I have partnered, professionally, with Artis of Princeton Junction for several years and have always been impressed with the staff at the community. They truly care about their residents and have created a warm and loving environment that is noticeable in the interactions between staff and residents. I feel comfortable referring those I support to this community and have, in fact, recommended it to family.

5 stars to Nikki and her staff, how amazing they are for bringing in such wonderful activities to the residents, and providing them with the ability to socialize and remain active in so many different ways. Dementia is so difficult, and at Artis, I always know my mom is not sitting alone, but rather, always around people who care❤️.
They really understand the special needs of folks that have memory care needs. There are many different types of brain disorders and each requires special attention. The staff here addresses every resident based on their diagnosis, age, physical need, etc. No cookie cutters here. I entertain at numerous communities in NJ, and I can see that Artis has the right staff and focus to really help both the resident, family and friends. Even detail like the layout of the building reduces confusion. My mom had dementia. She was not local to Princeton, but if she was, she would have benefited from the care offered by Artis.
My Mother has been a resident at Artis for nearly 2 months now. She is happy, and thriving. She consistently states how much she likes it and how nice everyone is and I agree with her 100000%. From the moment you walk through the front door you are greeted with a smiling face, and a warm hello. The facility is very clean as is her room. The rooms do not feel like hospital rooms it’s an actual “apartment” as my mom would call it which makes her feel at home. Kelly, the director of life enrichment plans fun activities throughout the day that I have been able to join in as well during my visits. Having my Mom at Artis was the best decision. The activities staff are wonderful, the staff caring for my mother are patient, kind and delightful to be around. My mother is in the absolute best care and I couldn’t be more at ease and comforted knowing this. Clean facility, friendly staff, and a lot of activities to keep them active is exactly where I wanted her to be and we found it at Artis. We are very happy with the decision we made!
My father is happy at Artis. His care partners, Lergenie and Nicole have an innate ability to form strong compassionate connections with all of their residents, treating each one with the love, respect and attention they deserve. Their commitment to ensuring their safety and well-being are evident in everything they do. They advocate for their residents to make sure their voices are heard and their needs are met. Kelly, the events coordinator is absolutely exceptional. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and it’s clear she loves what she does. Kelly truly cares about every resident she works with, always bringing optimism, fun, and a positive attitude to every event. No matter the task, she is always willing to lend a hand, even when it’s outside her responsibility. It’s rare to find caregivers so dedicated and passionate about their work.
