  • Exclusive Interview Insights

    Our team personally reached out and conducted an insightful interview with this community on Feb. 26, 2024. Here's what we learned:

    Welcome to Ages of Aptos

    Ages of Aptos is a senior living community that offers both assisted living and memory care services. Our facility is designed to cater to the needs of our residents, providing a comfortable and supportive environment for seniors to enjoy their golden years.

    Pet-Friendly Environment

    We understand that pets are part of the family, which is why Ages of Aptos is a pet-friendly community. Residents are welcome to bring their furry friends along with them, subject to a $500 fee to accommodate their pets comfortably.

    Transportation Services

    For the convenience of our residents, Ages of Aptos provides transportation services. We have a dedicated driver available on Tuesdays and Thursdays to take residents to shopping trips, visits to the dollar store, and other errands, ensuring they remain connected with the community outside our facility.

    Professional and Caring Staff

    Our staff at Ages of Aptos is committed to providing the highest level of care, adhering to state requirements for staffing. Our team includes a medical director who, although not on-site, is available on retainer and visits every Thursday. Additionally, we have a health services director, a nurse, and two wellness nurses, ensuring comprehensive medical and wellness support for our residents.

    Safety Measures

    Safety is a top priority at Ages of Aptos. To ensure the well-being of our residents, we provide pendants that can be worn around the neck or wrist. These pendants are part of our safety protocol, allowing residents to easily call for assistance whenever needed.

    Keeping Families Connected

    Communication with friends and family is essential for our residents' happiness and well-being. Our life enrichment director, Amanda, utilizes a tracker system to keep families informed about their loved ones' activities, health, and upcoming events. This system ensures that families are always up-to-date and connected with their loved ones.

    At Ages of Aptos, we strive to create a nurturing and vibrant community for our residents, offering the care, support, and amenities they need to live fulfilling lives. Our dedicated staff, comfortable facilities, and comprehensive services make Ages of Aptos an ideal choice for senior living.
