About this facility
Aegis Gardens is a state-licensed residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE) at 36281 Fremont Boulevard in Fremont, California. Licensed for 85 residents, the facility is operated by Fremont Blvd Fremont LLC under the Aegis Senior Communities brand and holds a current license from the California Department of Social Services (CDSS). The facility's name and licensing records indicate it offers memory care services for adults living with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and related cognitive conditions. As an RCFE rather than a skilled nursing facility, Aegis Gardens provides non-medical residential care, personal assistance, and supervision—not 24-hour nursing care.
Memory care approach
As a California-licensed RCFE providing memory care, Aegis Gardens is subject to Title 22 regulations governing dementia care in residential settings. Under sections §87705 and §87706, facilities serving residents with dementia must maintain specific safeguards: individualized care plans addressing cognitive decline, staff training in dementia care techniques, secured environments to prevent wandering, and protocols for behavioral interventions. The facility's CDSS inspection history shows 36 reports on file with zero deficiencies cited—meaning state evaluators have not documented Title 22 violations during those inspections. Families should note that zero deficiencies reflects the inspection record only; it does not address programming details, staffing levels, or care philosophy, which are not captured in licensing data.
Location & neighborhood
Aegis Gardens is located on Fremont Boulevard in Fremont, California. The East Bay generally experiences mild weather year-round, which can support outdoor visits when the facility permits them. Families should contact the facility directly for specific directions and visitor parking information.
What families should know
