Review

Aegis Gardens, located in Newcastle, is praised for its beautiful facility and good dining room food. The community offers a range of activities including exercise, golfing, and even a Japanese singing class. However, some reviewers note that the workers are not always friendly and that the services could be improved. Despite these drawbacks, Aegis Gardens is generally well-regarded by residents and their families.

One reviewer mentions that they toured the facility but felt it was not a good fit for their loved one. They found the community to be culturally one-sided and too far away from family. As a result, they ultimately chose another community that better suited their needs.

Another reviewer points out that while the assisted living side of Aegis Gardens is impressive with its numerous activities and fantastic restaurant-style dining area, the memory care unit falls short in comparison. They express disappointment in the stark contrast between the two sections and note that their mother has had difficulty adjusting to the different food and living conditions in memory care. Additionally, there have been some issues with communication and administrative departments, as well as incidents like an altercation between residents and missing personal belongings.

However, despite these challenges, the staff at Aegis Gardens are described as friendly and personable. The community itself is clean and beautiful, offering a combination of assisted living and memory care options. One reviewer appreciates the amenities provided at Aegis Gardens as well as its convenient location. They also highlight good communication from staff members.

Another positive aspect mentioned by a reviewer is a singing competition called Voice of Aegis held at Aegis Gardens. This event showcased local groups performing individual singing acts as well as group signings and instrument performances. Attendees were highly impressed by the level of talent displayed during this program.

Finally, a lengthy review highlights numerous positive aspects of Aegis Gardens such as outstanding amenities including on-site beauty salons, movie theaters, koi ponds, swimming pools, workout rooms, game rooms, and more. The culinary offerings are also praised, with both Asian cuisine and other options available. The facility's opulent Asian-themed decor is commended, along with the attention to detail in apartment design. Aegis Gardens also offers perks for family members and creates an uplifting atmosphere that feels more like an upscale hotel than an assisted living community.

Overall, while there are some criticisms and areas for improvement, Aegis Gardens generally receives positive reviews for its beautiful facility, good dining options, range of activities, and friendly staff.
