Artis of Somers is dedicated exclusively to Memory Care, supporting residents who live with varying stages of dementia, including advanced conditions. The care team is trained to manage common memory-related challenges such as wandering (morning or evening), elopement risk, behavioral fluctuations, and residents who stay awake at night. Clinical oversight extends to oxygen therapy, special-diet monitoring, and comprehensive diabetes management—whether oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin are required.
Daily operations are reinforced by a strong clinical and safety net. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on duty around the clock, with additional nursing coverage available 24/7. Team members undergo background checks, an awake night shift monitors every wing, and electronic security includes door alarms, perimeter fencing, pull-cord call systems, and PERS devices that alert staff. On-site podiatry is available, and the community accepts residents with co-existing psychiatric diagnoses. Full assistance can be provided with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility aid ranges from standby help for walkers to one- and two-person transfers, wheelchair support, and care for individuals who are bed-bound.
Residences at Artis of Somers are offered in several layouts, some featuring private bathrooms, furnished setups, individual climate controls, cable service, and the option to personalize wall colors or décor. Because floor plans vary, not all suites include every feature. Dining is made to order, with all-day snacks and individualized menu modifications for medical or cultural diets, ensuring that calorie counts, textures, and nutritional goals are met. Independent-living residents on campus can enroll in medication-management monitoring to help them safely self-administer prescriptions while maintaining a higher level of autonomy.
Meals are cooked on site, ordered as needed, and adjusted to comply with physician-directed diet plans such as low-sugar or low-sodium options. Staff members oversee intake for residents who require hands-on assistance or monitoring, documenting nutrition and hydration levels for ongoing care planning.
The community is fully wheelchair-accessible and offers practical extras such as an in-house barber and beauty salon, a dedicated movie room for group screenings, a wellness center for exercise or therapy sessions, and communal gardens that provide a secure outdoor option for walking or relaxation. Scheduled transportation connects residents to local medical appointments, shopping, and community events, with staff accompaniment arranged as care plans dictate.
