What Artis families are saying
Artis is a beautiful facility which offers a safe environment to their memory care patients. So many services are offered and the staff is very caring.
My family is so pleased with the care my uncle is receiving at Artis Senior Living at Somers. The staff is always professional, caring and helpful. They are very responsive to any questions or concerns. We have been impressed with the variety of activities that he is participating in. There are plenty of shared common areas and a beautiful outdoor space that has a covered area and pretty walking paths. It is a comfortable, pleasant, and welcoming place to visit. We’re so happy that he is at such a wonderful place!
Artis Senior Living of Somers is a beautiful home! The team is amazing and I would highly recommend them!
Stunning facility & very welcoming staff. We were greeted with smiles upon entering and could feel the positive radiant vibes circulating the building. Thank you to Patti for the wonderful tour!
My father moved into Artis a few months ago and I can’t speak highly enough of them. At Artis they only work with folk who have memory issues. Due to this the resident’s needs and interests are catered to and it is reflected in programming and other subtle ways.
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.

My mom has been living at Artis for almost 2 years. I can’t begin to express my gratitude for the compassionate care that she receives. The staff has become “my family”. I highly recommend Artis of Somers for someone that may have a loved one with dementia.

Giving a shout out to Jenn Krumholz, Director of Life Enrichment as day after day she creates programming for the residents that are engaging, respectful, fun and mature. A highlight from this past year is when Jenn and her husband Mark did a reenactment of their wedding at Artis and residents participated in the festivities and celebration!
Let me start by saying the staff at Artis are all so kind and compassionate to everyone. Lori Gest who always goes out of her way to help the residents any way she can and does it with a big smile always! Jenn and Brian are two of the most kindest amazing individuals I’ve met and can’t thank them enough for all they do to keep mom and the residents involved and busy with activities. The front staff ladies which include Melissa too are always so friendly and helpful as well! I have observed the staff quite frequently while visiting including housekeeping and dietary who are always willing to pitch in and help the residents and know them by their first name giving them extra personal attention . Staffing artis with caring compassionate people makes my mom feel safe. I will always be grateful to each of them and hope they never get tired of caring for others because each of you truly do make a difference in their lives. Myself and our family are so thankful and hope each of you are blessed with a happy life because you have touched so many lives along the way. Please continue to staff Artis with the same kind of caring compassionate individuals so my mom and all the residents will get the care they each deserve. Thank you!
Moving a loved one into memory care can be scary and nerve racking. My husband and I went to visit several other facilities and were not happy. The moment we walked into Artis of Somers wseveral other facilities knew this was the right place for my mother- in law .we love that mother in law has her own private room and bathroom.… staff is incredible and always there to help and assist without making the residents feel like they lost their independence. Lori who is an amazing Social workers always makes sure the family is doing “ ok “ .
Our lives one enjoys the activities and outings. activities. We can not say enough about. Artis. the staff of Artis has taken the burden off the family.… for caring for our loved one.
