Artis Senior Living of Princeton Junction

Artis Senior Living of Princeton Junction, NJ, is the memory care residence of choice for seniors in West Windsor Township. Our philosophy embraces positive partnerships that customize care programs to specifically address the needs and wishes of every Artis resident.

The roots of Artis Senior Living can be traced back to the late 1950’s, when Stewart Bainum, Sr., opened and operated some of the first senior living residences in the U.S. Nearly sixty years later, three generations of the Bainum family remain active in senior care through Artis.

There are currently over 30 Artis residences operating or in development across the country, each one exclusively devoted to seniors with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Artis is founded on a deep belief that effective memory care depends on positive partnerships and two-way communication. Through our mission of compassionate, individualized care, our associates, residents, and their families unite to create a haven of dignity, empowerment, wellbeing, and comfort.

We believe two-way communication between care partners and residents is the key to upholding and sustaining the dignity and comfort all residents deserve. At Artis, we strive to empower everyone in our community to exercise a voice in their own wellbeing.

Artis Senior Living is a two-story memory care community. Each neighborhood has its own distinctive décor, to facilitate easy recognition and navigation. Within every neighborhood is a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, access to private outdoor courtyards, and individual memory care suites. Common living spaces are smaller scale, with residential finishes that make one feel at home. The Town Center is a place to gather, to create, and to socialize. Artis Senior Living has both quiet and lively spaces, as the moment requires.

Our associates have decades of collective experience in senior and memory care. Many of our care partners have personal knowledge of the complexities of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, from their own family history. We are grateful for an Artis team of associates that can translate empathy and experience to the highest level of memory care.

Artis Senior Living of Princeton Junction is designed to make residents feel right at home. Neighborhoods offer visual cues to foster recognition and ease navigation. Beautifully landscaped courtyards are resident-safe, so people may stroll the paths freely. Nutritious, delicious meals are served family style in neighborhood dining rooms. A short trip to the Town Center puts a full menu of resources at residents’ fingertips, including an apothecary center and beauty salon/barbershop.

Customized memory care begins with a good relationship. Associates strive to build two-way communication with residents that helps zone in on precisely what services residents need to feel their best. Partner Profiles and resident, associate, and family councils are tools that empower residents to participate in their own care. Artis pioneered the role of Director of the Artis Way Experience to establish a point person for matching residents to resources.

Residents are encouraged to participate in the community at large through programs such as the Community Assistance Network, which offers service opportunities such as writing letters to veterans or making wreaths for new Habitat for Humanity homes. Town Hall Meetings invite residents to add their voice to community discussions, while Time to Dish seeks input on menu options. There is always an activity to join, whether it is an exercise class, or a barbershop conversation.

Contemporary research indicates that the Mediterranean diet may help prevent and slow the progression of Alzheimer’s and memory loss diseases. That is why we’ve chosen to incorporate these practices in our recipes and food preparation in order to provide a holistic, caring approach to dining at Artis.
