Aegis Living Lake Union isn’t just a beautiful community with sweeping views of the Space Needle and Lake Union; it’s redefined what’s possible in senior living. As the first assisted living and memory care community to pursue the world’s most ambitious sustainability standard —the Living Building Challenge Petal Certification —Lake Union proudly stands as the greenest senior community ever built. This revolutionary project has won national accolades, including the ULI Americas Award for Excellence, the AIA Design for Aging Review Award, and the Senior Housing News Gold Medal for Best Assisted Living Design.
Residents and families can be proud of living here. And for joining a movement. Lake Union runs on 100% clean electricity, features solar and battery backup for resilience, rainwater and greywater recycling that saves over 140,000 gallons per year, emission-free building systems, and vibrant biophilic design with rooftop gardens and plant walls. Even the architectural story honors Northwest legacy, with design touches inspired by the famed 1936 Olympic rowing team, immersive art, and a sense of place loved by city locals and green building advocates alike.
Life here is more than active; it’s uniquely inspired. Over 200 tailored programs monthly range from TED Talks in sunlit lounges and walking clubs along the waterfront, to music therapy, chef-led farm-to-table demos, balcony flower arranging, and guided memory walks on our green rooftop terrace. State-of-the-art technology, city access, art partnerships, and community events showcase every resident’s interests.
Lake Union is a model for progressive, dignified, and joy-filled memory care. The “Life’s Neighborhood” community supports individuals at every stage with world-class staff, secure and beautiful indoor/outdoor environments, and personalized programming. Every detail—from secure sensory gardens to memory lanes—was built with input from national dementia experts and earned industry-wide recognition for both design and outcomes.
Wellness is woven into every aspect:
“The building is beautiful, the support and services are first rate, but the staff are the heart and soul… a true sense of community.”
“Sustainability and world-class care under one roof. We love being a part of this neighborhood.”
“Lake Union sets the bar for memory care, aging in place, and meaningful relationships in an urban setting.”

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.
