The facility is fabulous. It has an intimate feel and is incredibly clean. The staff is so attentive. Donna Ahearn, Director of Life Enrichment does a INCREDIBLE job keeping the residents engaged. She plans many fun-filled activities for them. For example, she has taken them to a horse ranch. She has guests come to the facility to entertain the residents. Their days are jammed pack with activities. We are so pleased and relieved that we found this place for mom.

I recently toured Artis of Chestnut Ridge for my mother, and I wanted to share what a wonderful experience we had. Rita was incredibly helpful and worked closely with my mother to ensure she felt comfortable, valued, and appreciated. The building itself was exceptionally clean and well-organized, and it was wonderful to see the residents so engaged in activities. The backyard is also beautiful, offering everything from gardening to yard games. Additionally, the front desk team was warm and welcoming, kindly providing us with cake, drinks, and coffee. Thank you all for your hospitality.
