Artis Senior Living

During my first tour I was so amazed at how friendly all the employees were, I actually suspected they had been coached to act friendly when they saw someone on tour. My suspicion was totally unfounded! The staff, from Director to the maintenance personnel, always greet visitors and residents (“neighbors” at Artis) with a smile and a hello. It isn’t long before they all know visitor’s names and who they’re associated with. Beyond friendliness, the staff is very professional. The neighbor’s family is kept aware of issues and reasons to be joyful. Neighbors are actively encouraged to participate in community activities. It isn’t long before they know their favorite and are fully engaged. A particular positive physical feature of Artis is the large outdoor patio that is enjoyed by many of the neighbors and visitors.

My father stayed at Artis Senior Living for one month in their Memory Care Facility while my mother (his primary caregiver) was having a major medical procedure. I cannot say enough good things about the facility and the staff! They went above and beyond to make him feel welcomed, cared for, and included in daily activities. If Dad got upset or felt lonely, they worked with him to help him express his emotions and were in touch quite frequently with my sister and I with text updates, videos and photos of his daily progress. It was a huge relief to see him smiling and even participating in activities. The level of care at Artis is phenomenal. They really care about their residents and their needs. It was overall a great experience and we know that should we need further long-term care, Artis is there for us and our family. Note: I only gave 4 stars for the food because Dad complained about it, but the staff did try hard to accommodate his demands and satisfy his taste buds.

The staff is very friendly. It seems like they know all 60+ of the residents by name. They call me anytime my father wants to talk to me or his having an off day. They're very attentive and caring. Great communication. They call with any concern and update me after he sees the doctor. He was agitated and had a hard time adjusting after moving in. They adjusted their care to give him more space and not stress him. it always seems like they are doing some activity. Even on the weekend the community room is open and they do something small like trivia, music, singing, etc. They periodically take day trips places. The residents get to go outside any time they want. They aren't locked in all the time. More activities and freedom than other facilities but not the lowest cost. Artis, though, is strictly memory care and designed for dementia/Alzheimer's residents. Other facilities may cost less but have them section off in a wing of the building like it was a second thought.

What our family likes the most about Artis Senior Living is the value for cost. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far

The staff here, from management on down, really takes the time to get to know the residents . It is gratifying when people throughout the facility call my family member by name. The residents are always clean and properly dressed; it is clear the staff cares about each person. Activities go on throughout the day so residents are rarely just sitting around doing nothing. Some things could be improved upon, such as communication with families, but as these places go, this is definitely one of the better ones. It's expensive but worth it if your person is still able to engage with others.

Kind team, consistent service Room sizes are tiny

Wonderful facility for my mom! Beautifully decorated inside and out! The grounds are beautifully manicured with lots of flowers and trees with a lovely patio where residents can enjoy being outside and they barbecue and the patients eat outside from time to time ! The staff is awesome and are attentive to all the residents, very caring and compassionate! It was my mothers birthday recently and Artis baked her a huge cake and everyone sang Happy Birthday and then after dinner one of the care workers bought cupcakes and again they sang Happy Birthday There are always activities to keep the residents entertained and they even have live music about once a week! Artis is beautifully decorated with artwork and photos! Very homey feel at Artis and they even have a beauty salon to get your hair and nails done every Tuesday! The bedrooms are a perfect size and eat resident has their own room! I feel so good knowing my mother is in such a wonderful place

The facility is well keep and the people are all very pleasant and helpful regardless of their position whether they are care partners, maintenance, kitchen staff or management.

As someone who has entrusted my mother's care to Artis Memory Care Facility, I can confidently say it's been a life-changing decision. Transitioning her to a memory care wasn't easy for our family. However, from the moment we arrived, the staff embraced my mom and I with warmth and compassion. Their personalized approach, tailored programs, and beautiful courtyard have truly enhanced her experience. One of my favorite things about my mom is her laugh. I joined her in a couple of the activities and they tend to always have laughter regardless of the activity. It is very welcoming. I've witnessed firsthand the genuine connections she formed between staff and residents. Staff are great and very responsive. I couldn't be more grateful for Artis.

Artis offers professional nursing and respite for clients who require memory care. The grounds are immaculate and the buildings are clean and up to date. The activities director, chef, and personal care assistants go the extra mile to make a positive impact. We all enjoyed the Mother’s Day Tea. No cures are offered here, or anywhere for that matter, but residents are safe and comfortable at Artis.

My loved one is currently a resident at Artis Senior Living of Briarcliff Manor and most everything has been great for her so far. My loved one is so well cared for- the staff is wonderful and the activities are so engaging and perfect for the residents. I would recommend Artis Senior Living of Briarcliff Manor to others.

Beautiful and up-to-date building; respectful and kind staff; many choices socially; parking; and visitors encouraged.

I lost my wife after 39 wonderful years. Her last 14 months were confined to a wheel chair. The love and support 24 hours a day were relentless. The staff were always interacting with Francoise and brought others together creating a happy and calm envirment. There was always an activity that worked in such a way all the residents could react. A huge thank you to the staff and management for always providing a loving environment and the 100 percent support.

Highly recommend that all consider Altis in their quest to help their loved ones with assisted living needs. Facility is very clean, and staff very friendly. Ample time was provided for the tour and associated questions.

Everyone working there was so friendly and supportive. The cleaning staff did a wonderful job and if there was a problem in my husband's room, they took care of it. They all made my husband, me, & my family feel like family. I was amazed how the staff would recognize us & know our names. I couldn't have asked for more caring people. If an incident occurred, they would call & inform me. The meals always looked delicious and there were always food choices. They had a nice variety of activities to get the residents involved. This was cheaper than having my husband in a nursing home facility. My husband was at Artis from [date removed]- [date removed] when he passed away from FTD.

I "shopped" around a bit and we are fortunate to have Artis as our care provider. Appreciate the availability of walking space outdoors. Artis does a very job of selecting and training their staff. My sense is there a genuine desire to care for the residents and family members. They are busy in their duties while ready to engage in responding to a simple greeting or assistance they observe is needed or requested. The positive professionalism begins with the receptions and last through signing out.

The care and empathy for the residents with dementia and other memory issues was amazing ... so patient and really hands on care ... activities were great and exercise class were a lot of fun ... the building is new and all on one floor so very easy for residents to get around ... good communication between staff is good

We find Artis a good experience for dad. Not too crowded, residents are all levels of functioning. Good companionship. It is clean. Recreation is a plus. Common areas are nice.

Very help staff right from the start. Clean, 1-level facility with memory care as the focus. All the staff are well trained in Dementia and Alzheimer’s care. Rooms are single occupancy with a half bath, closet and lots of space. Very affordable compared to all other options in Montgomery County. They have a newsletter and keep us well informed of changes or issues with my father. He is very content living there. They also work well with Hospice to make sure he is comfortable. Overall, it’s a nice, calm, and quiet place.

We could not be happier, 5 plus stars for each category! The warm bright feeling when you walk in is what really drew us here. Love the color coordination in the separate hallways- helps the residents to find there room easier. You provided furniture in the rooms, you let pets in- we try to bring our dog every week- [name removed] lights up when he sees her. Staff is extremely friendly and seen. You don't have to look far to find a staff member My uncle had a stroke alert and few weeks ago and due to the staffs quick actions they had him at the hospital right before he had a seizure.
