Aegis Gardens Fremont

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Food - Menu and pictures look great but reality is disappointing. Meat tends to be chewy or hard to manage (pig ears?, 2 chicken wings). Vegetable is always blanched with no flavor. Soup is always light broth. Keep in mind most residents are old; either with dentures or few teeth left. Their in-house dietician also happens to be Head of Maintenance, Head of Care Manager, Director of Operations -- she lacks understanding ofwhat senior residents' dietary needs are. Staff - care managers: 50% are good and caring.…

I am so thankful for Aegis Garden Fremont and their care for my mother. The staff are super nice and caring, and always attentive to her needs. The facility is immaculate, with daily activities like exercise programs, games and activities that promote friendships and wellness. Additionally, the Mandarin & Cantonese food served here is delicious.

Aegis Gardens is great for Asians. They speak Asian, and the staff members are really good. It's just their community fee is over twice as much as everywhere else I saw. The studio apartments were OK. It's very comfortable and it felt a little homey. Their food looked fantastic. They have three chefs: one who is Shanghainese, one from Hong Kong, and one chef who is Cantonese. They have Chinese calligraphy, arts and crafts, and exercises. It's a very nice facility.

Aegis Gardens was very clean, and the staff was friendly. The organization and maintenance of the community was very good. They had private rooms, but it was very expensive. We were looking for something semi-private for my father, but they did not have that available. It is a very good place but too pricey.

The people at Aegis Gardens are pretty good. They have Chinese-speaking staff and serve Chinese food. Mom has one-on-one caregivers as her companions who are keeping her engaged all the time.

Aegis Gardens’ seems really nice and large. They have both memory and retirement. They have games, field trips, and bingo -- very organized. Everyone has a room and bathroom, but it’s really large, I think my dad would get lost. If someone is still active, that would be a great place. The staff was very nice, always smiling. They have a menu and make food for the oriental people.
