It’s World Kindness day, and who better to celebrate than our DCIs. 💖
Our Directors of Community Integration have a role focused entirely on ensuring residents are welcomed with intention, care plans are aligned holistically, families are communicated with proactively, and Artis associates are supported with robust dementia education from day one.
In other words, they’re the Directors of helping people belong.
Thank you for your kindness, every day!
