Artis Senior Living of Mason sits in a quiet neighborhood northeast of Cincinnati and is made for people with dementia who need memory care and daily help, and you'll find a purpose-built community on 4.5 acres, with secure outdoor courtyards, walking paths, and over 10,000 square feet of safe indoor space, so folks can explore without getting lost. Residents live in smaller neighborhoods, which helps them feel less overwhelmed and more at ease, and staff members know everyone's preferences, interests, and life history, which helps them offer calm, person-centered care every day. Trained caregivers and nurses, along with a doctor on call, watch over the community day and night, and emergency call systems in every suite let residents get help quickly when they need it. The staff uses safety technology, like bracelets, to keep wanderers from leaving the grounds, and they welcome people with complicated needs, including those who might wander or display difficult behaviors, and they know how to help people who struggle with physical or behavioral challenges.
People with diabetes, both Type 1 and 2, can get help with blood sugar checks and medication-though the staff can't do insulin injections-and those with incontinence get discreet care right in their suites, even for total support. Rooms are private or shared, with large windows for sunlight, individual controls for heating and cooling, and barrier-free bathrooms with grab bars, making it easier for folks with mobility concerns or who use wheelchairs, and the community's low aide-to-resident ratio gives each person more personal attention. The Artis Way, their core way of working, means they develop a custom care plan for each resident, involving that person, their family, and their doctor, and they try to honor each person's past while making today as good as it can be. They help with bathing, grooming, dressing, and moving around, provide medication reminders, and even manage complex medication schedules for people who take lots of pills and vitamins.
Daily routines are important here, so there's a set rhythm that includes three dietitian-approved meals and snacks, served with family-style dining, and residents can even help pick recipes through "Time to Dish" so meals feel familiar and enjoyable, and they offer all sorts of special diets for people who need less sugar, no gluten, or other changes, and you'll find both vegan and regular menus on hand. Memory care programs use art, music, reminiscence activities, sensory exercises, and brain games to keep minds active, and there's a full-time activity director planning music, storytelling, craft workshops in the arts studio, group fitness in the wellness center, pet therapy, faith services, and even building projects in the workshop or creating a children's library. The Town Center brings people together for gatherings, live music, celebrations, and parties, and they host intergenerational visits with kids and trips to places like Kings Island, local churches, or the mall.
Residents can walk outside safely in the gardens, relax in sun-filled lounges, visit the game room and library, or get their hair done in the salon or barbershop, and you'll see staff encourage residents-no matter their ability-to join in, stay active, and find purpose. People who move in for short stays, often for respite, get access to all the same services, and the staff keeps families updated with regular meetings, support groups, and a dedicated director for community data. There's weekly cleaning, laundry, transportation for doctor appointments and outings, 24-hour supervision, and health monitoring by licensed nurses. Residents can bring their own furniture, keepsakes, and photographs to make their room feel like home, and each area uses calm colors and soft furniture for comfort.
Artis Senior Living of Mason only admits people who need memory care or some assisted living support, and they have a separate building for people living with Alzheimer's or more serious kinds of dementia, and they're able to care for people who need mobility lifts or two-person transfers. Care fees depend on needs, and there are extra charges for greater care or respite stays, with studio room rates averaging $5,895 per month. The staff knows how to help people with brain changes live with dignity, and they focus on helping each resident stay connected, feel valued, and find moments of joy throughout their days. The facility welcomes pets, has Wi-Fi, easy access for people using wheelchairs, and offers hospice when needed, so folks can stay in one place even as their needs change, and it's just minutes from top hospitals, shopping, and local attractions like the tennis center and amusement park.
