Part of the FYI Safety Scorecard, the independent safety rating for every California assisted living facility.
Aegis of Aptos is a 100-bed assisted living community in Aptos, a quiet beach town tucked along the Santa Cruz County coastline. The area is known for its redwood-lined neighborhoods and laid-back Central Coast character.
This is one of the higher-priced Aegis locations, reflecting the desirable coastal setting and smaller-market positioning where options are limited.
Part of a 36-community West Coast chain
Aegis Living operates 36 locations along the West Coast, bringing corporate infrastructure and standardized protocols to this Aptos community.
Pets allowed — dogs and cats
Both dogs and cats are explicitly permitted, a specific policy worth confirming if a companion animal is part of the transition.
Respite care offered
Short-term respite stays are available, making this an option for families evaluating fit before committing to long-term placement.
Average safety record
5 serious and 3 minor citations across 18 state inspections, with 3 verified complaints. Ask what's changed and how past issues were corrected when you visit.
100-bed scale
At full capacity this is a large facility. Families who prioritize a smaller, more residential environment should weigh the scale carefully on a visit.
Memory care unit structure
Aegis lists memory care as a service. Ask specifically whether memory care residents are in a separate wing with dedicated staff, or integrated with the assisted living population.
Pricing is estimated, please contact the facility to confirm.
