Artis Senior Living of Lexington

Artis Senior Living of Lexington sits in a quiet residential neighborhood near the corner of Concord Ave and Waltham St., right off Route 2, with scenic views of Hardy's Pond Brook, and the place has over 10,000 square feet of secure indoor space designed for senior living and dementia care. The layout feels community-focused, with both indoor and outdoor common areas, and a lovely courtyard for visits and fresh air, so residents can spend time outside if they want. Artis Senior Living follows "The Artis Way," a care philosophy that emphasizes honoring each resident's personal history and supporting independence, while providing the help folks need. The staff builds individualized care plans by working with residents, families, doctors, and care partners-families often say the staff are attentive, kind, and easy to talk to. Residents get help from 24-hour licensed nurses and dementia-trained associates, and the design of the building is made to give people living with Alzheimer's or related forms of dementia a safe yet flexible environment, where doors and pathways help prevent confusion but never feel locked in. The memory care program provides specialized activities that help with thinking skills and social engagement, and the staff work hard to make each day meaningful by focusing on interests, history, and personal qualities of each resident. There's a Director of the Artis Way Experience, a Director of Health and Wellness, a Director of Community Integration, and others who oversee everything from social programs to meals and wellness checks, all of them aiming for peace, positivity, and connection. If residents need assisted living, the care is discreet but always available, and memory care includes structure but also an effort to encourage purpose and belonging. The activities are planned to keep folks active, offering both onsite and offsite events, clubs, music, crafts, and educational sessions, plus a regular social dining experience, and there's an article library, FAQ, and financial resources to help families navigate questions. The kitchen staff-from the Director of Culinary Services-prepare meals with attention to taste, nutrition, and personal needs. Residents can visit the on-site beautician, join small group activities, participate in community events, or simply spend quiet time among friends. The community tries to make a bridge between each resident's past and their current daily life, celebrating small moments, while supporting health, cognitive strength, and overall well-being. The site stays open 24 hours, the team's always close by, and many say the staff's warmth and positive outlook make everyday life feel stable and friendly, rather than rushed or impersonal. The goal seems to be fostering independence and inspiration but with as much help as needed for safety, dignity, and comfort.
