How does pricing work at Áegis Living San Rafael?

Pricing is based on your apartment choice plus the level of care services you actually need, which are billed as care is provided rather than as a one-size-fits-all package. Because needs vary, we recommend scheduling a personalized visit so our team can walk you through current rates for the floor plan and care level that fits your situation.

What is dining like at the community?

Dining centers around the Bougainvillea Kitchen, a social hub featuring California ingredients, resident favorites, and lighter health-conscious options. Residents enjoy flexible, celebratory experiences ranging from wood-fired pizza nights to chef's specialty menus paired with local wines, often accompanied by live music or cultural events.

What kinds of activities and wellness programs are available?

How is safety and staffing handled?

The community provides 24/7 care with onsite nurses available daily, so support is always close at hand. With Memory Care residences secured within Life's Neighborhood and a full team trained in our care philosophy, residents and families can feel confident that help is available around the clock.

Do you offer short-term or trial stays before committing?

Yes, we offer Respite Care, which provides a short-term stay in a fully furnished apartment with access to dining, activities, and care services. Many families use respite as a 'try before you move' opportunity, or as support during a caregiver's travel or a recovery period.

Where is the community located, and what's nearby for visiting families?

Áegis Living San Rafael sits in the heart of Marin County, with our distinctive Mission Revival architecture and blue-tiled bell tower at the center of downtown San Rafael.
