    Review

    Aegis of San Francisco is a highly regarded assisted living and memory care facility. The atmosphere is described as welcoming and the facility itself is clean and neat. The staff seems well-organized and happy, with little turnover. The amenities offered are plentiful, including exercise classes, on-site dining with tables for various group sizes, a barber shop, a gymnasium, and a courtyard.

    Visitors note that due to COVID-19 restrictions, there were limited activities during their visit. However, the staff remains friendly and helpful. Some guests mention that the separate area for Alzheimer's and dementia patients was not to their liking, but overall they find the place appealing.

    One reviewer shares that their parents have been residents for over a year and they are pleased with the clean and spacious rooms available. They particularly enjoy the music activities provided by talented musicians. However, parking availability is mentioned as an issue with limited grounds for residents.

    Another visitor expressed dissatisfaction with the memory care unit at Aegis of San Francisco. They believe that the staff members were not adequately trained to handle dementia clients and there was high turnover in this department. They suggest that Aegis should focus on their strengths in assisted living if they cannot provide excellent memory care.

    On the other hand, one individual chose Aegis of San Francisco specifically because of its 24-hour nursing services. They appreciate that medical personnel are available on-site for their diabetic mother's needs. The large rooms are also a plus, providing ample space for wheelchair or walker accessibility. The staff is described as receptive and attentive, ensuring that new residents feel welcomed by accompanying them during meals and introducing them to others.

    The range of activities at Aegis is highly praised by another reviewer who mentions quilting clubs, gardening assistance, exercise classes with dedicated equipment, art sessions, hairdressing services, movie screenings every evening, scenic drives in a shuttle bus, shopping trips, and beautiful outdoor spaces such as courtyards and balconies.

    While the atmosphere is generally considered fancy and homey, one person expresses dissatisfaction with the staff, management, and cost. They feel that the facility caters primarily to residents with Alzheimer's and find the activities no longer enjoyable.

    In conclusion, Aegis of San Francisco provides a clean and welcoming environment with various amenities. The assisted living aspect receives positive feedback, but there are mixed opinions regarding the memory care unit. However, it is apparent that efforts have been made to provide engaging activities for all residents. Overall, Aegis of San Francisco offers spacious rooms, on-site medical care, and a range of activities to enhance the well-being of its residents.
