39 communities: Washington & California, with new openings in Bellevue and Laguna Niguel
Since 1997: Founder-led, hospitality-trained leadership. Headquartered in Bellevue, WA.
6 levels of care: From Light Assisted to End-of-Life — your community grows with you, not around you.

The Aegis care continuum

Six levels of care. One community that adapts as you do.

Most operators move you across the hall when your needs change. We move the care to you. Choose the level that fits today — the building grows with the chapter.

Light Assisted Living

Mornings that look exactly like they always have.

Our communities

Designed for the way our residents actually live.

Built around the person.

Each Aegis Living community is purpose-built and locally led, with the same six levels of care, the same chef-led dining, and the same Life's Neighborhood® memory-care approach. Hand-picked exterior architecture and interior design reflect the neighborhood; everything inside is consistent Aegis.

What we believe

Growing older should mean morelife — not less of it.

The idea Aegis was built on, every day since 1997

Life at Aegis

Senior living, reimagined by a hospitality team.

Founder Dwayne Clark spent two decades running hotels before he ever ran a senior community. The result is a daily life that looks more like a small, beautifully programmed resort — and feels nothing like the building you're picturing right now.

01 · Interiors

Interiors designed by Hollywood set teams

Every community is custom-designed — no chain-hotel beige, no clinical hallways. Plush common rooms, art collections, and details you'd notice in a boutique hotel.

02 · Kitchens

Demonstration kitchens with resident chefs

Meals are prepared in open kitchens by trained chefs — and residents are invited to help. Seasonal menus rotate every six weeks. No trays, no buffet line.

03 · Programming

Themed parties & experiences, every week

From a New Orleans Mardi Gras night to a Tuscan harvest dinner — our life-enrichment team runs the calendar like an event production company.

04 · Wellbeing

Juice bars, salons & on-site wellness

Daily fresh-pressed juice, on-site salons, fitness studios, and physical therapy — the small luxuries that make a community feel like a place to live, not a place to wait.

Portrait of Dwayne Clark, founder and CEO of Aegis Living

Founder & CEO

I started Aegis because the industry had decided that older meant less. Less food. Less design. Less imagination. We do the opposite — every single day.
