A Message from our CEO
Dear Families,
My name is Josh Krull, and I have had the privilege of working in the senior living industry for 26 years. My journey began in high school, serving as a Certified Nursing Assistant in my hometown of Buffalo, New York, where I developed a deep love for helping older people live better.
Over the years, I have been fortunate to work with many remarkable people across the country. My career includes 14 years in leadership at Atria Senior Living, one of the largest senior living management companies in North America. I served as Executive Director for communities in New York and California, and later as Regional Vice President in Southern California, where I managed 19 communities and achieved industry-leading 90%+ satisfaction scores.
Throughout my career, I oversaw functional operations including Culinary, Care, Resident Engagement, Maintenance, and Memory Care. Most recently, I served as CEO of Elegance Living, guiding the company through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and spearheading new developments in Northern California. I also modernized their operations platform to enhance services for residents and families and support the continued growth of the company.
I currently reside in Arlington, Virginia, where I enjoy playing volleyball and cheering for my hometown Buffalo Bills.
My steadfast commitment to every Artis family is to create an environment where our residents enjoy safer, more connected lives, our associates are empowered to serve with purpose and joy – and where we all Honor Yesterday & Celebrate Today. Thank you for trusting the Artis team with the care of your loved one.
Josh Krull
CEO, Artis Senior Living
What Artis families are saying
I am posting an update review.
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.

After visiting several facilities, I walked into Artis and was welcomed by the receptionist who made me feel so comfortable. The reception area is small and quaint, unlike some of the other facilities with the fancy chandeliers and shiny marble floors. I could already tell that this place was very different from where my husband lived. As I toured the facility and met with different staff members, they told me that they truly enjoyed working there, most of them telling me that they had worked there for several years. This says a lot in an industry where there is a lot of turnover.
Touring the 4 different neighborhoods, the common meeting area, and the beautifully maintained outdoor space and walking trails, I noticed the care and attention that the team takes to make sure that everything is just like home. When they brought me into the neighborhood where my husband would sleep and have his meals, I met two amazing Care Partners whose job it is is to make sure my husband’s personal needs and meals were taken care of. Both of these women had been working at Artis for several years, which made me realize that they loved their jobs and were treated well by management. I spoke to the wonderful nurse on duty who, also, had been working there for several years. She was just as kind as everyone else that I had met.
I have enjoyed eating several meals with my husband. The chef prepares meals that rival a fine dining restaurant with all fresh ingredients (no frozen vegetables and fruit are ever served)! No wonder the food is so good. He is a trained chef, graduating from the Miami Culinary Institute. Artis does not skimp on anything!
Something that I had never encountered in all the different facilities that I had visited is a woman whose job it is is to make sure that everything is handled the “Artis Way”, following the high standards set by Artis. She spends the first two days of a resident’s arrival showing them around their new home and taking them to all the wonderful activities they plan each day. My concerns about my husband’s transition to a new facility were no longer a concern.
I needed to look no further. I had found the place where my husband would be looked after as if I was taking care of him. it couldn’t have been a smoother transition. He has now lived at Artis for almost 6 weeks, and I cannot find anything negative to say. I visit him often and always leave with a sense of calm, knowing that he is in a place where he gets the compassionate care that he deserves.
I must say that throughout my 30 years in Senior Living, Artis of Boca really gives me that down home feeling. We truly love our residents
and I love being part of team Boca!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Artis Senior Living?
Artis Senior Living is a senior living provider that specializes in supporting individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia through personalized care and purposeful engagement, in thoughtfully designed private pay residential communities. See the mission and values that makes Artis Senior Living unique among memory care communities here.
What makes Artis Senior Living different from assisted living?
Artis Senior Living is designed with a deep understanding of memory loss, while also offering assisted living at select communities. Residents benefit from dementia‑informed care, trained associates, and thoughtfully designed environments that support safety, independence, and emotional well-being across levels of care.
What is the difference between memory care and nursing homes?
Memory care and nursing homes are designed to meet very different needs.
At Artis, memory care is created specifically for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Our approach centers on safety, structure, and quality of life through dementia‑trained associates, consistent daily rhythms, and environments intentionally designed to reduce confusion and support independence. Care at Artis focuses on emotional well-being, meaningful engagement, and personalized support with daily life in a residential, relationship‑based setting.
Nursing homes, also called skilled nursing facilities, are medically focused environments intended for individuals who require ongoing clinical care, rehabilitation, or complex medical monitoring. Care is led primarily by licensed medical staff and often supports short‑term recovery following illness, injury, or hospitalization.
Families often choose Artis when dementia‑related needs, safety concerns, or caregiving demands can no longer be supported at home, but do not require the intensive medical services of a nursing home. Our role is to provide specialized dementia care that supports dignity, connection, and daily life as it evolves.
