Artis Senior Living of Huntingdon Valley sits on 4.4 acres overlooking the Pennypack Trust, with secure indoor spaces and quiet outdoor paths where folks can get fresh air, and you'll see the whole place is designed for people with Alzheimer's and dementia. This community has four distinct neighborhoods to help people feel at home and safe, and each private suite has a little display case by the door for mementos and photos, which helps residents hold on to important memories while they settle into daily routines. The staff includes licensed nurses on site around the clock and a team trained in dementia care, and they offer both assisted living and memory care options, so some people get help with bathing, meals, medication, or mobility, while others take part in programs made to strengthen their memory and mental skills.
A key part of life at Artis Senior Living is the "Honoring Yesterday, Celebrating Today" program, which tries to connect residents' past and present lives and encourage purpose and joy. Residents here always find activities going on, from resident-run events to staff-led enrichment programs, with more than eight scheduled throughout the day, whether it's in the common areas, gardens, library, beauty salon, or the lively town center where folks can gather for meals, wellness activities, and entertainment. The buildings themselves have safety and accessibility features, including 24-hour call systems and layouts that prevent wandering and make finding your way easier.
The community handles meal preparation with restaurant-style dining, providing special diets like diabetes-friendly meals when needed, and does housekeeping and linen service so residents can spend their energy on things they enjoy. For those who need it, there's arranged transportation for errands or appointments, and services like medication management, caregiving, and even help coordinating with medical alert systems and family. The campus offers pet-friendly rooms that come in different floor plans, including studios and one-bedroom units, some are semi-private, and they're all set up to be comfortable and easy to get around even if you use a wheelchair or walker. Wi-Fi and senior-friendly cell phone options help people stay connected, and extra touches like hearing aid resources and home security features are available. Artis Senior Living focuses on bridging lifelong identity with current abilities, using specialized programming to make each day meaningful, and everything is set up to foster human connection and reduce confusion, with a holistic approach that looks out for mind, body, and spirit.
