Artis Senior Living of Lakeview

My wife and ended up having to do basically all of her father's showering and hygiene care for 8 months. There was some progress last month. We both regularly wipe urine from the bathroom floor, clean a filthy toilet seat, and return dishes and food from in-room meals to the kitchen. We did not expect to have to do this. We picked Aryis because it was new, 4 miles from our house, and in our price range.

It's a good value for money (although they're raising rent 8% next year)- the staff are friendly and care about the residents' well being. They were already my top choice due to their activities calendar (they had lots of options I thought my family member would like), and were also one of the most convenient locations and in our price range, but the admins went above and beyond to help us get my family member here and safe. We had a difficult situation involving an imminent out-of-state hospital discharge with shifting goalposts/timeframes, a dementia diagnosis, and a move from another state. They were the only place that was able to accommodate a short-term stay on very short notice while my family member's condition stabilized, and I was very happy to be able to move them in permanently at the end of the short-term stay.

People/ friends have asked me.... I said it was " great"...I like this area! I like the LakeView area.

We picked this community, because the location is close to me. I'm mad that the rent goes up every 5-6 months. Family should be careful because they raised the prices almost immediately after my loved one moved in with 30 day notice.

We chose Artis Senior Living of Lakeview because the price was affordable, the building was relatively new, and the staff and residents were smiling. When you go to visit, everyone is smiling and that is what sticks out most.

This is a great community. The community and staff feel it is the residents' home and treat it as such. Everything is nice and neat. There is laundry service that is included for the residents. The community smells wonderful. They welcome visitors and have family events we are able to attend. The staff communication with the family is great! They are responsive to our questions in person, via email or phone. This is a huge plus for us. There are there are three meals a day. There is a menu for the residents to choose three options from. If the residents doesn't care for the items offered the residents can choose a standby option. There is a full kitchen if the residents would like to fix some themselves as well.

Everything has been great so far, the only complaint is that they do not provide rides to Dr. appointments .

My mom who's in their memory care has been very happy here. They have always been very accommodating to things she needs and helpful in suggestions on how to help make her more comfortable. I feel very supported at Artis. Some of their activities include group classes and outings. With memory care, my mom doesn't enjoy some of the activities because she feels everyone gets too wild, but she does really enjoy the outings. She gets to go out and see the city. Simple things like going to McDonald's, is very enjoyable to her. They have sing-a-longs, music, and exercise classes. Those are not so much up my moms alley. She mostly she likes to socialize, so anything that allows her to socialize and do the activity is great, but not so much when the main focus is the activity. Overall, I would recommend Artis Senior Living of Lakeview to others!

I toured this community and it was very nice. The rooms are a lot smaller than some of the other places we toured. The activities also didn't seem as robust. Overall, a nice place but not quite what we were looking for.

We have had, an amazing interaction with the staff. The food is really great. I have actually tried it myself, and it's good. I would say, that everyone from the executive director, to the nurses,-assistants, and cooks are very genuine people. Overall, they are definitely loving, and very friendly people. I have not met anyone, that I didn't like.

We love it. So does my mom. I would highly recommend it. Many of the problem seem to have come from the pandemic and the newness of the place.

We really like that the billing system is the exact same every month, there is not nickel and dime situation. We really appreciate that they come to our loved one everyday and ask them what they want to it, and if our loved one does not like something they actually notice and fix it so we like how attentive they are. Based on our overall experience so far we would recommend the Artis community to other families.

Our friend at Artis Senior living just thinks its utterly terrific. She likes the structure, the food and the staff seem to be very pleasant. She has a great sense of security and they have just enough activities to fulfil her.

The administrators are very good; however, there are a couple of the direct caregivers were complaining about the care that was needed for a friend on a specific day. The community was short staffed on this day. Most of the time they are very friendly. The community doesn't mix floors between the assisted living and memory care during COVID. There are different levels of care that is provided in the memory care unit. In my research this was the best place in Chicago, they finally got their SAGE certificate. They were willing to work with me in getting my friend into the community. There were times that they will cook for the guests and it has been pretty good. There are times that the food wasn't as good of quality as they serve to visitors. The community has let me know that they are not able to use a lot of spices in the food. Artis is very good at communicating with me in any changes in my friend's needs.

This was a nice community, and they had a gym and more. I wouldn't mind going here if it was me. But for my loved one another community worked better.

Artis Senior Living is a newer community, so it is very nice and the cleanliness of community is excellent. We watch the staff members interact with the residents and our loved one and they do a great job. The meals are great, they bake cookies, they have cook outs, so the meals and dining service is great. The activities are really nice and have a lot of opportunities to participate in. The value for cost is really good for our family, and it has worked out great. It is all one pricing, not dealing with different variable where your confused on one where the price came from.

Did a tour. Staff seem very capable and caring. The facility is beautiful and meets so many needs!

After my amazing mother had a life-changing accident, I knew she could not live on her own ever again and Artis was the solution. The facility is beautiful and the staff truly care about Mom. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her care and the directors and staff I correspond with.

I work in the healthcare industry and have had great experiences with Artis Senior Living of Lakeview! The staff is wonderful and always willing to help residents with anything they need. Highly recommend.

The rooms at the community are relatively small, however they are updated and all of them have nice windows. Our loved one is in memory care so the room size is perfect for him.
