Aegis of Moraga has been amazing, providing conscientious care for my mother over the past year. When it became impossible to provide safe care at home, the Marketing Director helped us move Mom into her lovely room in memory care. She moved mountains to get her safe quickly, even buying towels in Mom’s favorite color. Without exception, the caregivers are warm and infinitely patient, gently distracting Mom when she is anxious, knowing her preferences even when she can’t express herself. The food is wonderful. The activities staff are creative and engaging. The nursing staff can always report details about how Mom is doing and have been so helpful with medical appointments and problem solving the inevitable health challenges that arise. Without exception, every person has been welcoming to our entire family. Words are inadequate to describe how grateful I am, being able to know Mom is safe and engaged when I can’t be with her.

This place deserves 10 stars!! My mother, father, and I looked at senior living places all over the Bay Area and Contra Costa County, and we chose Aegis in Moraga because it has everything! They have one-bedroom and studio apartments that have beautiful outlooks, gas fireplaces, spacious rooms, large bathrooms, kitchenettes, and lovely archways in between the kitchen and living rooms. The apartments feel very homey and nice. There is a large, beautiful community sitting area that opens out to gorgeous gardens and a water fountain with sunny and shady sitting areas. They have a library; a salon for haircuts, perms and mani/pedis; a private dining room for family celebrations; and a big, charming community dining area. They have other rooms for exercise, yoga, projects, movies, and more. The town of Moraga is so quaint with good shops and friendly people. They also have a wonderful Memory Care unit with private bedrooms and an amazing and friendly staff. My favorite part about this place is that it feels like home. Everyone, staff included, is like a huge family!

Aegis Living Moraga is a lifesaver. My husband has been at Aegis Living Moraga for one year. He was eased into the routine of living in Memory Care by perfectly coordinated planning and I, relinquishing him, was prepared by sensitive staff who guided me through the first moments of his adjustment. I have felt confident since that day about the care he has received. I cannot express adequately how grateful I was to hear my husband’s frequent comments about how wonderful everybody was, and he referred to all of the people he was connected to: administration, caregivers, the residents he met who’d become his social world—he was, frankly, happy. It was evident he was at ease and comfortable. My husband has had dementia for nearly ten years, and his days were becoming vacant; so to observe how pleased he was to participate and to finally have some meaning restored to each day meant everything to me.

Everyone who offers kindness and care to my beloved husband fills my heart with gratitude. I know each one is constantly adapting to the changes that any Alzheimer’s sufferer will go through. The work they do is an enormous job and I have only seen them be unrushed and gentle. The staff acts as a caring family, allowing actual family to have the confidence that any suggestions, questions, or concerns of theirs will always be heard and addressed. Everyone at Aegis Moraga works with compassion and dedication.

My dad lived at Aegis Moraga for three years. I am so grateful to the staff for helping him adjust to assisted living and make the most of the comfortable and friendly environment. Dad took part in many activities, loved the food, and received the attention he needed to deal with increasingly challenging medical conditions. He was treated with the perfect combination of warmth, kindness, and respect. I had understood this for a long time, but it was made especially clear during his last few days. He was cared for with loving affection, and my family and I received an amazing level of support. I wholeheartedly recommend Aegis Moraga.
