerational connections—bilingual preschool visits, Asian film nights, and classes in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin keep the mind curious and the heart joyful.
True “wellness” is rooted in cultural wisdom as well as clinical excellence.
Join us for a dumpling, a story, a song, or a tour that feels like coming home.

The staff learns from us as much as we learn from them. My parents are home here—and so are we.
It’s the little touches—mahjong tournaments, calligraphy, and memories shared at each meal—that set this place apart.
We invite you to tour Aegis Gardens Newcastle and experience a culturally rich, beautifully designed community where life is celebrated to the fullest every day. Meet our warm, multilingual team, enjoy a chef-prepared meal, and see why residents from all backgrounds feel at home here. Your visit includes a complimentary care assessment and customized living solution plan, along with a Preparedness Kit filled with expert planning tools to help your family navigate senior care decisions with confidence.
Respite Stays & Day Stays give family caregivers a real break—hours, days, or a few weeks—while your loved one enjoys a safe, enriching short‑term home at Aegis Living. Guests settle into a beautifully furnished private apartment and have 24/7 care staff and onsite nurses, medication management, and discreet safety technology (motion sensors, medical‑alert pendants, visitor check‑in) for peace of mind. Each day feels purposeful with chef‑prepared, all‑day dining and 200+ monthly activities—from book clubs and fitness classes to movie nights—plus full use of the community. We coordinate with your loved one’s physicians to mirror their routines and care, so the stay feels familiar. It’s also a smart trial run for senior living: meet neighbors, test services, and see what supported independence looks like—without a long‑term commitment. Choose a Respite Stay when you’re traveling or need time to recharge, when your loved one would benefit from structure, social connection, and great meals, or when you both want peace of mind while keeping options open.
Hospice & End‑of‑Life Care at Aegis Living is comfort‑first support for the final stage of life, delivered in your loved one’s private apartment by our 24/7 care team in coordination with a trusted local hospice provider you choose (or we can recommend). Together, we create a coordinated care plan that manages pain and other symptoms, oversees medications, and provides calm, dignified help with daily needs, while offering compassionate emotional support for both resident and family. Discreet safety measures and a reliable medical‑alert system bring help quickly; chef‑prepared, in‑apartment meals adapt to changing appetites. Families are guided through decisions and moments of closure so they can focus on being present in a peaceful, home‑like setting. If your loved one already lives at Aegis, they can remain in the comfort of their home, avoiding disruptive moves. Choose this level of care when curative treatment is no longer the goal and you want expert symptom control, hands‑on daily support, and a setting that protects dignity and prioritizes comfort, meaning, and time together.
Memory Care is specialized, secure support for people living with Alzheimer’s or other dementias who benefit from a calm, structured environment and round‑the‑clock expertise. At Aegis Living, that care happens in Life’s Neighborhood—an intimate, thoughtfully designed setting where 24/7 dementia‑trained caregivers and a nursing team on site seven days a week deliver personalized help with daily living, medication management, and mobility (including Hoyer lifts and two‑person transfers), while gently redirecting agitation and confusion. Days are purpose‑filled with science‑based cognitive programming, certified music therapy, and social activities; chef‑prepared meals are easy to enjoy and dining spaces and cues are designed for memory support. Discreet safety features like secured entrances, emergency pendants with fall detection, and optional motion sensors, prevent wandering and bring peace of mind, and visiting physicians and wellness professionals reduce trips off‑site. Families receive education and ongoing support. If your loved one is unsafe alone, missing medications, wandering, needs frequent cueing or hands‑on help with bathing or dressing, or thrives with a predictable routine, Memory Care offers the right level of care. For milder needs, our transitional Assisted Living can be a first step; for advancing symptoms, secured Memory Care provides the specialized, heartfelt support to help them feel calm, connected, and at home.
