My sincere thanks to Artis management, Beth and all the wonderful staff.

The hospital told me this was the highest‑rated option, and I pushed hard to get her admitted. It is now one of my biggest regrets. From the moment she arrived, I received constant calls -- sometimes every hour -- of her crying hysterically. On her very first day, she called because she had accidentally used the bathroom on herself. With two broken legs, she couldn't get up and didn't even realize it had happened. Instead of helping her, the nurse aide yelled at her and accused her of doing it on purpose. Her roommate confirmed this. I reported it to management, and nothing was done. Soon after, she was placed on a bedpan and left sitting in her own waste for an hour. When I called the front desk to get someone to help her, staff went into her room only to tell her it "hadn't been an hour" and that she "needed a watch" if she wanted to tell time correctly. Again, her roommate confirmed this happened. Another incident: while changing my mother, a nurse pulled on the blanket so hard that she fell onto my mother's roommate. Later, when my mother politely said, "Please be careful, I don't want you to fall," that same nurse claimed she no longer felt "safe" around my mother and refused to care for her at all. I eventually drove 15 hours across the country to see my mother and scheduled a meeting with the case worker/social worker, PT, OT, and nursing staff. By the time I arrived, she had been there two weeks -- and had not received a single bath or shower. During the meeting, the case worker refused to look up from her computer, claiming she was "typing notes," though she was clearly just scrolling. Every concern we raised was dismissed. When I explained that staff were refusing to help my mother, I was told, "Well, she made the nurse uncomfortable." Apparently saying "Please be careful" is now grounds for withholding care. I asked why my mother had a Foley catheter. They said, "She wanted it." Since when is a patient's casual request enough to insert a catheter with no medical basis? I pointed out multiple errors in her chart -- including listing her as stage 4 kidney disease when she is stage 3, and failing to note her stage 4 liver failure. I was told I "misread it." I raised concerns about her worsening tremors and stutter and was told, "Oh, that's her medications, we'll just lower the dose." I also emphasized that I am her next of kin and healthcare POA, yet I had received zero communication. Even after I left, she stayed another month without a single update from staff. In the month and a half she was there, she received one bath. One. She repeatedly told staff that her incision didn't look right and that something felt like it was poking out of her left leg. She was ignored. We later learned that a screw in her leg is literally coming out -- and her incision sites are infected. On multiple occasions, I was on the phone with her when staff brought medications. She would ask if her pain medication was included, and they would say yes. She would check, and it wasn't. When she pointed it out, they would respond, "Oh, I need to see when you last had it." Shouldn't that be checked before handing out medications? My mother was repeatedly spoken to as if she were stupid. I had to remind them that she has worked in healthcare for over 30 years. Every time I filed a grievance, her treatment got slightly worse. Yet when I was physically present, staff tried to paint her as the problem. I know my mother -- she can be a handful -- but when multiple patients report the same issues, there is only one common denominator, and it is not her. I would not trust this facility to care for my sick dog, let alone my mother. I will never allow her to return here.

Wound care not done, medication given incorrectly and not at all sometimes , call bells taking over 45 minutes to respond ( yes, I timed it) Met with management several times and was always told they would retrain staff ( shouldn't they already be trained ?). Repeat issues constantly . Last straw was when my dad was dropped which caused injury involving a hospital stay staffing lied to cover it up . Would not recommend .

My body felt the ick from the cleanliness of the place. 15-minute check-ins were pre-filled out and not actually executed. No one checked on my grandmother even when she buzzed for a nurse to get help to go to the bathroom. On top of that, when my grandma had to get herself to the bathroom alone (which they should be more on top of anyways), she finds someone. else's. blood. covering the shared bathroom TWICE. She notified the workers, and the mess was still not cleaned up for hours on end. Additionally, one worker was rude to her when she expressed her need to go to the bathroom, claiming that if she really needed to go that bad she could walk and do it herself. I would NEVER wish this place upon anyone.

He was a quite person but he met so many wonderful people residents and staff that brought him out of his shell. Bingo, outside trips to restaurants, food shopping and trips to museums, musicals, and boat rides made his day. When he could no longer do activities, the staff was amazing helping him to get around and keeping his spirits up! We as a family had so much support, love, and caring from the staff we felt like family.
