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 values guide Artis Senior Living communities?
Artis communities operate with teamwork, compassion, thoughtfulness, and a commitment to continuous improvement and inspired well-being for residents and associates.
How do values influence dementia care?
Our values are our beacon, guiding what families can expect from us, and we expect from each other. Strongly supported values help our associates understand the “why” behind our job duties, systems and processes, which leads to more satisfied and fulfilled employees, which leads to happy residents and families!
What does “Inspired Well-Being” mean?
Inspired Well-Being reflects Artis’s commitment to supporting physical, emotional, social, and cognitive health for people on the dementia journey. We aim to create an environment that encourages individuality and independence. We believe that the right mix of sleep, nutrition, natural light, movement, meaningful relationships, and opportunities for play are the secret to living an inspired and present life.
How are associates trained in dementia support?
Training at Artis focuses on understanding the emotional experience of memory loss and how it shapes behavior and communication. All associates complete aging sensitivity and dementia-specific training prior to starting their role, ensuring a strong foundation from day one.
Ongoing development is reinforced through monthly in-service trainings that deepen skills and introduce best practices.
In addition, most Artis department directors hold a Certified Dementia Practitioners certification through the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP), reflecting a strong organizational commitment to specialized dementia care.
How does Artis create a culture of compassion?
Through ongoing education, leadership development, and team collaboration – and hiring people who care, above all, we lead by example and care for one another with the same dedication as we care for our residents. Hear Artis associates and leaders share more about our company culture here: community leaders here.
Do values affect resident experience?
Yes. Our values shape how we thoughtfully communicate, work as a team to ensure their needs are met, create a positive, joyful atmosphere through our programs, and strive to do better by them every day. Hear families talk about their personal experiences at Artis here.
How are families included in the mission?
Families are welcomed as partners and contributors to community life; we have specific events and programs for families and invite families in for programs, meals and special events. Learn about Artis’s signature Power of Play events for residents and families here.
Why do values matter when choosing memory care?
Choosing whom to trust with the care of a loved one is one of the most important decision a family can make – and not all memory care communities are created equal. Knowing a community’s clearly stated values helps ensure they align with your own values and expectations. Watch how Artis associates and leaders put our company values into action here.
End-of-life is something most people don’t want to talk about. We often do not have the proper documents or discussions with our families when they are physically and cognitively able.

🫶 A simple thank-you takes only a few seconds to say, and the warm feeling it leaves behind can linger long after. For a loved one living with dementia, that warmth often stays even when the details of the moment drift away.
As the evenings come sooner and the holidays draw near, gratitude offers a lovely way to stay connected. Sharing one thing you appreciate about each other or looking through an old photo and talking about someone you both treasure can brighten a visit in the gentlest way. At Artis, we’re weaving small acts of thanks throughout the month, so residents have a steady, familiar source of joy all season long.

💙 The thing about gratitude is it needs somewhere to go. Creating something with our own hands for someone we appreciate is one of the simplest ways to express it – and for people on the dementia journey, it can help build emotional connection and a real sense of purpose, too. In November, we’re exploring Play as Gratitude at Artis – and we have a LOT of people to be thankful for.
Join us in making gifts for a different group each week, with thoughtful hands and grateful hearts. 🥰
🔖 Week 1: Colorful BOOKMARKS for LOCAL SCHOOLS
🌺 Week 2: Handcrafted POPPIES for VETERANS
🪨 Week 3: Decorated STONES for our ASSOCIATES
🪩 Week 4: Painted ORNAMENTS for our FAMILIES

🎃 There's something about the smell of candy corn or the crinkle of an old wrapper that pulls you straight back to a specific porch, a costume, a particular autumn night. At Artis we know that our memories live in multisensory experiences so we love watching a resident's face light up the when they experience a favorite candy or smell from the holidays. A caramel can unwrap a whole story about trick-or-treating with a sibling.
This year, we want to hear from you: what was your favorite Halloween candy growing up, and what fond memories does it bring up for you?Tell us in the comments. 🎃

🎃 Is a gourd a vegetable or a fruit? This month at our communities, they became a delightful village, little people, even a coach fit for a princess. Everything was possible at The Artis Gourd Imagination Lab!
With imaginations hard at PLAY, Artis residents explored decorative gourds of every shape and size, enjoying the tactile experience of tracing the bumpy ridges and smooth curves, before transforming them into works of art.
Each texture opened a new doorway to creativity and connection. Thanks to our Life Enrichment teams for making October’s signature Power of Play event a hands-on delight! 💙

They answer the call when it matters most – day or night!
Some of our own residents once wore that uniform, and their courage
is still woven into the person they are today.
