"An absolute nightmare and I would not recommend to anyone whose loved one needs memory care and has issues with daily living tasks like toileting. My mother stayed there from November 2021 until February 2023. We were promised the world when given a tour - the best food, best care, night motion detectors in case they get up at night, call button watches in case they need help, the works! Everything ended up being a catastrophic failure which was a combination of lack of empathy staff turnover, overpromising, and lack of problem solving from upper management. Food portions were really small if you didnt make it to the dining room, and if you didnt the food would be left alone in the room despite my Mom not being able to feed herself appropriately. 2-3 hours to answer the call buttons on her wrist watch or bathroom wall. Medication reconciliation issues galore. Motion night detectors were never a thing. I cant express how sad I felt seeing my mom there" - Shawn…

"Not the best. Always a high turnover in staff. My Mom and other patients wait forever to order their food and then even longer to get it and get the correct order. The staff pretends to be friendly but beneath that phony exterior they just want to get the heck out of there as soon as possible. It's just a job to them. I'm told they blame "corporate" for everything. What does "corporate" know about Illinois when they're located in Colorado. If you want your parent's freedom taken away and be told what to do like little children than this is for them." - R…

"What a wonderful experience we had at this lovely place! The atmosphere is so warm and inviting—it really feels luxurious, and you can tell the tenants are happy. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, which made our visit all the more enjoyable. Our tour guide, Emily Waxenfelter, was just fantastic! She was not only charming but also truly passionate about her work. From our very first phone call to set up the tour, she made sure we had all the details we needed. I mentioned that my father is a veteran, and Emily went above and beyond to provide tailored information that would meet his needs. My father had an amazing first experience, and it really set a high standard for our search for a new home. I’m grateful to Artis for making this such a positive outing for us! If we decide to make the move, I’d be more than happy to share another review. Thanks for reading, everyone!" - Jill…
