Artis Senior Living

We looked at 8 options before choosing Artis Wilmette for my Dad. The big reasons we chose Artis over the other local places for memory care are: 1. This facility is all memory care, all the time. Memory patients are the sole focal point and get all of the attention. 2. Activities happen here, all day. Staff works to get and keep residents involved. Other places promised “great activities, all day” yet there were no activities happening and the posted schedules were light. 3. The number of residents is larger than the other memory facilities we visited. The size initially concerned me but it’s good. The population is broken down into smaller “neighborhoods” for meals, meds, care, etc… but the larger aggregate population ensures a greater number of residents at different stages of disease. One facility we visited had capacity for 18, with 13 in residence and 8 bed/wheelchair bound. It was a lovely place, but not right for a more active patient (IMO). Hope this helps someone!

Reasons that we chose Artis Senior Living of Briarcliff Manor over some other places that we had previously looked into: -Excellent care -Caring staff -Organized -Clean -Full schedule of activities for residents I would absolutely recommend this facility to anyone looking for memory care.

Our family had an in person tour with Great Falls Assisted Living and based on everything we saw and everyone we were able to speak with, we had a great tour experience.

I do not really have any experience with the food. The facility is very expensive (as most are). Overall based off of our experience so far, I would recommend Great Falls Assisted Living to others looking for memory care.

I toured Artis Senior Living of Branford and it was a great visit! The facility is close to home, but could not accommodate all of my loved one's needs. I would definitely recommend this facility for other friends or family.

[Name removed] CDP Director of Marketing went above and beyond helping us during the placement of my loved one in [date removed]. Once settled my loved one saw the activities going on (bowling I think) and my loved one left us, walked in, and joined the fun. This seems to be their favorite part of their day. My loved one eats everything served but you can request other menu options but I noticed most residents take what is served. There is a nurse and Aides assigned to each wing and they are very good to answer or find someone to answer any questions about your family member. The nurse director is very involved with residents, staff, and families. This is a closed memory care facility and safety is a priority and well maintained. They also have a secured walking trail outside. Compared to other facilities visited this was the best fit for my loved one.

We chose Artis Senior Living of Lakeview because the price was affordable, the building was relatively new, and the staff and residents were smiling. When you go to visit, everyone is smiling and that is what sticks out most.

Keeping good personnel is a concern in all facilities. The Neighborhood Coordinator is first-rate. [name removed] returns calls quickly . She is caring and experienced. The facility is super clean due to excellent leadership from [name removed], always a smile on his face. The Activity Director (name removed) offers variety and effort. I would highly recommend this facility.

We chose Artis Senior Living of Yardley because of the newness, setup and cleanliness of the facility. And the marketing director ([name removed]) was not just a salesperson. She was very knowledgeable about dementia and addressed all our questions and concerns. (It was a new and startling diagnosis for us and she spent time with us answering our questions.) We could not be more pleased! My father-in-law is very happy there. Everyone there knows him and have nothing but nice things to say about it. They really care.

This is a great community. The community and staff feel it is the residents' home and treat it as such. Everything is nice and neat. There is laundry service that is included for the residents. The community smells wonderful. They welcome visitors and have family events we are able to attend. The staff communication with the family is great! They are responsive to our questions in person, via email or phone. This is a huge plus for us. There are there are three meals a day. There is a menu for the residents to choose three options from. If the residents doesn't care for the items offered the residents can choose a standby option. There is a full kitchen if the residents would like to fix some themselves as well.

This is a wonderful community! They have great staff, who are very helpful. They were able to make the transition for my loved one and family a bit easier. There are two entrees the residents have a choice of two entrees. The meals are good. The staff communication with the family has been very good when we have questions about our loved one. Overall, I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones.

It's a brand new facility- opened in May. So they are only 1/2 filled now, which means when a resident arrives they get a lot of attention and the staff get to know them as individuals. My loved one has medical needs and they have a full time nursing staff which was very hard to find. They have an in house doctor so I only need to take him to occasional specialists. Until now I've had to cover so much of his care - for several years. It has been a great relief to have him here.

My friend has adapted very well. The doctors there are pretty good. The value for the money is very fair. There is no issues, and they take care of my friend. Artis went above and beyond, and they thought he would be a good fit. The staff is very accommodating. They are well-staffed, and they are able to maintain care for the residents one on one. They are very intuned with residents.

They are very nice. I am very pleased. They call if there is any problems. The food looks very good, compared to other places. They have very nice activities. We picked this community because it was the best, and my spouse would have the freedom to move about, and the people were friendly. I would recommend to other families. It's been a good experience.

While I 100% knew that I was moving my mom into memory care, one thing I didn't realize before she moved in was that the other people who live there have pretty bad Alzheimer's/dementia. My mom was still social and able to have conversations, but there was nobody for her to talk to. It's a wonderful place though. The staff are caring and great. Just be aware of your loved one's functioning level in relation to the other residents. If your loved one is on that journey of more advanced dementia, it would be a great place for them. Olney handles dementia care right, and I wholeheartedly recommend them. There was nothing about them I didn't think was great.

We picked this community, because it is beautiful, and give my parents a lot of digninity, and atonomy. It would be nice to have more outings off campus. Overall, they are doing well with, the general care, compassion, and respect. That is very excpetable. I love the physical setting, courtyard, and ability to walk outside. My loved ones can do a 20 min walk outside. I would recommend to other famiies

We’ve had a wonderful experience at Artis. I’ve been to a lot of nursing homes, and this is by far probably the best that I’ve been to. Really everything stands out - it’s just a wonderful facility. And I’m very happy my friend is there.

This is the best place you can find for your loved one to be. The staff are very kind, and they specialize in memory care for the residents in the community. The staff communication is very good when the family has questions about our loved one. There are three meals a day served and the resident's have choices to choose from.

Five across the board. The team was great and very supportive! The staffing ratio to patient seemed to be adequate, unlike other facilities which provided appropriate oversight of my dad. Grounds were beautiful and open for the patients to have some level of freedom.

We had a very positive tour experience with Artis of South Hills. The people were all super friendly and have been great with following up with us still to make sure we are happy where we are at. I just did not get the " warm fuzzy feeling" I was looking for when I walked in. It just was not the right fit for us.
