Nestled in Seattle’s historic Laurelhurst neighborhood, visible from the main university approach and overlooking the Burke-Gilman Trail, Aegis Living Laurelhurst invites residents to be part of something truly special. Purpose-built to serve as both a landmark and a haven, this community stands out for its Collegiate Gothic architecture inspired by the stately buildings of the University of Washington and the nearby quaint Tudor homes. From its regal, three-gabled entryway to its boomerang-shaped layout (with a hidden subterranean wing that hugs the hillside), Laurelhurst feels “grand and grounded,” offering visual drama and a sense of organic belonging from the moment you arrive.
Step inside to a black-and-white chessboard entry, a salute to aging with wisdom and grace, while sculpted ceilings, herringbone wood floors, and a restored sidewalk clock evoke the luxurious traditions and artisan touches that define Seattle’s architectural story. Every choice — from precast concrete and ornate brickwork emulating limestone masonry to ornamental gardens and lush lawns — shows a commitment to quality craftsmanship and timeless beauty.
Unlike any other Seattle community, Laurelhurst’s garden-lined patios, landscaped walking paths, and outdoor chess tables offer daily sanctuary, an inviting retreat whether you soak up sunshine, catch a gentle breeze, or enjoy a classic rainy day. Residents can walk or bike the Burke-Gilman Trail, relax among mature trees, or stroll to University Village for shopping, coffee, and conversation with neighbors and friends.
Life here hums with youthful energy and opportunity. Inspired by its university neighbors, Laurelhurst offers over 200 monthly activities: faculty-led lectures, UW sporting events and on-campus excursions, music therapy, TED-style talks, alumni club mixers, and art workshops. Residents shape the calendar, joining walking groups, book clubs, and creative classes, all within a larger, active, and friendly setting where connection is a way of life.
Health is woven into daily life:
“Beyond gorgeous and luxurious. My dad felt active, safe, and like part of a vibrant community. Food, care, and company—everything was first class.”
“The right balance of support and independence. Laurelhurst truly feels like home.”
“Staff are present, communicative, and deeply invested. My mom is thriving in ways we never imagined.”
Visit Aegis Living Laurelhurst and see what it means to “retire like royalty”—where university energy, dignified luxury, and personal connection come together as part of Seattle’s living history.

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.
