All the staff are very kind, present themselves well, everyone knows my loved by name and greet him with a smile. The meal choices and different menus for special situations and very good. The meals are very good. The wait service always efficient and kind and helpful. My loved one may sometimes partake in Happy Hour but has not in any other actives but each time I come they have a group class of some sort or a singer or guitar player. The facilities are kept exceptionally well. Location is great across from Stop & Shop and CVS, down the street from Walmart and restaurants. Urgent Care across street. Easy access off of Rte 495.

met with person involved in rentals. Inquired about both Memory Care and Respite Care. Singing concert for residents underway - nice. Dining Room was impressive. Memory Care unit seemed good. Toured an empty room to understand what was provided and what the patient needs to bring. Discussed behavior and how violence or hitting is handled. A little concerned that hitting a caregiver could result in 911 call. Respite Care is 30 day minimum. I will it would allow 2 weeks instead. Met the head of Memory Care who seemed knowledgeable, but had not heard of FTD. Respite Care could probably work for my wife. Memory Care too, altho in the long run a skilled nursing place may be what she needs. Nursing assessment will be needed in any case.

Fantastic facility and people

My father moved into Artisan about two months ago, and the experience so far has been fantastic. The facility is new and always very clean, the people are very caring and attentive, the food in the dining facility is terrific, and the resident units are big and spacious. At this point, I would absolutely rate it a 10 out of 10. My father‘s unit is especially appealing as it has a nice large window and as with all of the units, he really likes the 10 foot high ceilings. All and all it has been a terrific move for my father and I couldn’t be happier with every aspect of Artisan. If only he had moved in sooner!

I recently visited Artisan for my mom and the community really checked every box. She's independent and wants that true independent feel, but for my peace of mind the continuum in same community to assisted living and memory care is so important. The community was vibrant, active and the food was delicious - like a great restaurant. Highly recommend for loved ones of all needs.

Review for Artisan at Hudson

Overall a good experience so far. Food is great, plenty of activities and apartment is more than ample. The in house staff is great. Only issue we've had is in dealing with the business office on a refund due otherwise I would have given the Artisan a 5.

We were very impressed with our visit to Artisan as we considered independent living and memory care for my parents. The community was well integrated among the stages of care. We were most impressed with the memory care program and how the neighborhood was purposefully designed using Teepa Snow’s approach to care for those with dementia. The facility was designed for social engagement and activity and was lively with residence. The team of staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable, and showed respect and care to every resident in the community we saw that day. I would recommend visiting for those looking for warm and inviting “next home”.

Beautiful setting

I visited a friend in her modern and well arranged apartment. There were several windows and the natural light added to the setting. I found the numerous Common areas were inviting as well and people were taking advantage. The Dining area was well maintained, with friendly service and the food was very good. Staff was helpful and my friend has been enjoying her stay. She’s joined a few of the extra curricular activities as well. I would gladly stay at the Artisan when that time comes.

Great Independent Living Facility!

My mom is there for a temporary (we hope) 30 day stay. She’s been at a couple other facilities before this for 20-30 stays and couldn’t stand them. But 20 days into Artisan at Hudson and she couldn’t be happier. She’s treated well by all the staff, and feels like family. They’ve been very attentive to her needs, including dietary restrictions (as best as can be managed). If she needs more than 30 days, no doubt this is where she will be!

Spacious and accommodating

I recently visited my mother after her move into Artisan and enjoyed seeing her happy, comfortable, and thriving! Especially after moving from an uncomfortable rehab situation, we were hesitant however she immediately felt at home and is enjoying the activities and accommodations. This was a great reassurance that we made the right decision trusting Artisan!

Our Family’s Experience with the Artisan

I can’t start this review without noting how helpful “A Place for Mom” was for my family. We wanted to find a place where our once independent family member, who had lost a spouse a year prior, would find more social engagement and activity. This family member was always active, but losing her life partner unexpectedly was a devastating change that affected all aspects of her once active, fulfilling, and busy social life. [name removed]from A Place for Mom spoke at length with me on the phone, asked what I was looking for and the towns I was interested in, and I immediately focused on the Artisan. There was another contender that I intended to investigate, but after stopping into the Artisan on whim as I drove past, I knew immediately it was “the one.” Despite just wanting fliers and more information, I was immediately introduced to [name removed], who was very warm and welcoming. There was zero pressure from her, only sincere, helpful suggestions on how I might proceed. She was instrumental in making me feel less intimidated and scared about the big change of life on the horizon. She had many suggestions that helped us significantly --from how to approach the move with my family member (who was resistant because change is hard) to expectations for the first several days/month/year, to simply letting me know we would be in a partnership to make the move as easy as possible. I scheduled a tour with the family, and the Artisan was extremely accommodating as there were 5 of us. It was a laid back, friendly hour+ where we learned about the activities and offerings, were shown the common areas, and toured many apartments. We ended with dinner, which the Artisan paid for, and it was phenomenal. It is important to note that they do not have cooks, they have CHEFS. The food is outstanding and is part of the monthly fee. We moved my family member into her apartment in June of last year. There was definitely an adjustment, but the Artisan truly stepped up when she was struggling despite her independent living location. They would go to her door to get her for activities so she didn't feel intimidated by going down alone. This is just a minor example of how much they care and how important it is to them that their residents are happy where they live. The staff--from waitstaff to those who work the desk to those who run the activities--are equally as impressive. [name removed] runs the Artisan with the mantra, "You do not work where they live, they live where you work." It is imperative to him that everyone feel comfortable and that there is a sense of home. The people who work there genuinely like what they do and the residents they work with. You can feel the positive energy when you walk through the door because the Artisan is a happy place. [name removed], who works the desk, gives me the best hug every time I see her and truly looks out for my family member. She loves what she does and it shows. There is a vast offering of activities, which was important to us as my family member’s memory was failing due to lack of interaction. While she definitely doesn't take advantage of most of them, she is a regular at daily happy hour, dinner, Bingo, concerts, and movie night. She also loves to sit on the front porch on hot days and to eat on the patio when it’s warm. Another perk to the Artisan is that there is no assigned seating for meals and the waitstaff, who are extremely attentive and kind, do not accept tips no matter how hard you try. So while it has that restaurant feel, it’s still very much like eating at home. We are fortunate that my family member can afford the price of the Artisan but truly feel we are getting what we pay for. We also appreciate that they offer both assisted living and memory care on site, in case either are ever needed. It is an upscale, beautiful facility that is a far cry from the “nursing homes” of the past. This is an active community where residents can be as engaged as they choose to be, with on site daily activities and several monthly field trips. It is a place I could see myself living someday, and that is the best compliment I could give it. My once-resistant family member recently had an appointment with her doctor where she admitted, with another family member present to hear, that she loves living at the Artisan. This family member who had never spent a night without a companion present, who had checked out of life because her best friend was gone, is now living independently and flourishing again. We credit this to the Artisan.

I sleep better knowing Mom is at artisan

My Mom, at 96, is very happy there. Very modern, bright, and well decorated. Facility as has many "independent" living tenants so there is an excellent mix of lifestyles. Local police, fire, and hospital respond very quickly to any urgent care need.

Just Like Family

Artisan at Hudson is small enough so that everyone knows each other while being large enough to provide a multitude of fun activities. The staff genuinely cares about each and every resident and they become an extended part of your family. The facility is always clean; the food is delicious; and everyone is friendly. Moving in isn't downsizing -- it's upsizing!

The staff makes the difference!

From the initial meeting and tour through the re-visits to move in - the caring and engaged staff made this decision easy for my parents. The Director is fully engaged and visible as are the department heads. In turn, their example is emulated by the entire staff and as a result, my parents are not just comfortable but are receiving personalized care. The facility is outstanding and there are similar facilities available but here - the staff makes the difference.

The Road Less Traveled

How people respond to the unexpected is, often, a measure of who they are. Do we become frightened? Do we become anxious? Do we make clear and measured choices based on experience? Getting to that moment when we can no longer deflect or deny that a loved one is on the often dark and disconnected journey of Alzheimer's is one of those moments. We are no longer merely making choices for ourselves. We are deciding the months and years for someone else -- the "other" whose life has been intwined with ours ... whose future we must place in the hands of someone else. Each story of how, in Frost's poetic words, we take "the road less traveled" is different. For those who, at the point of decision are prescient enough to select the care provided by Artisan at Hudson, there emerges a sense of completion; a feeling that this team, this place, this program is going to make the unknowable days ahead better. Competence and compassion are enduring traits of the Artisan team. Rest assured.
