Aegis of Aptos receives mixed reviews, with many praising its beautiful, hotel-like facilities, attentive staff, and engaging activities. Residents and their families appreciate the respectful and compassionate care, particularly in the memory care unit, where staff like Oliver are noted for their dedication. The facility offers a range of activities, nutritious meals, and encourages family visits, contributing to a positive atmosphere. However, some reviews raise concerns about emergency response times, particularly regarding falls in outdoor areas, and instances of residents becoming disoriented. There are also complaints about the high costs and complex fee structures, with some feeling financially exploited. Issues with management, such as insensitive remarks about cultural decorations and inconsistent communication about costs, are also noted. Despite these concerns, many families express gratitude for the care their loved ones receive, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, while Aegis of Aptos is praised for its environment and staff, potential residents should be aware of the financial implications and ensure clear communication regarding services and fees.

As a neighbor residing in the development behind Aegis, I must caution against considering this place for loved ones. While the facilities are pleasant, there are serious concerns about the staff's handling of emergencies. Numerous residents have experienced significant falls in the back walking areas, leading to delays in assistance. Regrettably, it has fallen on nearby neighbors to alert Aegis to these incidents. Subsequently, the response time from staff to come outside and contact emergency services has been unacceptably prolonged. This alarming pattern has left many of us in the community worried about the safety of residents in the event of falls along the backyard paths. Additionally, there have been unsettling instances of residents becoming disoriented and lost. If this were my cherished parent, I would seek alternative accommodations due to these concerning safety lapses.

I have been very impressed with Aegis Aptos memory care unit. While my dad has lots of ups and downs, he seems more balanced since he moved there. This diagnosis has been a rough journey for the whole family, but I am seriously grateful for the people who work there - not only do they take great care of my dad but they are such a support for the rest of the family too.
