Artis Senior Living of Lakeview

Artis of Lakeview is absolutely awful. Terrible management, terrible food, no engagement or activities for the residents. The rent was raised 30% and more and more things were taken away. Residents sit around and do nothing. Staff could not care any less. Incredibly high staff turnover. Wish I don’t have to give them even 1 star. Truly awful place, don’t be deceived by how pretty it looks. It’s bad in every way.

I am grateful for Kelly, Wally, and Maria at the front desk. They always make me feel welcome when I arrive at Artis. Kudos to Ronnie for always responding quickly to building maintenance concerns. Andres is a fantastic chef. Ryan works hard and cares. Karen and Colleen enjoy serving us in the Dugout. They are joyful people who treat everyone with respect. Mary does too. 5/8/24 Shout out to Brenda and Asia for going the extra mile with my Dad. Thanks for your hard work. I appreciate you!

My mom was in need of a temporary memory care facility for a few months and Elderwerks referred us to Artis Senior Living as a place we would like. Patti, Amber, and Natasha made us feel so welcome and they took care of getting mom in there very quickly. Once there, the facilities are so nice and clean, there are so many things for residents to do, and the food is great! Just getting to the front desk will make you feel welcome regardless of who is there. Then, once you get to her floor, the nursing staff and care partners are amazing. Even when mom was having a tough time, she was always treated with kindness, patience, and respect and we were so appreciative. There was not one staff member who did not show that level of care. My only issue was that mom's time there was too short.

This is a very nice place. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. A luxurious feel with happy tenants. Also, the staff was very friendly and professional. Our host for the tour was Emily Waxenfelter. She was very lovely and passionate about taking care of others. Knowledgeable and proactive. I spoke with her over the phone to set up a tour, and she followed up with all the necessary details to welcome us in. I mentioned that my father was a veteran, and she proactively provided us with further information that was tailored to his needs. It was an awesome first experience for my father. Thank you Artis for setting the bar high with our search for a home. I'll be glad to follow up with another review if we commit to moving into Artis. Thanks for reading!

This was my mom's first Thanksgiving at Artis. The shared professional kitchens at the end of each floor hallway are perfect to gather and prepare just about anything, but this year we brought in our own precooked turkey and fixings. I probably should have scheduled ahead with staff but they were super helpful with our event and helped with cleanup. It was nice having my moms neighbors pop in and out to join us, what a super fun time, I love Artis. Thanks again to the staff 4th Floor South and everywhere else today!

Everyone at Artis is loving, kind and patient! When I visit my father, everyone I encounter from front desk staff, administration, care partners, marketing staff, nursing staff, life enrichment staff, cooks, housekeeping and maintenance are wonderful to my dad and to me. There's not a bad one in the bunch. Artis is a happy place and it feels good to go there.

This review is being provided on behalf of my parents Alvin and Barbara Cassel. Here are their words: My wife and I would like to give a Big Praise Shout Out to Eisha Banks! Eisha is a very friendly, kind-hearted, compassionate, and dedicated caregiver to our niece, Verlyn/Cookie. In big ways and small ways, Eisha makes all the difference. As guardians from Ohio, it gives us great comfort to know that our niece is being well cared for. Greatly appreciated, Alvin and Barbara Cassel

I had the pleasure of visiting a truly delightful establishment where I had the opportunity to meet Latoya Brown. She exudes a remarkable sense of fashion, evident in how she complimented my shoes, which happened to be the exact same pair she was wearing (Tory Burch). I was pleasantly surprised by her exceptional level of customer service. Engaging in conversation with her about fashion was an absolute delight. It is truly refreshing to be in the presence of someone who not only excels in providing outstanding customer service but also possesses impeccable fashion sense. Having Latoya at the front desk on a Saturday afternoon is undoubtedly a testament to her remarkable abilities in both areas.

My mother is very well taken care of at Artis, and I have peace of mind knowing that she is safe and happy there. Everyone is so good there, and so friendly and helpful. But I want to call out one special person, Julie. She is a caregiver on their 5th floor, and is so wonderful and thoughtful and helpful to mom. She is fantastic! Thank you Julie and everyone!

Chef Andres at Lakeview showcased his remarkable talents by helping two of our residents celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary in a memorable way. During a conversation, the wife of the couple shared with Andres how they used to celebrate their anniversary by having a lobster dinner together. Andres took it upon himself to make it a reality, and the couple enjoyed a delicious meal of lobster, grilled vegetables, and their favorite dessert, carrot cake on their special day.

I had the opportunity to visit Artis Senior living during a Meet and Greet with their team and I was so impressed by everything. The event was lovely and the items they served were delicious. Their chef knows what he is doing! Everyone was friendly and the community was beautiful. I've been in communities visiting before and they were nice but Artis felt like a home with family. I'll be coming back for more visits!

Without the over whelming support and guidance from Cheryl Peneschi, their Director of Health and Wellness, I was able to admit my loved one. Without it I was lost. She's great asset to ARTIS.

My Dad "Mr. Ed" loved living at Artis Senior Living in Lakeview! The living, gathering and dining, and outdoor spaces are beautiful. The entire building was always so clean and well-maintained. He loved the 5th floor garden room, views of the city, fresh flowers and upscale decor. The level of care he received was exceptional. Dad always felt loved, connected with many of the other residents he considered friends, and well cared for. The Care Partners created a special bond with my Dad and he delighted in their warm kindness, and gentle caring ways, and felt a kinship with many. Artis truly felt like home for him and seemed like a second family to him. He enjoyed activities throughout each week including movies, classical music and singing, poetry writing class, daily Happy Hours with others, occasional outings, and hours on the patio. Dad even served as Ambassador for a year welcoming other residents and new staff! BBQs and special celebrations were such a nice way for families to gather together too! The food was always tasty, lots of variety and choices (even honor special requests, and certain dietary requirements), and he enjoyed dining together with other residents as well as the option to dine in his room when he wasn't feeling up to going out. We had looked at several Senior Assisted Living communities that offered Assisted Living arrangement before choosing Artis. He had a comfy 1 bedroom with a den and small kitchenette, that was lovely and just the right size. I know it was the right choice for home for him to spend his final 2 years of life. I always felt welcomed and part of the Artis family too. In his final days under hospice care at Artis, his care givers were so sweet and helped Dad and our family say goodbye in a peaceful and dignified way. I would highly recommend Artis Lakeview for anyone considering a final home for a loved one needing Assisted Living.

Within the first hour of my interview with Artis Senior Living of Lakeview, I knew it would be our choice as the new home for my Aunt. Intelligent, warm, caring and resourceful, the staff has more than fulfilled our expectations. My Aunt is thriving, has a number of new friends and participates in her preferred activities. She loves the food! We are welcome any time and visit often.

They've been very helpful in my mother's transition to assisted living from her own house. We especially love her nurses Carolyn and Brenda. We really can tell they go beyond any job requirements and truly care. Definitely check them out if you are looking for help for an aging relative.

My review is about the Memory Care facility at Artis Lakeview, where my husband has been a resident for the past six months. In many ways, Artis saved his life...and mine. Suffering from dementia and delusions, he had fallen often and was unsafe in our home. From the day he arrived in a wheelchair until today when he walks easily with a walker, he has always been well cared for. He is healthier, he is safe, and he has never fallen again. Because it is easy for me to visit at all different times on different days, I can honestly say that each time I visit, everyone who works there is caring, helpful, and friendly. Since I was able to decorate his room with treasured mementos, he has always felt at home in his spacious, light-filled space. When I have needed help from the medical staff, they have been sensitive and quick to respond. However, it is the small things that always make a relationship special. One day a staffer noticed pictures taped up in his room from our grandchildren and asked him if he wanted a bulletin board to display them. A few weeks later, they were delivered and installed. I still do not even know who to thank! I am so grateful to them for responding with something that made him so happy. And that is very important to both of us.

I toured several Assisted Living facilities prior to moving my mom into Artis Lakeview. I saw several nice places, all advertising top notch food and various levels of potential activities for their residents. Our family initially chose Artis Lakeview for three reasons: 1) it was strongly recommended by a fairly 'particular' friend of mine 2) its location 3) its very clean, newer and well designed - as previous reviewers have commented, many of its physical features resemble a high end hotel. She moved in four months ago. The thing that I could not anticipate when I was comparing facilities was just how fantastic her Care Partners have helped her transition from having lived independently at home for the last 15 years to her 'new routines' at Artis. For the uninitiated, 'routines' and 'proper procedures' are very important to many older folks - my mom included. Personally, both her and I were concerned how she was going to transition to a new way of doing things. The impressive thing to me was that none of these concerns or my mom's initial resistance to new routines were of concern of her Care Partners. Her Care Partners, both the long time employees and the newly hired, all gracefully allowed my mom to adjust at her own pace - which ultimately resulted in a quicker adjustment period than I thought possible. For those of you weighing your options, you should know that there is a culture of caring here that is unique. As much as it is impossible to assess this culture when taking their standard tour - which will focus on room size, views, food, are over-all care. I spend a fair amount of time in the facility - I live close to the building, so its easy for me to pop in. During these short visits, I have seen repeated interactions between Artis' staff and residents that demonstrate a remarkably high level of care being administered at this facility. It's clear its more than a job for a lot of Artis' Care Partners - its a culture of doing a hard, demanding, sometimes mundane, and many times unappreciated really, really, well.

I'm happy with the care my loved one is receiving and the facility is close to my home. I think it's important that families know that after just a few months rent went up $400 and less than 6 months later it went up another $500. So $900 on one year.

Our mother has been at Artis for over a year, first in Assisted Living and now Memory Care. We are so fortunate to have the caring people at Artis looking after her. I highly recommend Artis Senior Living for anyone who wants a skilled, responsive and homelike facility for themselves or their loved ones.

We had a great experience at Artis of Lakeview. Not only is it a new and an inviting environment, the Artis team was my partner from the start. They all helped transition my mother to her new place. Each floor is made up of smaller communities that people with dementia can manage more easily and not be overwhelmed. This really worked for my mom. She was comfortable there from the start, and that had not happened at her previous 2 places. I will be forever grateful to the team at Lakeview Artis. They made all of our lives better and allowed me to worry less.

I have experienced my share of senior living facilities over the past eight years, therefore. my testaments are firsthand. Let me say with sincere appreciation that every staff member I have interacted with since July 24, 2020 has been extremely attentive to my mothers needs. They have also considered my needs in the process. Any job in the healthcare industry is extremely difficult. And, to have the extra challenge of COVID-19, can truly be taxing on the most experienced person. What I have discovered is that each individual at the Artis works from their heart! The qualities of empathy and compassion are qualities that cannot be taught to people in the=at industry. They either demonstrate they have it by way of their actions or they dont, also by way of their lack of actions. There is also a maturity that each person at the Artis has demonstrated. I truly appreciate that quality in people, both in leadership and the employees whom they support and who support them. My mother and I are happy at the Artis!

My parent has been a resident at Artis Lake for 6 months in Assisted Living and has cognitive, memory impairment. The Artis staff has been exceptional - caring, attentive, personalized care. They have a fantastic social worker on staff. They kept families fully informed as the pandemic came to IL. And they have taken amazing steps to protect staff and residents from Covid 19. It is a very attractive space--both individual units and the common areas, patio, etc. Most of all, I am impressed by the quality of care--from everyone on the team - nursing, care givers, maintenance, administrators, etc. Everyone really works together. And they really understand memory problems and how to help residents live with dignity and as much independence as possible. I can tell they really care about my mom and know her well--her personality, strengths, challenges, etc.

I could not be happier or more impressed with Artis of Lakeview. My mother has lived there for the last year and has received extraordinary care. She had lived in two prior facilities and neither comes close to being as good as Artis. While the physical aspects of Artis of Lakeview are gorgeous (sparkling clean, light and sunny, beautifully decorated), its the attention and support that my mother (and I!) get from the staff that is so amazing. They communicate well and often, listen to my mothers needs, understand her unique personality, and are always professional, caring, and empathetic. I know the Artis Care Partners truly love my mom. The way they have managed through the Coronavirus pandemic has been exemplary. Because of them my mother is happy, safe, and thriving. I am grateful every day that my mother is at Artis-Lakeview.
