Artis Senior Living of Lexington is a dedicated memory care community equipped to support residents with all stages of dementia, including advanced conditions. Care teams are trained to manage behaviors such as wandering, elopement risk, nighttime wakefulness, and other challenging symptoms. Residents under 60 years old, individuals on special diets, and diabetics managed with oral medications can be accommodated. Personalized programs focus on cognitive engagement while maintaining strict oversight for safety.
Around-the-clock nursing coverage includes an on-site RN/LPN during the day and a nurse on call at all times. Night staff remain awake, doors are alarmed, the rear grounds are fenced, and both pull cords and PERS devices alert staff instantly. Regular background checks are performed on all employees. Physicians and clinicians visit the community for podiatry, audiology, dentistry, optometry, and therapy services, and there is a dedicated therapy room for physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and staff can provide standby, one-person, walker, or wheelchair transfers as needed.
Apartments feature private bathrooms and come furnished, with housekeeping and scheduled laundry services included. Not every residence offers each of these features, so families should confirm specific room configurations during a visit.
Meals follow a set menu with options for vegetarian dishes and doctor-ordered diet modifications, including diabetic and other special diets. Snacks are available throughout the day, and there is a private dining room for family visits or special occasions.
Residents have access to wheelchair-friendly common areas, a barber and beauty salon, internet connectivity, a library, on-site religious services, concierge assistance, and scheduled group outings. Transportation is arranged for medical appointments and community activities, and a transition specialist is available to guide families through move-in and ongoing care planning.
