Aegis Living Corte Madera has accumulated 26 state citations (19 serious, 7 minor) and 5 verified complaints since 2022 across 43 inspections. A recurring pattern involves staff response to resident call buttons: inspectors found in April 2023 that pendant response times regularly exceeded 10 minutes, with facility records showing over 300 documented delays between 10 and 30 minutes and at least 37 between 30 and 60 minutes against a stated 10-minute response standard, resulting in a serious citation; a separate serious citation for the same staffing issue was issued in July 2023. A verified complaint in June 2022 found that a resident requiring a breathing treatment called 911 after staff left the room to locate equipment without informing the resident; the facility subsequently added backup equipment to the medication cart and conducted mandatory training. A November 2023 complaint investigation produced a serious citation for a repeat violation after a prescribed medication was not administered to a resident with dementia, resulting in a $250 civil penalty. A 2022 minor citation found resident call devices were not being maintained in proper working order.

Seriously concerning safety record
This facility has an FYI Safety Score of 2.5, which is among the lowest we track. This indicates a pattern of significant inspection findings and citations. Families considering this community should thoroughly review the inspection history, visit in person at unannounced times, and ask direct questions about staffing levels and corrective actions.
Large-facility dynamics
A 150-bed community can feel impersonal. Families who prioritize individualized attention and a home-like atmosphere may want to compare this with smaller Marin County options.
Marin County cost of living
Everything in Marin is expensive. While the listed pricing may appear moderate for the area, families should ask about all-in costs including care level assessments and additional fees.
