Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Great Falls Memory Care by Artis!
The residents had a visit from a lively and sprite leprechaun who sang songs and told jokes.
They also engaged in a creative shamrock craft and enjoyed a delicious sweet treat that was better than a pot of gold.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

People living with dementia benefit from engagement that respects the full richness of who they are – their curiosity, their history, and their natural desire to explore. Through intentionally designed sensory and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)-based programs at Artis, we tap into universal human impulses: touch, movement, light, sound, building, testing, trying, and creating – helping regulate the nervous system and support emotional well-being.
See how our programs help residents connect, discover, and experience joy in ways that feel natural and purposeful – and learn 10 ways families can incorporate STEM experiences during visits! artisseniorliving.com/blog/how-sensory-stem-play-supports-people-on-the-dementia-journey/
