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!

🌟 Meet Cathy – warm-hearted encourager, program enthusiast, a friend to all! 🌟

.✅ Never too busy to check in on a neighbor.
Cathy is popular at Artis of Wilmette – and once you spend five minutes with her, you'll understand exactly why. She's at every program on the calendar. As a lifelong teacher, she is known to form personal close bonds with the whole Artis team.
She's the neighbor who notices when someone needs a lift and encourages everyone around her to jump into the fun.

On World Alzheimer's Day, we honor the genuine, human experience of families navigating the dementia journey — the late-night questions, the worry, the grief for someone who's still right in front of you. We also celebrate what we know living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia can be – meaningful days filled with purpose. Connection. Belonging. JOY.
💙With a thoughtfully designed environment, discreet care and opportunities for social connection, and cognitive health support, inspired well-being is possible.
That's "The Artis Way."

🎤For my final Pass the Mic post, I wanted to close out with something very meaningful to me.
One of the most favorite aspects of my job is being able to make positive memories for both our residents and our families.
This year, with the dedication of Steve, our Director of Life Enrichment, and the incredible support of the team, we were able to help our resident, John, attend his daughter’s wedding. Not only did he attend, he was was able to join her for the father-daughter dance, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room.
That’s “The Artis Way” in action. “All Together”, and “Radiating Positivity and Compassion”.
Thank you for following along with me this month. It’s been an honor sharing a piece of life here at South Hills. Stay tuned, next month brings a brand new face to the mic!

🎤 For my third installment of Pass the Mic, I’m taking you inside how we choose our “Positive Partner” here at Artis of South Hills.
Each month, our leadership team nominates associates who go above and beyond in how they show up for residents, families, and each other and demonstrates “The Artis Way.”
This time, we’re proud to award Suresh Khadka, a Care Partner who embodies our “All Together” approach every day. Recently, Suresh jumped in to clean up after a resident flood and stayed until our Director of Environmental Services arrived. He’s known for his gentle, attentive care with residents. Families consistently tell us how much they appreciate having him in the neighborhood.
Congratulations, Suresh. You represent exactly what we hope for in every associate at Artis.

This number is really a reflection of trust — the families who chose us, and the way we tried to honor that.
Thank you to the families who took the time to share their experience and give feedback. And kudos to our team for earning it every day.
Here's to continuing to honor yesterday and celebrate today, one story at a time. 💙

🎺 We love a parade – and it’s how we’re exploring Play as Balance at Artis in September.
Movement supports balance and stability, at every age. When engagement is supported through rhythm, repetition, and guided movement, rather than ability or performance, people living with dementia can feel more steady, connected, and confident.
Join us for a music-and-movement-led experience where you can participate on your feet or in your chair, playing an instrument or simply swaying to the rhythm.
The more the merrier! 💙💙💙

A big Artis THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our informative program on navigating the mysterious language of dementia. 🧠
Our loved ones with memory loss can act in ways that frustrate us — but these challenging actions are often the only way they can communicate. This session broke down how to make sense of that communication and respond with confidence.
Together, we covered:
💙 How to interpret your loved one's body language and other signals
💙 How to respond appropriately and effectively to different actions
💙 How to develop patience and understanding for their unique needs
📹 If you couldn't join us live, or want a refresher on all we discussed, the full session is available to watch now.
