What the families we serve have to say
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….
