Artis Senior Living

I'm very pleased with this community for one main reason, excellent communication! They reach out to me regularly via text, email or phone about my mother. They send me pictures of her at activities, they text me to let me know if there's a health issue. If I call, I'm able to speak with someone right away. And they listen to me & take my concerns seriously.

It is AWESOME!! Staff is AMAZING and my aunt is so happy there!! The staff go above and beyond to make residents and guests feel comfortable and welcome!

We picked this community because, of the proximity to my sister, which is 6 minutes mainly. Also it is very new and feels like a hotel. Staff is great.

Clean and welcoming environment, well maintained. Staff are excellent, well trained and totally resident-focussed. They seem to like their work and know their residents' likes, dislikes, and details. A very good place in a pleasant accessible neighborhood. I'd like to live here myself.

Our advisor recommended a memory care place right in my town that I hadn’t known about. It has been an excellent choice for my 92 year old father. We’re very pleased with his care and I wouldn’t have known about it without your assistance. I’m very grateful.

All the people at Artis were kind and respectful of my dad. They have fun activities for the residents and try to find something for everyone. I was also impressed with the communication with the families. I highly recommend Artis for your loved one.

I didn't choose a 5 for cleanliness just because I often see a full trash container in my fathers' room. And some of the CNA's aren't the most pleasant. Overall though, from the concierge at the front desk to the nurses and activities staff, they are friendly and helpful. My mother is usually attending one activity or another, whether it's an outing to see a local ballet performance, or to do a craft downstairs, or watch a live performer. The residents have access to two floors as well as the patio out back along with the well-groomed grounds. This seems to fall outside what one would typically see at a memory care facility. My father usually stays in his room between meals. We had hoped that my parents could have their rooms combined instead of having two separate rooms. The keys are universal, so normally my father would be able to open my mother's door (she was always losing hers). But I heard that the previous residents family had a different lock placed. So we need to ask staff to open her door. My sister-in-law asked staff to encourage my mother to sleep in her room since she is most likely sleeping much less than my father(he has not been diagnosed with dementia). My parents have had some issues with other residents. Quite a while ago, one of the men was confused and got into my fathers bed at night while my father was sleeping. That didn't go over well with my father. And they have had some things taken from their room by other residents. These issues are common with this population. My mother's wandering had become a big safety issue and now we don't need to worry about that. Both parents have all their needs taken care of and I would highly recommend Artis. It is a safe haven for your loved one whose life will be enriched with engaging activities while ensuring that basic needs/health concerns are ensured.

My poppy has been at artis due to Lewy body dementia. He is in hospice and mostly hard to communicate with. [name removed] has been the only aid able to get him to eat full meals. [name removed] vhas the patience of a saint and a gigantic heart. She will stay in the room with my poppy for an hour if needed to make sure he eats. She listens to make sure he swallows before giving him more food. She changes his position lifting him to make sure he is in a viable position to eat. She lovingly jokes around with him even. She always has a smile on her face.

The facility is pretty and the activities are EXCELLENT. As with any facility there are 2 things to remember 1) The facility is only as good as its staff- which unfortunately can change. Not all staff perform the same. 2) even with the best facilities- it is important to advocate for your loved one. Make sure they are being care of properly - visit at different hours on different days to get a feel for different staff members - ask for what you want (nicely of course). The facility will want to make you and your loved one happy. Live music activities were held often Chef was excellent with coordinating menu and themed events. Salon on premises which always did a nice job with moms hair. Open visiting hours were helpful and you could even schedule private small dinners.

My grandmother is always clean, but does sometimes have other's clothes on when we visit or when we pick her up. I know name labels wash off and she often hides clothes from staff, but still we want to be sure she has the clothes we've given her. Staff are always friendly and listen when we have a question or concern, and they call me when they have a concern, so I'm confident that she is being taken care of when I'm not there. I very rarely detect any odor. There are a nice variety of activities planned , and they encourage my grandmother to participate even when she doesn't understand. As for value for cost we are able to afford it so far with careful planning and the peace of mind has been a great relief, but the cost may be prohibitive for other families.

The caregivers are on the front line and I don't want anyone to get anyone mad at me! Professional staff are absolutely wonderful! Always there to assist with any issues that arise. My Aunt loves to walk around the grounds which was a large part as to why we choose that facility because she has the ability to go outside and wander on the grounds. The facility has a wonderful activity coordinator who keeps the residents engaged. She is very happy living here.

Overall it's been a very good experience and my mom is very happy/content there and she stays busy. She takes advantage of all the activities but I know there are others that don't it are not able to - but for us, it's been great.

I would say our overall experience has been wonderful. It is challenging to navigate, but Artis has been partnered with us along the way and that is so meaningful. Especially since everyone's journey through dementia is different. Also, A Place for Mom is just as amazing. It was such a crazy time trying to figure out what my Dad needed and you all made it as easy as possible. We couldn't have done it without you! Thank you!!

My dad has been doing extremely well and is happy; he smiles like I haven't seen for years; he is cared for by staff like family; when we make suggestions the staff has always been responsive. Artis is his home.

The main reason we chose Artis Senior Living of Evesham was the outdoor area! The staff have also been very good to work with. It is expensive. I do feel like Memory Care costs are high in general in New Jersey.

When it comes to the care services my only issue is that my father is not being shaved every day. For the meals my dad is very picky but they are always willing to make him a grilled cheese. Based on the experience we have had, we would absolutely recommend this community to others

Our family loves Great Falls Assisted Living, Thank you for your help in finding it. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

No matter how wonderful the staff and amenities are, it's just a very expensive cost on the family both financially and emotionally.

I recommend highly and without any reservations. The staff and care partners are kind and caring, the activities are well planned, varied and engaging and the private and public spaces are all clean and bright. The Artis team all get to know their residents and understand who they are as people, and that makes a tremendous difference in the quality of care.

During my first tour I was so amazed at how friendly all the employees were, I actually suspected they had been coached to act friendly when they saw someone on tour. My suspicion was totally unfounded! The staff, from Director to the maintenance personnel, always greet visitors and residents (“neighbors” at Artis) with a smile and a hello. It isn’t long before they all know visitor’s names and who they’re associated with. Beyond friendliness, the staff is very professional. The neighbor’s family is kept aware of issues and reasons to be joyful. Neighbors are actively encouraged to participate in community activities. It isn’t long before they know their favorite and are fully engaged. A particular positive physical feature of Artis is the large outdoor patio that is enjoyed by many of the neighbors and visitors.
