Rohan is always smiling or singing. That makes Artis more enjoyable knowing that it's not a sad place to be. Also Jackie is so friendly and wanting to know if she can do something for you. I look forward to my visits with my neighbor knowing everyone is there.

The difference in my sister from her previous placement is night and day. She is more calm, at peace and nothing but smiles. From the initial evaluation to the move in process, it was professional, smooth, and we felt very supported. The staff here take an interest in the people that we did not see at the previous place. We are very happy and grateful to all of the staff here.
