Once completed, it will feature expansive common areas and a variety of apartment styles, offering 68 assisted living apartments and 18 Life's Neighborhood(TM) apartments serving those living with memory care issues.

The new Bellevue community, which will be the second for Aegis in Bellevue, will include a wide array of amenities including a private movie theater, library, massage, and saloon.
