Aegis Living Aptos

Where Nature, Community, and Care Come Together in Aptos
Located in the peaceful coastal town of Aptos, Aegis Living blends small-town charm with expert senior care in a setting surrounded by redwoods and just minutes from the sea. At the heart of the Heather Terrace neighborhood, our Assisted Living and Memory Care community offers a garden-inspired lifestyle, where raised beds, quiet walking paths, manicured gardens, and views of nature create a calming and beautiful home. Our close relationship with nearby Cabrillo College adds an enriching layer of connection to the local community through intergenerational programs, performances, and educational opportunities.

Celebrating Enrichment, Connection, and Joy Every Day
Our compassionate care is backed by years of experience and deep community roots. We offer a full spectrum of personalized care—from Light Assisted Living to advanced Memory Care—supported by 24/7 care managers, nurses seven days a week, and on-site therapy services. Residents with mild to moderate memory loss benefit from our Transitional Care program when they are not yet ready to move to Memory Care. We also welcome couples with differing care needs to our community, where each of their individual needs can be met.

With a calendar filled with daily activities, you will enjoy excursions to live concerts, theater, and cultural events at Cabrillo College, along with a variety of creative programs and activities at home. Whether you’re enjoying the blooms in the garden, savoring a chef-prepared meal, or exploring a favorite hobby, each day is filled with moments to enjoy.

Their Loved Ones Have to Say

My Mom is extremely happy, and is thriving, at Aegis. She really adores the staff, the activities, and the food. As she often tells me, there is never a dull moment. She likes how she can choose to have sociable days, in which she participates in activities, or quiet days, when she just hangs out in her beautiful room.

Aegis Living Aptos

A friend of mine moved into the Aegis [Living] Aptos memory care unit a couple of months ago and it has been a lifesaver. She was really struggling at home and the move to Aegis has brought her a new quality of life and peace of mind to her loved ones. The Aegis staff are dedicated, communicative, professional, and caring. I have been impressed all around and most importantly my friend loves her new home.

Kaitlin G., Friend of Resident
Aegis Living Aptos

My Mom spent nearly a year at Aegis. She recently passed away there after a 5-month battle with cancer. There are no words to describe the loving care my Mom received from every single person at Aegis. The staff assisted our family and my Mom through the toughest time in our lives. They were all there for Mom 24×7. They worked with hospice to provide her with everything she needed. Aegis is a great place and I am so sad that Mom was not able to spend more time there. I will miss everyone at Aegis…they feel like family to me!

Did you know we offer short-term stays for seniors? Whether you are heading off on a much-needed vacation, need temporary support for a few days, or just need a break for a few hours a day, your loved one can enjoy everything our vibrant communities offer. You can relax knowing they are being safely cared for by an experienced and dedicated team.

We’re here when you need a break.
In the final stages of life, when a cure is beyond reach, Aegis Living’s hospice program offers dignified End-of-Life Care. We join forces with a trusted local hospice provider, either chosen by the family or recommended by the community, to offer comforting care and supportive services to your loved one during this challenging time. Through a coordinated care plan, hospice services complement and layer on top of our daily basic care offerings, delivering comprehensive support tailored to the resident’s specific requirements.
If your loved one is experiencing mild or early signs of memory loss, you may assume that designated Memory Care is their only choice. It’s not. At Aegis Living, we offer an alternative approach through Transitional Care. Unlike most senior housing providers, we defy the assumption that early signs of memory loss mandate a move into dedicated Memory Care. Our program supports residents who are not ready to move full-time into our Life’s Neighborhood Memory Care. Our communities are designed to safely maintain a sense of independence, enabling those with mild to moderate memory loss to remain in assisted living if that is where they feel most comfortable. Our supportive team members are specially trained to help them tackle memory loss challenges while keeping their independence.
Known for our expertise in Memory Care, we offer a spectrum of options for seniors diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. For those with mild to moderate memory loss, we offer transitional Assisted Living. For those with more advanced memory loss, we have a dedicated Memory Care section of our community, called Life’s Neighborhood. Our around-the-clock, compassionate team provides personalized care to meet our residents wherever they are, and our rich programming includes recreational and social activities to keep residents active, engaged, and making new friends. Our team is here to support our residents’ families too; over the decades, we have supported and educated thousands of families through the journey.
If you or your loved one are no longer safe or thriving living independently, Assisted Living offers flexible levels of support and a true community. Our Assisted Living communities are staffed by kind and skilled caregivers, available around the clock for whatever residents need. This may be very little for now but we are also able to accommodate a very high level of care. Meanwhile, with cooking, transportation, housekeeping, and laundry taken care of, residents can relax and enjoy all life has to offer.
In Light Assisted Living, we celebrate the spirit of independence and inspire you or your loved one to live life to the fullest. With a focus on providing the right balance of assistance and autonomy, our dedicated team is committed to helping residents thrive in their warm and welcoming new home. From a robust calendar of engaging activities to a community full of new neighbors and friends to meet, we are here to make life easier and more enjoyable.
