Well-Being Philosophy
Holistic Care, The Artis Way
“I taught two generations how to garden … and I still have a green thumb.”
– Diane C
Artis Resident
Our evidence-based, holistic well-being framework includes an optimal combination of a supportive environment, discreet care, social connection, and cognitive health.
Environment
Our intentionally designed communities promote safety and independence with adaptive, accessible design, décor that creates a sense of familiarity, and secure outdoor spaces that encourage exploration.
Care
We provide support with medication reminders and activities of daily living, along with better nutrition and exercise programs to enhance overall well-being.
Connection
We offer daily, well-rounded opportunities for participation and social engagement with neighbors, associates, friends, and family – and monthly outings – fostering a sense of autonomy, belonging, and purpose.
Cognitive Support
We engage residents in specialized programs and therapies designed to stimulate cognitive function and promote emotional well-being, including music and art therapy, memory-enhancing exercises and games, reminiscence therapy, and sensory stimulation exercises.
Memory Care
Memory Care at Artis is designed to help people living with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia feel empowered in their care and in their day-to-day lives. A licensed nurse is on site 24/7, and associates are specially trained in dementia care.

are saying
Two particular things I want to note – the staff turnover is remarkably low. I first started the process in October of 22 (issues on my end delayed the move, not any issues with Artis), and from then until February of 2024, not a single leadership/management role turned over. This has not been my experience at other senior living environments. And while she was in their care, her primary care partners also did not change. Of course there were some changes, but to be able to keep the primary caregivers consistent is a huge advantage when working with people with dementia.
The other thing – I can’t overstate how much the staff cares about the residents. My mom was in hospice care at Artis, and her passing took many days. Either my brother or I were there 24 hours/day during that time, so we witnessed a lot. Staff members from all shifts, whether they worked directly in my mom’s neighborhood or not, came by to see how she was doing, to pass along their condolences, and to tell us stories about their experiences with her. Many had tears in their eyes as they did so. And the many interactions we saw/heard between the staff and the other residents – all supported our experience that the staff are doing more than just keeping the residents safe and healthy. They are doing their best to make them feel cared for and about.
It’s a difficult decision, to move your loved one into memory care, leaving them in the hands of strangers. I was never anything but happy with my decision to choose Artis.
My mother was admitted the end of 2023. All of Artis executives, staff are always happy kind and helpful during this process. We couldn’t be happier that Mom was able to enter this next phase in life!
Artis has made this transition from sadness to happiness….
