Artis Senior Living

What Artis Senior Living does

Artis Senior Living is a privately held developer-owner-operator of memory care and assisted living residential communities, founded in 2012 by the Bainum family and headquartered in McLean, Virginia. The company operates 26 communities across 11 U.S. states, with the majority dedicated to caring for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Its core service offering is residential memory care, supplemented by assisted living, chef-prepared culinary services, life enrichment programming (including its Power of Play outdoor engagement program), community design features such as secure walking trails, and family-facing resources including transition coordinators and a financial solutions guide. Two generations of the Bainum family remain active in company oversight.

The company's care philosophy, branded as The Artis Way, centers on purpose, belonging, and joy, and is operationalized through low Care Partner turnover, dedicated two-day resident onboarding, and purpose-built community layouts designed as small, homelike environments rather than large institutional facilities. Artis is Great Place to Work Certified through April 2026, reinforcing its positioning as an employer of choice in a high-turnover industry. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, relying on family referrals, community tours, content marketing, and organic social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube) to drive resident placements.

Artis generates revenue through monthly recurring residential fees covering housing, meals, personal care, life enrichment, and 24-hour support. It has no disclosed institutional investors, no M&A activity, no public listing, and no disclosed revenue figures. A $40 million funding event was recorded in May 2023 (investors undisclosed). With 1,001-5,000 employees and 5,196+ cumulative residents served over 12+ years of operation, Artis operates as a mid-scale, family-controlled platform within a highly fragmented U.S. assisted living market of approximately 28,900 facilities and an addressable market estimated at $98.6 billion in 2023, growing to $151.4 billion by 2031.
