What the families we serve have to say
The building is setup with several neighborhoods. Each neighborhood has its own kitchen, dining room, living room, and bedrooms. In the center of the building, connecting the neighborhoods, are common areas that are used for activities, events, etc. Residents are encouraged to be where is most comfortable: spending time in their living room, going to an activity, visiting other neighborhoods, and when the weather is good being outside.
When my dad moved in there was careful thought about not just his medical needs but also his social needs in terms of which neighborhood he would most click with, where his apartment would be, and even in encouraging him to sit with specific other residents staff think that he would click with. He has adjusted well to his new home and he has told me on numerous occasions that “everyone here is very nice.” When I visit or call I have never had a bad experience and my dad seems like his needs are well taken care of, staff seem to genuinely enjoy his company as he does with them, and they communicate any needs to me in a professional and timely manner.
Since moving in to Artis he has begun hosting weekly bingo, has attended several parties, watched the solar eclipse, and gone on trips in the community. Artis puts a lot of thought into the residents’ experiences and quality of life. The activities range from music, games, physical activities, art, learning, trips in the community, etc. There are usually 7 activities per day to choose from. I like that he has a large range of activities to choose from and staff seek resident input on programming activities, menu choices, volunteerism, etc.
Artis offers an enhanced license which allows greater options in terms of dietary needs and transferring residents with mobility issues. Due to my dad’s dietary needs he had to move from his previous memory care residence. Artis is able to meet his dietary needs and his food looks as attractive as the food provided to residents who do not have dietary needs. It is a huge relief that it is unlikely that he will need to move anytime in the near future.
His previous residence was a mixed population building and the folk in memory care were often treated as an afterthought with minimal programming and often sat in chairs in front of the TV for most of the day. This is not what residents experience at Artis.
My dad seems happier, more engaged, challenged intellectually, and overall is doing well at Artis.
