AEGIS OF BELLEVUE “Makes Life Better”

bellewoodAegis has opened a new facility in Bellevue, the Bellewood, which offers a rich array of amenities for its senior residents. Some of the more unusual offerings include organic gardening; a natural, whole and organic food program; nutrition classes; and alternative medical treatments such as eastern medicine, aroma therapy and massage therapy.

Bellewood provides a high quality of assisted living care, which includes around the clock care managers, medication managers, and a licensed nurse to monitor health care needs. For patients requiring more support, there is also a memory unit, complete with trained staff, meal preparation, managed personal and group activities, resident monitoring systems, assistance with daily activities (such as bathing or dressing), and a housekeeping and laundry service.

Indoors, there is a beauty salon, a game room, a techno-gym for physical conditioning, and a computer room as well as brain exercises to maintain brain health. Outdoors, there are not only gardening opportunities, but a playground for visiting family members, and easy access to local mass transit.

Bellewood is located within easy distance of parks, the waterfront and the Bellevue Collection shopping District; fast becoming the best shopping and dining destination in the Puget Sound region. Bellevue Performing Arts includes Ballet Bellevue, Chamber Chorus, Civic Theatre, Opera, Philharmonic and Youth Symphony Orchestras.

Bellewood Architecture was authored by Jillene Cochran of Webber + Thompson for Aegis Living, and Abossein Engineering provided the MEP design. Abossein cherishes their successful relationship with Aegis Living, which has over 30 luxury senior facilities in the western US. Aegis is well known for its resort style accommodations and highly dedicated staff, and a mission to be the people who “make life better.”
